Started fishing about 20.30 but only a few chub rattles in the first 2 swims. Managed a 5lber on 22mm halibut at 22.30 in a run where a few fish were rolling. Expected more but it didn't happen. At least I'm off the mark!

I managed to get on for a few hours yesterday evening, it was 5-6' up and still rising. Found another angler in one of my favourite high water swims, he'd had 3 fish in the last 2 hours, all 5-6lbs.

What a great day!!!
Dropped into a peg I have fished in high water before and had steady sport until I ran out of bait!!! Got there about 5am, only 3 cars there, past a couple of other spots on the way and didn't see anyone...not many braved the elements. Had 13 shoalies in all, biggest maybe just over 7lb. Fished 15mm boilies to start and had a few on meat later. River level came up about 10-12 inches while I was there. Of the debris that floated by I think the gas cylinder was the most impressive...

Tremendous result Nick! God angling sir
Oh, the weirdest thing I saw floating down was what looked like a large metal filing cabinet. Must have been six foot by three. ![]() By three methods we may learn the wisdom to catch barbel: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.-(Apologies to Confucius!) |

Re: Gas Canister | ||

Checked the webcam a few times today.
Not sure but it looks like the level dropped quickly, but is on its way back up again!!! Nick. |

Re: Gas Canister | ||

Been keeping an eye on the webcam all day Nick and its dropped at least three foot since this morning
Mind you, the heavens have just opened again here (Wolves) and with the forecast for tomorrow being another monsoon I don`t think it`ll be long `til the ducks have to find somewhere else to sit as the gravel spit will be once again submerged. Just wondering, what does everyone think of the conditions? Early doors on the Severn have always been patchy but I thought with the extra water it would fish its head off. Now they`ve had a good pulse of water and the rivers dropped do you think another quick rise will affect them that much? ![]() By three methods we may learn the wisdom to catch barbel: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.-(Apologies to Confucius!) |
