Didn't fish at all over the two days I booked for. The river was in flood and looked unfishable. Next time !!!!

Not the best of days to be venturing out with early rain giving way to strong winds and showers. River was very high and coloured, 2.25m at the Mordiford gauge. Started at the furthest upstream end as there seemed to be a little bit of slacker water inside... but no bites there. Then moved over the hill and fished in the swim at the downstream end of the first field. Flow was fiercer here but eventually i started getting some interest on meat close in. Fully expected eels to be the culprits but eventually hooked and landed a modest chub. That pattern continued through to the early afternoon, ended up with 6 chub from that swim, all on meat. Biggest about 4lb but most around 2lb. The vast majority came from under my feet but i did also get a couple of bites further out and down a bit. Would have preferred to move around a lot more but the swims in the woods were unreachable in the high water and many of the downstream field swims were just too treacherous to attempt with liquid mud in the heavy rain. Tried pellets and boilies but nothing showed any interest. Will definitely return here in the simmer. I'd fished here before but never ventured much beyond the wood and it looks like in lower conditions you'd be spoilt for choise.

The water was high so could not wade but still accessible in part from the bank.

River up and rising. Most swims very unfishable due to high river levels and extremely fast flow. Found one area where it was slack enough to fish, and managed to catch a few. A dry and sunny day and a lovely location none the less.
