Just back from the atdac tees water. Aye it was pushing through compared to Tuesday night and brown in colour with a few big logs floating by. Fished close in along a slack line and managed one chub to 4lb 6oz and lost another to a snapped hook link.
Agreed some of the banks can be dangerous, well worth a look around to familiarise yourself.

Andy, I didn't get there till 7pm. Forgot to check levels so didn't realise it would be up. Looks like that was the time of the high point so it was just starting to fall by 10pm.
Having been there many times you get to know where the slacks and eddy's are.

One of the drawbacks of river fishing unfortunately,Andy.
I'd checked the river app. before setting off so knew it was on its' way,nothing we can do other than give it a go or put the gear away and stop at home.
