River still too high really, only two swims feasibly fishable. With no bites til lunchtime and the rain showing no sign of stopping I threw in the towel and went home to get warm.

Fished pellets with feeders or pva bags on a rising river. Only a handful of canoes and kayaks to deal with. The upstream rod had two fish in the morning with the downstream rod producing most fish in the afternoon. Barbel between 5-7lb.

Nice to have one fish in very difficult conditions.

Very difficult day in testing conditions. A strong, gusty wind and a rising river proved challenging but a long search for fishable water we found enough to keep us occupied. The end result was three barbel with a best of just over seven, two decent chub around three pounds and one feisty eel. All fish came to multiple lobworm on straight leger rigs.

Did not fish due to extremely high levels. Hopefully it will drop enough over night for a go tomorrow.

First time on this fishery the river is running very high and fast. I walk the whole beat first but was unable to tell where the swims are, I attempted to fish in one possible swim using meat but got snagged and lost tackle on the first two casts so packed up.
Parking at the bottom of the hill is pretty muddy and the hill out slippery, ok in a 4x4 but would not try it in a 2 wheel drive
I will definitely be back when the river is lower and the weather better.

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.
