River apparently 4.1 metres up, chocolate brown, and flowing about 100 mph! Weather was OK . Couldn’t hold the bottom with 120g feeder. We managed to find a place where there was some slack water on the bend and we could both fish. Had four bites between us and caught 3 Barbel about six pound and one 7lb all on meat. Will return when river drops, if only to retrieve lost feeders from the trees and bushes below us!

Not even Storm Babet and the river at 2.3m could stop me taking on the hill again. Glad I made the effort as a steady flow of barbel came and finally finished with 10 up to 8lb 9oz. Groundbait and pellet feeder doing the business. It would be so nice if a tunnel could be dug through the hill though, as the walk doesn’t get any easier.

River fining down nicely although still a strong flow out in the middle. Steady flow of chub, and rewarded by one barbel each.

I was plagued by small chub attacking my bait as soon as it hit the water in the morning but they moved on and in the afternoon I had 3 decent barbel 7 - 8 lbs and one decent chub of about 4 lbs.
I am glad I was the only angler on this stretch yesterday as there are very few swims , at least along the hut section.
I didnt venture further downstream past the landslide , but the river looked very rocky and shallow as far as I could see down river.
The steep bank made fishing quite uncomfortable, I wouldnt go back to this stretch.
3 Barbel, 20 Chub
