Quite difficult to find three pegs as the river was so high. Will return after a spell of dry weather.

5 Barbel, 1 Chub

We had a great day on Thomas Wood despite our fears with the very high water levels. The river was around 3.5m at Ross, though falling, the field was partially flooded and we had to walk/wade to our swims. We managed to find a few areas with slightly steadier water close in, however it was still torrential and chocolate brown. We all fished feeder or bomb meat or pellets. We had 20 barbel between us in the day, the biggest going 9lb 8oz with a good average size around 7lb.

Did not fish, river in flood, too hazardous. Very disappointed!

Conditions looked perfect river at a nice height with good colour started at 07-45 and had two barbel 2lb-4oz and 7lb-8oz in the first hour then nothing more in that swim.Moved swim and had another small barbel at 2lb and a 5lb 10 oz chub left at 5-30,groundbait feeder with pellet and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.

First time on this beat, the fishing was hard. Tried 4/5 swims but did manage 2 barbel, biggest 6lb. No swims fishable until the dead tree swim. Then 4/5 in the meadow. Tried first swim in the woods but didn’t venture further. Will try again.
