I’ll start this by saying I’m fairly new to river fishing in general, fishing for barbel more so, I know the basics, and catch reasonably well when the rivers at normal levels, I always struggle when the waters up, although I did catch my pb barbel on a flooded ribble, the stretches I fish, to me seem generally devoid of slack water when the rivers high, I’ve found a few slacks and do occasional catch , but for me I generally end up trying to fish into the main flow, some times it works, mostly it doesn’t, how would you approach a flooded river if there was no slack water available ?
