Numbers of barbel, and chub,gathering in the right areas on the Goyt, not actually spawning yet but shouldnt think it'll be too long now.

Also came across a group of chub that appeared to poking their heads right out the water and actually taking flies out the air. Anyone else seen chub doing this?

Just back from a walk along my local (and famous / infamous on the old BFW) River Pinn. Astonishing sight. Fish of between of 3 and 9 (maybe even a 10-plus) going at like good uns. Tiny river, too.

3s to a suspected 10-plus?

Yes.

Inches.

Dace.

Ah yes the fabulous River Pinn never ceases to amaze. They have even been at it on the Medway revelling in the sunshine.
