Avon Barbel

Looks a big river with a bit of water in it...

coming over a few bridges this afternoon, river brown and looked on the rise, could be good tomorow, shame i have to work.!!

Fished below Chippenham Sunday and they opened the weir gates constantly letting through a torrent of water. Very frustrating trying to fish those conditions, but at least there's some water coming down.

flood on!!!

Any Pics... Glimpsed Bradford on Avon on the news... not looking good there!

sadly no pics, but all over the fields in places, river back in bank today but still fields underwater, wasnt able to get through to holt from staverton yesterday as water on road, i heard on radio, water was over the rd in lacock yesterday, but should have fallen back by now,? maybe. More rain forecast tomorow so it may be interesting again on friday as still really high. Avoncliff on the tv yesterday adn the weir was barely visible, as the camera panned upstream.

went over the river twice this morning, had signifficantly swelled second time over, high but not couloured. if this keeps up will need flood gear on the 16th!
dont mind the wet but the bloomin wind annoys me for presentation etc

Working by the frome today and thats hammering through at a rate of knots,flood water rods here we come in june wtfu with the weather

Glad I went for a wander along the banks last weekend, doubt you would be able to see much this weekend
Hopefully it will dry up a bit next week before the big day, but will the fish be full by then
Cheers
James

Not looking good though. Bad weather forecast at least until the end of the month
