Had a good days fishing up until about 2 o’clock when the river was rising so quick the swim I was fishing became Unsafe to carry on, soaked muddy but happy with the fish I caught in not ideal conditions I went home a happy man, it got to the point I couldn’t hold in the flow and there was all sorts of debris coming down

Fined down to near normal levels but fish were elusive in the upper part. different story at the lower end where flows were a little steadier and plenty of fish on the near side on pellet

My first ever visit to fish for Barbel/Chub, river had dropped from previous few days but still fast flowing, 3 Barbel 6lb, 8lb & 6.5lb. One Chub 3lb. Barbel took pellet, chub meat. Used large feeder, with 4' hook trace. Moved from swim opposite the castle after taking first Babel and Chub to a swim opposite the car parking area, fished last 2 hours there and caught x2 Barbel, all in near side crease. Struggled to hold bottom but just about manageable.

The river still quite high & pushing hard, lovely beat, shame about the lack of swims, biggest barbel 9lb.13

Nice day out and surprisingly mild. River up a little higher than I expected. Both Barbel caught on 15mm pellet and paste about two rod lengths out in a swim opposite Goodrich Castle.

River up around 4 foot with a hint of colour - looked pretty much perfect. No bites, No fish!

barbelly looking stretch - our first visit to this water, but all 4 rodwrenchers turned out to be chub.

River Level had dropped approximately a metre since the weekend and remained at the same level during the day, an overcast day with some rain showers. 14 Barbel were caught, meat and pellets were the most successful baits. Bank very slippery and difficult to land fish, don't leave home without a rope and a dog spike
