A really tough day, the river was dropping but still high, No slack water to be found so resulted in 180g feeders to hold bottom. With loads of slack water on the far side you could see exactly where the fish would be.

River heavily in flood, right to the top of the bank, 1 rod caught all 4 fish.

Blanked, river heavily in flood.

River rising through out the day making it difficult to fish but at least the banks are safe to fish in these conditions. Two small barbel caught on meat

Had a good day despite the damp weather, river was very high and started rising fast in afternoon but I managed to locate a couple of areas of slack water and was happy to end up with 5 Barbel up to 8 lbs 11 oz and a couple of nice Chub around 4 lbs,looking forward to visiting again next season

River still high but conditions looked good. Water was cold. Caught early but then struggled for the rest of the day. Fished six swims but the barbel were hiding somewhere and not really feeding

After the all- time record flood a few days earlier , we managed to get on to a swim that was entirely fishable with the river well within its banks, still amazed that 2 days earlier our location had been under 5 feet of water. Caught nothing but it was nice to get behind the rod for a few hours. River had gone from a raging torrent to a fast flowing fishable river in 48 hours and the fish had obviously found somewhere to lay up , clearly not where we fished. We didn't get to fish where we thought they might be hiding for reasons of safety and comfort. But it was a lovely day and the Creel is a great location . Another time, then.

Couldn’t fish river flooded!

Wet and windy but the river was a good level and fish feeding. Feeder and pellets.
