River totally flooded unfishable on this beat should get my money back , absolutely gutted

First time on this beat so always an exciting prospect. Greeted by a very chocolate brown fast flowing, rising river, so decided to walk the beat to seek out any possible swims. Chose to start at the church end and work back trying the slack areas close in. The one other was an eel, caught on cheese, our only bite of the morning. Had a break and decided to give the wooded swims a try, opted for about the 7th swim along, using cheese and garlic soft hookers wrapped in meaty paste, which resulted in the 2 barbel ( 5lb and 7lb 12oz). With the river continuing to rise we called it a day, but will return on a normal day.

Hard days fishing, river was very high and fast flowing . But we still managed to catch a few nice fish , luckily we bagged the only acceptable swim along the stretch

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Difficult conditions on a rising river. Fished only the morning due to torrential rain in the afternoon. 5 chub taken on float tactics to pellet.

Unfortunately the rain from the previous evening brought the river up very fast. I arrived at the river at 8.30 am and it was rising , very coloured and full of floating debris. I had a quick go with a flying c but way too much debris floating downstream. I'm not sure if Greenbank has a wash off policy but it would be nice if it has.

7 Barbel to 9.5lbs all caught on 14mm pellet. plenty of swims for single angler. 2 swims if fishing as a pair.
