Feedback & Reports

Coolest day of the week after a week of extreme heat warnings. River now very low which has really hinderd the Barbel movement with such low oxygen levels and high water temperatures the rivers are in real need of rainfall. Managed 4 Chub again around 3.5lb could of had more if I had shortened the hair and hook length, krill and Bloodworm dumbells doing the trick on the feeder. Will as ever return later in season.

Decided not to fish due to extreme heat red warning. This follows 3 days of amber heat warnings. So decided to survey and find the parking areas of other beats that I have booked. Thought of going back to do a late evening session. Do like this fishery But it was just too hot still. Will be back.

Weather conditions hot. Found some early sport up to 12.00 which produced 2 Barbel, best of the pair 8lb. 8 Chub followed all a good 3-4lb and 6 eels all came to touch line luncheon meat. Pub lunch followed at Inn on the Wye. Back for afternoon and evening session which resulted in nothing more caught. 4 swims tried. Barbel not moving out of the more oxygenated water yet. This is possibly due to later than normal spawning at a guess. River levels seemed normal. Barbel just not moving about yet. Nothing on the usual types of dumbells.
