Unable to fish due to river height after recent storm

On arrival a very high and heavily coloured river limited swim choice but we found a couple of fishable swims in the meadow and the first fish was caught within 5 mins of fishing. Another five followed between 9:30-12:00 and then things went quiet until 16:00-17:00 when two more fish were added to the tally. The river dropped by 2m during the day and the main feeding spell came mid morning as the river level started to fall. Also lost a couple of barbel to hooklinks snapping on rocks during the fight. As a result I would recommend the use of flourocarbon hooklinks and regularly checking line for damage as it does happen a lot. All fish came to pretty standard feeder rigs. Car got stuck in the meadow just through the gate and had to be rescued with the generous help of Don (thanks again you hero!). Don’t park here if the ground is wet! Highly recommend the fish and chips from The Wye Fry in Lydbrook.

River level very high and water very murky making conditions difficult if not impossible. Only Corner and Vanstone pools fishable realistically. Still a nice day out and a beautiful beat.

River still partially in flood but fish rising in pools late in the evening

1 Trout, 1 Chub

We returned to this lake as we were unable to fly fish on Llwyn on.

2 anglers fished. Beautiful beat and lovely sunshine, but the heavy overnight rain meant the river was chocolate brown and gushing through. The river rose 2m during the day so we targeted the few slacks we could access and managed a barbel each at the start and end of the day, on pellet and cage feeder. So easy to book, and great directions/guide to find the place.

All on meat from the lower half of the fishery. River rising throughout the day. Safe access throughout
