Didn't fish river was very low , after a hard day the previous day we decided not to fish.

Started the day at the top end of the fisherie and slowly moved to the lower end the river was low and with the humid conditions fishing was hard, eventually managed to land a Chub before packing up at the end of a hard but enjoyable day.

Another heatwave day on the bank. Water levels now low and still dropped off. Made for not a great day for Barbel. Fished another fishery previous for 2 days no Barbel for me and the same here. Tried 3 different swims with a bit of flow. Chub in one of those swims were attacking the bait before reaching bottom. 18 chub in total not weighed biggest around 4lb most were around 3lb to 3lb 8oz a couple of Chublet's. Barbel completely of the feed. Sounds disappointing because come for the Barbel but hay 18 Chub is a decent haul. All hair rigged on various pellets.

Again we were really struggling to find fishable swims. Just about every swim was completely overgrown and unusable.

Hardly any swims usable. Does the Wye and Usk ever check that the fishery owners do any work to make swims usable. At £25 a time it’s a disgrace.

Very hot day. Tried 3 swims had Chub from 2 swims totaling 16 all a good size to 4lb 8oz best of the day. Barbel just didn't seem to come on the feed today. All on feeder. Water was still drop off a tad. Pack up at 19.00

Another hot day. Didn't start till 9.30am breakfast at Inn on Wye too good to miss as I am on a fishing holiday so stayed on Fishery Until 20.30hrs. Obviously missing a early start meant being patient in the heat but early afternoon into evening was rewarded with 3 Barbel 7lb 2oz, 7lb 4oz and small one of about 1lb. An accumulation 7 Chub followed, best was 4lb 4oz just spawned, others were all in and around 3lb. Got a little greedy if I am honest as thinking late evening Barbel would move in. Tried various haired baits but for me Krill always seems to be best overall. 3 different swims today. All fish came from last choice fabulous swim. Bumped into Adam who was on his rounds so got to say hello. All in all another cracking day with some good fish in an AMAZING setting.
