Sunny start with slight breeze and a 16 degree water temperature. I picked Wyebank for the season start as the water channels through a fast run so when the rest of the nearby stretches are sluggish there's always oxygenated flow here. You have to walk the croys or wade to get to it. Not yesterday as it was 0.7 at the start and all but a metre by the time I left. It's not an easy place to fish in high water. That said I had 5 chub over 3lb and a £ and half lb barbel and lost a couple, and the only 90g feeders (GB and big pellets) I'd brought with me in the very rocky bottom mid river. Still a very enjoyable day and SO good to be back!

Lovely stretch of river with plenty of access to the water. Seemed to be a lot of snags in the middle section but we managed a few fish in between losing tackle. Other was an eel, nice to see the are still some about.

Arrived at the river to find the pool swim inaccessible due to the high levels . This was a bit of a blow but safety first ! Fished the only 2 swims available , not a lot happening here today , a complete polarisation from yesterday’s bonanza .
With the constant rain and zero action I decided to call it at 5 pm . Still a great beat and looking forward to next season

As per MA from Cheshire 7/10/23 we decided not to (couldn't fish) as the bottom half of the beat was inaccessible as water levels had restricted access and those areas that may have been a possibility for a brave person just didn't look safe as bank and path to beat was very slippy / dangerous and with the weather as it was , a rising river and the forecast to be we took the sensible and safe option of not fishing which was a real shame (is this a wash off? I appreciate it wasn't totally flooded but sense prevailed on this occasion).

Started fishing at 2:30 - finished 5:30 - lots of rapid water - 2 barbel 1 chub from a third of the way out
