Lovely day, most fish very early in the day or late. Loads of salmon jumping too. Biggest barbel around 9lb

Glorious 16th of June on a beautiful beat on the Wye which was in good condition and through out 3 barbel to 8lb, 6 good chub and a few smaller ones. Great advice from Terry made this a memorable trip - we will return.

3 Barbel, 10 Chub

5 chub and one barbel, fishing slowed after 3pm... A great day on a lovely beat free from traffic noise and very tranquil. Incredible wildlife and friendly keepers. Thank you very much... we really appreciate you allowing well behaved dogs, our terrier sits quietly with us all day.... thanks again.

A wonderful day on a beautiful river. Sadly, the chub were rather more active than the trout were in the morning, but we did have some success in the afternoon on beat 3.

Still, the highlight of the day was seeing two different salmon leaps, the first time I’ve ever seen a river run salmon! What a delight. I’m glad there’s enough water for them given the recent conditions and hopefully I’ll see them again some day.

2 Salmon parr, 1 small chub and 4 trout 3 of which were about 1lb. Fished beat 2 where there is still some depth and flow in places although quite a tinge on the water (from the algae?) Very Sporadic hatch of upwinged olives during the afternoon and evening. And a reasonable hatch of caddis about 8pm. 1 trout caught on a snipe and purple all of the other fish on an Endrick spider. Must have lost 5 trout - all of which were a good size.

River slightly coloured and a little higher than the previous week due to recent rain - still low however.
Although we saw several salmon moving and jumping, unable to connect with them.
After lunch had a couple of hours where rising fish became too much to resist and switched to trout gear. Much fun with both of us (on separate beats) finding that trout and chub were climbing on klinkhammers and grey dusters. Several fish missed and one large fish (I know... they always are) seemingly well hooked but lost after a couple of minutes.
Day cut short a couple of hours early due to prolonged biblical rain.

Perfect temperature, good flow, but far too windy.
Saw several rises and fish jumping, but unable to get any accurate casts due to the wind.

Good conditions and lots of fish moving - mostly grayling. Saw a large salmon jump mid-beat 3 and there was a lot of quite strange fish behaviour - lots of jumping and frantic flaping about on the surface. Suspect being chased by something larger. Didn't make it up past top of beat 3 but beats 3-6 lovely. Low water, but not a problem on these beats.
