Well that's the river fucked for the foreseeable

I'm very near the Great Ouse which is crazy high at the moment. Is the main reason fishing high rivers is hard because of failing to hold bottom?

Same here Jambon. It's my local.
At the moment the main reason fishing is hard is because the river is now all over the nearby land! but yeah when it's in flood but still fishable you can either fish a float at 100 miles an hour or use a really heavy feeder and a large bow in the line. I tend to use as heavy a feeder as my rod allows and fish in the margins and slack waters - there's over 12ft just in front so there's plenty of fish still there.

and a large bow in the line.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong, thanks for the tip. I was quivertipping the other day and detecting bite indication was comical.
