Wow! What a stunning piece of water. Very low water, clear river and high air pressure conditions was always going to make it tough going. However, I managed a lovely barbel and chub during my 3 hour session.
Thanks to WUF as always for the clear maps and a good selection of swims.

A Very tough day fishing. Wandered all over the beat and fished hard. The weather and moon phase made it obvious that this was going to be the case.
Saw plenty of king fishers, signs of an otter and beautiful surroundings as usual.

A difficult day on a very low and all but non flowing river, best chance would have been in the fast water at Boys Rock but the heavy number of canoes made this an impossible choice. Should really have known better and not booked a Sunday but sometimes there is no option! A lot of algae and silk type weed across the river which also did not inspire confidence.

Second day on the beat managed 3 barbel each best 8lb and one chub 4lb 8oz. Lots of disruption from drunken canoeists!!

River low but good days fishing 5 barbel and one chub all on pellet and feeder from several swims.

Really difficult day on a river desperately in need of rain.
Fished 12 hours, all the barbel to one angler on pellet.
Hopefully levels will be up when I return next month.

Another good afternoon on the Wye. Set up at about 3pm after a bit of an explore and settled for the Boys Rocks swim. Fished simple pellet/feeder tactics and saw plenty of action, two barbel to just over 10lb and three decent chub.
River was in good condition, not loads of accessible swims on this beat but enough to have a go at.

Fished the Rocks, the Wires and shallows but struggled. River low but weather conditions good. Managed 3 barbel and 2 eels on pellets and meat. Very long walk due to using the gate on right instead of gate on left!
