Got there and the r8ver was over 2m and flowing through very fast, almost turnt round and went home, walked a little and found a nice slack in the margin. Had a bit in the first 30 mins and ended up spending 9 hours in the same place, ended up with 7 chub upto 5lb7oz (new pb) All caught on 14mm halibut pellet, switched to meat and had an eel so switched back straight away.

The best fishing was in the slower water close to the bank after recent rains put the level up to 7' on the Lydbrook guage a few miles upriver. Three barbel at 4, 7 1/2 and 9 1/4 lbs (a pb) and two eels with numerous fish lost in snaggy areas below trees. A good day in difficult river conditions.. All caught on meat. They weren't up for pellets today.

Water high, coloured and moving fast after recent rains upriver. Fished the quieter water by the bank and might have had one or two more if they hadn’t escaped in tree roots.
Two decent eels also put a bend in my old fibreglass John Wilson Avon rod.

We worked our way back down from the wood carpark to the first carpark, trying swims as we went, but didn't have a sniff until we got to the bottom end. We had barbel of 2 ish and 5 ish pounds + a 4Ib 6oz chub which looked like it could tell a tale or two. The river was pushing through a bit and 4 oz leads weren't holding for long. This beat seemed less snaggy than many and as scenic as most and we'll definitely be returning. I wouldn't recommend the track with a 2 wheel-drive car if it's wet and certainly don't attempt to drive to the top car park in muddy conditions. Luckily we were in the Hilux or might have still been there now!
