Patchy day on a swollen river. The hill is a killer !

5 Barbel, 1 Chub

With a gusting north westerly,heavy showers and the river up and coloured, the Lucky Stone was 2ft. under water, conditions were far from perfect. The wooded area was very slippery didn't feel safe to fish so settled for a couple of swims in the field below the woods. We managed to find a few fish, Barbel in the 5 to 7 lb. range, the Chub in the 3 to
4 and a half lb. range all taken on meat, a few fish lost to hook pulls frustratingly and the other, a Dace of about 5 inches, believe it or not, fell to 2 hair rigged 8mm red robins!!!

Arrived with my 11y old son and good friend late morning with the river up and racing through in first field- didn’t look good!
Took a walk over the woods into 1st field to see if water any better and it was. I fished a swim with my son & we landed 14 barbel between 5lb & 7lb plus, losing 3 more. My friend fishing next swim down had 8 barbel up to 7lb plus. All fish caught between 12pm & 5pm as it rained continuously. All caught to pellet a couple of rod lengths out.

Great day’s fishing.

Flooding. Lost a massive barbel from lucky rock, nothing more.

In woods with storm on the way lots of trees coming down????
