Level quite high, 2m on the Ross gauge and coloured. Struggled to find many places to fish due to the high banks. This is not a good stretch to fish in high water conditions due to the dangerous banks and lack of sheltered swims. Had one Chub in the morning and a single barbel in the afternoon. Fished for 8hrs for just 2 fish.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

No fish caught river very high and rising,lead to believe snow melt up country made river water very cold.

caught early as the water was rising.

1 Grayling, 3 Barbel, 5 Chub

wash off

1 rod with 3 barbel & 2 decent chub, all 5 fish in the first 2 hours then nothing for the rest of the day, all on feeder & pellets. 2nd rod with 15 chub & 1 grayling all on the maggots feeder on the far side, only 2 of the chub of decent size, the rest between 1 & 1& 1/2 lb. A good days fishing.

Not a bite all day.

Brief feeding spell early afternoon led to 3 barbel caught on flavoured meat. Small chub at end of day .

With the river now looking fishable after what has been almost biblical conditions for 6 weeks it was just a pleasure to be out on the banks, spent the day roving the beat with breadflake or meat as hookbait, 2 bite's and one chub, far from the best days winter chubbing but a real joy to get out again.

1 Chub

Fished 3 spots below the island, blanked, banks slippery with receding river height , very exposed in high winds, struggled to hold with 60-90g feeders. Tried multiple baits and set ups , probably needed to be more mobile

River had dropped nicely and was clearing, all chub caught in far bank slack water on maggot feeder, Barbel middle river same method.
