Fantastic day on the bank, but the fishing was hard. The river was rising fast and was racing through. Managed to eek out two beautiful 5lb chub on meat. Thank you W&UF.

Another difficult day with the river over 4 metres high and rising. The river was only 18 inches below the very top of the bank. Only one real swim to fish at the very end of the stretch on the road side. The opposite bank was too exposed to the elements of storm Gareth with extremely high winds. Only fished for around 1.5 hours due to fast rising river.
Only one chub between us of around 2lbs caught on flavour soaked boile.

Water nearly in the fields and moving like an express train couldn’t fish unfortunately!

River in spate and unfishable. Should have taken Nathan's advice nd stayed at home but ever the eternal optimist! Casting practice only!!

River up and coloured as fishing in storm Gareth!
Caught a chub of around 4lb in the slack water close in. Stayed in the same swim for the duration of the session, which was about 5 hrs long, due to most swims being unfishable with slippery banks and flooding with a few trees down and blocking other swims. Chub caught on a flavour soaked boilie. Good day had despite the awful conditions.

Did not fish, river rising rapidly.

High water and 5.9c water temperature it was a tough day!

Very wet, breezy and chilly with a few inches of extra water and a little colour. Perfect. Fished smelly paste-wrapped small boilies with a groundbait feeder. Missed a couple of bites in the morning whilst huddled under the brolly but better success in The Meadow in the afternoon with 3 cracking fish. Nice result for March.

Really difficult going after getting the car stuck on the track.
The river as I’d expected after the rain the night before was belting through. Despite trying for the first three hours it just got worse and I was forced to leave with the amount of debris coming down the river even in the margins. Just wasn’t meant to be

Only one rainbow-trout was caught today around 9 am. I was using a spinner size 2 with red body and silver medal.
