A much better day on lower section, even though the river started to rise from late morning. Nice 6lb barbel to legered pellet and two chub from a different swim on pellet, weighing 3.00 and 4.14. Latter fish looked a definite 5.00, alas it wasn't to be but still a pb for the angler in question :-) Rest of the catch return is small dace.
This is a lovely peaceful fishery with lots of wildlife to see but it would benefit from more swim creation - long lines of willow trees make access impossible for much of the lower section.

River very high and coloured, only a couple of small dace caught on float from slack in pool at bottom end. Disappointing.

Frustrating day with a only a few knocks, probably from chub, to speak of. While lots of small fish activity in lower pools as the river continues to fall, the barbel and chub failed to show to pellets and meat. Lots of unwelcome midge activity due to still, damp conditions!

Treacherous conditions, slipped over numerous times on dangerous bank. River still in flood, debris coming down the river, I think this day should have been a WASH OFF!!

High river difficult fishing

Did not fish , river too high and dangerous .

Fished for 5 hours and gave up and went to a local pub,T he Moon at Mordiford for a pint. Not a touch, the river was on the rise and really pushing through with loads of debris making fishing difficult

5 barbel, one 11lb. Others ranged 6 to 8lb. Very large eel guessed to be about 5lb. Chub 3lb.

River up about a metre over the last two days but fortunately less weed coming down. Shared one rod in a peg with some shelter from the fast current. Fished down the edge and caught 6 barbel and a good chub of 4lbs+ at regular intervals.
