Total blank. Very very hot. Swimmers made fishing very tricky. Boat traffic heavy but courteous.

River down and slow, rained all day, very few bites but a couple of lovely chub around the 5lb mark on feeder/pellet.

Arrived fashionably late at lunchtime had a look at the top end then drove to the bottom end to start, found it a bit difficult to fish any distance out due to the hundreds of canoes & paddleboarders passing by, moved up the beat trying different swims without a bite. The traffic ceased by 4 o'clock & the river fell silent I made my way back to the bottom end & managed to tempt a Chub of about 3lb followed by a 9lb Barbel & a smaller 1 to finish with, all fish caught on feeder fished pellet. Not sure I would fish the bottom end again as it is very snaggy I had to change the hooklink every cast as it either came back damaged or missing. Always good to be on the Wye.

very slow day, I didn't see a barbel or chub roll all day. I moved 4 times, but only caught a few eels! had to leave at 7pm to head home, so missed the usual evening activity if there was any :/

Unlikely to return to this beat as overhanging trees caused too many problems for casting.

Fished from 18:00 after very hot day, lost one barbel but otherwise very quiet. A small chub saved the blank.

One eel, one barbel and one happy son, who caught his first barbel.
