River still in flood conditions, very coloured water and fast flowing. Fished with heavy feeders to hold bottom, utilising a variety of hook baits including, boilie, sausage and cheese flavoured halibut pellets along with pepparami sausage. Chub taken on cheese flavoured halibut pellet and pepperami.

River too high to wade, so the feeder rod came out for Barbel and chub.

A lot of water on after the resent rain. I persisted on 3/4oz feeder, and one lovely barbel tried to drag the rod into the river around 4.30pm.

At 2m, on river levels, at Lydbrook, theres still 2 swims to get comfy in. I had to let a bow out on my line, and you can just about hold bottom with a 3oz feeder. Theres really good flow on!

A couple of snags, to be expected in this sort of conditions. But enjoyable. Ones enough for me, although a few more is always nice.. Maybe tomorrow!
