River level up 1.2 metres overnight and really pushing through so was not expecting much success. However had a challenging but really enjoyable day. Chub all over 4lb and barbel at 8.5 & 9.5lb. All fish caught in bottom field, rod length out, in crease on meat / pellet.

River up and rising. Most swims very unfishable due to high river levels and extremely fast flow. Found one area where it was slack enough to fish, and managed to catch a few. A dry and sunny day and a lovely location none the less.

Desperate conditions, the river looked really good and we anticipated a good day, two bites all day and lashing rain, one to be remembered,for all the wrong reasons.
Better next time.

Morning air temperature a barmy 11 degrees, river at 2.2m, thermometer in my mates bag at home. River a lovely colour with viz about a foot and not tanking through as much as we feared. Both started at the bottom, me in the swim that's been most kind to us this year and Steve in another. He got bites from chub steadily through the morning and then 4 barbel through the day and unsurprisingly stayed where he was. I had one bite pulling out of a small chub and tried another 2 swims down the bottom for 3 chub before moving up the top for the last 2 hours. Two 6lb barbel saved my day (Steve's were between 3 and 7) to make it a satisfying day for both of us. GB feeders and a wide selection of hookbaits.

A really difficult day on the river bank but enjoyable nevertheless. Need the river to drop 0.5m to be able to fish in any of the usual spots.
