Good to have a bit of rain. think its Possibly to much for the river! Could have done with this a few weeks ago. Grrr. Cold rain and flooded river = no barbel for me. Might have to get out after the carp this weekend.
Bristol Avon water temp was reading 7.5 today and nearly over in the fields this morning, any more rain and it soon will be, tons of debris coming down as well.
popped over nicks at premier angling in keynsham this afternoon for a few bits, you know the weir at keynsham?... well there wasn't one, just one big chocolate swirling mass hammering it's way down to bristol...
Went for a wonder along the BA today. River well within its banks and chocolate brown. Absolutly pounding through aswel. Looks good for a bite or 2. Will get out soon i hope. Tight lines
I expect it is in the fields now, was rising quickly earlier & the water is just pouring off the fields, the wiltshire roads were like rivers today! Cheers James
Now grasp your rod, and hold it firm, as if your life at stake, as if old mother nature had borne to make it break, or maybe the barbel in your swim takes humbridge at your steak, so offer him another source maybe to make him take...
