Avon Barbel

hi, still up a good foot, maybe more today, but colour dropping out fast, still quite pacey.
not out this weekend, but good luck to all that venture out

up a tad today
river frome over the humpback bridges at farleigh hungerford, road impassable
may have to fish the canal this weekend.

Fill your boots time on the BA, that is if you can find where its meant to be

not easy, wiltshire one eck of an inland sea at present, anyone thats brave, take rope and tie yourself in but wouldnt recommend it, take care!!!

Think I will give the river a miss this weekend from a fishing perspective, but will go for a walk with the camera, love a river in full flood.
Cheers

was considering fishing on tues as i have a day off work. could anyone who sees the river on Monday am / pm tell me whether th BA is back within its banks again. will log in on tues morning before i decide to set off or not. any info will be appreciated.

cheers

yes will do rat, but looking at the pics at malmesbury today it wont top out downstream til tomorrow and keynsham, by tuesday, although the frome dropped three feet today, if not more, i drove to bath this am and the river frome was up to the road by stowford farm! good job no one camping!! and flowing hard through the car park, however when we came back at 3pm river back within its banks, so went down quick.
drove along a36 and river avon was swamping the playing fields at limpley stoke, cars going through by haydens but creating bow waves as they went thru the water, really impressive stuff warleigh looked amazing too!

thanks for info.

i got a work colleague who lives in chippenham, he gonna take a look in town centre and give me a shout too.

not been out since start of oct and i am desperate to go!!

plus i remember a couple of seasons ago going out to find the river only just within its banks and the fishing was excellent. element of luck i suppose too but nothing like chucking out a huge bit of meat and then feeling it bump around on the bottom waiting for a fish to nail it!!!
