Yellow rain warning and rising river levels so I didn't travel and fish

River up and challenging. We thought with colour and height that the fishing would be slightly better.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

The river was rising quickly. All fish taken from near side slack water.

Fished from about 1pm - overcast, mild, no wind. 2 chub on meat. Nice beat, good parking and easy access.

Rapidly rising river (easily over a metre) and prolonged rain throughout day, it was always going to be tough. Pace noticeably increased as did the volume of debris coming downstream, so very much confined to water close in, but even then, difficult to avoid the broil. Nothing under 5oz close to holding, so things were rather tricky. Eventually perseverance for one of us was finally rewarded with a Chub of about 2lbs, but that was it.
First time here. An impressive stretch with some good access. Will be keen to return in calmer, and less testing conditions.

Started the day fishing top and middle sections of the beat. 3 barbel caught fishing the crease line as the river began to rapidly rise. Soon the river was too high for this area so spent the afternoon exploring the lower end of the fishery. Amount of leaves and debris made life difficult but managed to find 2 more barbel through the afternoon including my first wye double. Worth taking a rope to access some swims though plenty of access to more comfortable swims if not carrying one.

River dropping but stretch unfishable, swims few and far between and all under water. Tree growth was unchecked. We have fished this stretch over the last 15 years and every time there are fewer and fewer safe swims. Didn't risk fishing at all. Wash off claimed.

River was up and over the croys but still very clear, there was meant to be four fishing again, but one still missing with man flu, DM and JM caught a decent Chub each early and called it a day due to work commitments. GW dug in the trenches hoping for more ,only to rewarded with three minnows. Hopefully get back next summer. Had a great few days thanks to the Wye and Usk.

Difficult session, two fished but very few bites and only one chub on the bank. Tried various baits and all swims.
