Rising flooded river not our scene...so did not fish.

Heavy rain all morning so watched the rugby, Fished for a couple of hours in the afternoon. No bites.

Due to the amount of rain we had prior to Saturday I didn't fish.

Fairly slow for most of the day but a good run of fish at dusk,Chub were very fat with the biggest of 5 lbs 13 oz fooling me into thinking a Barbel was on.Barbel were 6-8 lbs.River was still fairly high but dropping slowly.

Couldn’t fish river flooded!

Had a good days fishing up until about 2 o’clock when the river was rising so quick the swim I was fishing became Unsafe to carry on, soaked muddy but happy with the fish I caught in not ideal conditions I went home a happy man, it got to the point I couldn’t hold in the flow and there was all sorts of debris coming down

Fined down to near normal levels but fish were elusive in the upper part. different story at the lower end where flows were a little steadier and plenty of fish on the near side on pellet

My first ever visit to fish for Barbel/Chub, river had dropped from previous few days but still fast flowing, 3 Barbel 6lb, 8lb & 6.5lb. One Chub 3lb. Barbel took pellet, chub meat. Used large feeder, with 4' hook trace. Moved from swim opposite the castle after taking first Babel and Chub to a swim opposite the car parking area, fished last 2 hours there and caught x2 Barbel, all in near side crease. Struggled to hold bottom but just about manageable.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub
