Not the carp swim but not a million miles away either. Water temp just under 9, river up a bit more with a nice colour to it, thought it would be ideal barbel conditions. Ended up with 1 small bream and 2 bream, 3 bream in total. Missed a few bites and lost something that felt OK but not sure if it was a barbel...and the fact I'm not sure probably means it wasnt. Maybe a bream.
