To hot and no flow in the river today. The water is taking on a dark brownish colour. Only tried a few casts before deciding to pack up. No bites today

Fished 1430-1730 very hot and river low, tried trotting for barbel with pellet. Other was eel, lovely beat will return when river is higher.

Fished the wood section. River low, but the amount of weed growing is encouraging. moved swims twice not a bite all day long. Did see Salmon leaping though.

Dace and eels, all caught trotting.

Tough going in hot conditions but we caught one eventually in the fast water at the top end, on a spicy sausage pellet.

River 3m+ up, a lot of swims unfishable! Feeder and PVA bags!
This beat needs some work, could do with more swims being cut out!!! £22 for 3 fishable swims ain’t great!?!
Fishing Passport Note: River conditions of 3m+ will always mean only a few swims being fishable on nearly all beats. To change this would involve wholescale bank clearance, something that would ruin the wild nature of the river (one of the qualities that makes the Wye so special), as well as being illegal in a SSSI.

Great day on the Wye again. Make sure that you come from the A40 north (Fly over is closed permanently, which you can see on Googlemaps). Beautiful stretch of the Wye and river was up significantly after heavy rain. Fished top swims in woods, which were good and caught 8lb barbel in there (very snaggy though), late morning. Also, fished the middle swims, which were very fast flowing and caught the other barbel (8.5lb) here just before sunset. Great days fishing, with lots of bites all on bollies and pellets. The A40 is quite loud just to warn you. Will be back though

The river was at 0.61 on the Ross level when I arrived. Overcast and very mild. I thought I would be in for a good day, which it was for me. It was made difficult by a very strong wind which blew strongly and followed the river which made reading the water difficult and bite detection difficult too. I chose to fish closer in with the rod tip down which did help. Two barbel to about 7lb and a lovely one to probably 10 lb all taken on paste wrapped cheesy garlic pellets. Two small chub were also caught.
