First session of a 4 day trip to the Wye. We'd never fished White House before so took time to walk the whole beat before deciding to fish in the left field. I fished the first Croy and my mate fished further downstream. With 2 diesel extraction pumps going for most of the day it was pretty noisy coupled with rain from a drizzle to full pelt was not the best of days. Despite trying pellets, luncheon meat, and bread only action of the day was from a sub 2lb Barbel.

River was low and the day hot; not ideal conditions for fishing. Started off with a roving approach from first light picking up a couple of decent chub. Spent much of the time later in the day in the swim just upstream from the fishing hut. A few decent fish were holding up there in the faster, deeper water and things looked promising; however they proved difficult to tempt using a variety of approaches (swim feeding pellet, legered meat, float etc). Managed a couple of barbel up to 5lb and a few small chub, however the bigger fish proved illusive. Really enjoyed the day despite the slow fishing. Its a lovely stretch of river with lots of decent fish and interesting swims. We will definitely return another day when conditions are more favourable.

Late start after moving from another section that was not for us, bit of a struggle in reasonable conditions warm over cast all day river low but still a little colour all fish on feeder tactics and taken at random throughout the day and nothing in the evening period!! Still a super time had thanks wuf.

Hot day, low water, fished the bottom peg after walking the whole beat. Top half very broad and slow with few easily accessible spots, streamy water in the middle looks very nice. Had a good few chub, only one small barbel.

River very low and clear, baking hot sunny day, couldn’t stay until dusk due to family commitments. Tough day no fish, saw a couple of nice barbel in the shallows. Ps the extraction pump ran most of the day.

Very hot day , low and clear , tough going until dusk.
