The Great Ouse at Olney. My first fishing club, that I joined last year. Not the best fishing but lovely area.
Taken as night fell, the nightime pic, wasn't edited, just how it came out on my cheap phone. I actually like how it came out however.

yes, exactly. That's what I love about it, normaly something you would expect from a filter. I'm not the best photographer, but love the atmosphere it exudes (ok, maybe getting a little carried away there

For chub, Perch particularly, but sadly not the barbel which I really wanted to target. Also the joining price very reasonable considering how much bank you have access to.
You're fishing the wrong river if you want barbel

Probably put up an autumn view of this swim already. Winter is less colourful!
After failing to catch a barbel in December I was having withdrawal symptoms. So after a day where it reached a very sunny 16c I thought I should give this deep swim a try for my first barbel of 2022.
When I got there the air temperature was about 4c after a frosty night. For a few hours I felt quite warm in the sun, the fish were biting from the off......
Two very good chub, one 3.8 lb the next 4.6 lb, came quite quickly. Then my first barbel of 2022 at 4.9 lb, I was off the mark!
I lost another fish after a savage take and short run, trace must have caught a rock. Probably a carp!
Stuck it out into the freezing darkness and had one more barbel. Not weighed but bigger than the first.
This winter fishing is not so bad after all!
