River was really flooded and full of floating trees. I was only able to fish beneath the rod tip, but the barbel were feeding with 3 caught to 8lb and 3 lost. Also had a eel. First time at this stretch and at the end i parked, it was very overgrown with limited spots to be able to fish from.

River totally flooded unfishable on this beat should get my money back , absolutely gutted

First time on this beat so always an exciting prospect. Greeted by a very chocolate brown fast flowing, rising river, so decided to walk the beat to seek out any possible swims. Chose to start at the church end and work back trying the slack areas close in. The one other was an eel, caught on cheese, our only bite of the morning. Had a break and decided to give the wooded swims a try, opted for about the 7th swim along, using cheese and garlic soft hookers wrapped in meaty paste, which resulted in the 2 barbel ( 5lb and 7lb 12oz). With the river continuing to rise we called it a day, but will return on a normal day.

Difficult conditions on a rising river. Fished only the morning due to torrential rain in the afternoon. 5 chub taken on float tactics to pellet.
