Fish can still be caught in high water conditions, Barbel will feed in mild conditions even with 10 or 12ft of flood water in the river, whats needed is lots of experience of where the fish will be, safety should be priority in these conditions, only fish where you feel safe, large lumps of meat work in high coloured water, worms might be worth a go, the upper Severn drops a lot faster than downstream, so a trip to the river around the Welshpool area might be worth a go, the upper river is on my doorstep, so having fished it for over 40 years i have a good idea where to head when the Severn is up.
