10 Barbel, 2 Chub

River was low and clear so bites were hard to come by for most of the day. Managed 5 Barbel between us on meat and boiles casting accross to the gully beneath the trees on the far bank. Biggest fish was about 6llbs.

The shear volume of canoes were a real problem (well over 200) with several capsized and people walking down the river. It was pretty much un fishable for several hours. This can be a prolific beat, but I wouldnt recommend it during the summer months.

Unable to fish, river had risen after the heavy rain and swims were under water.

River level was up but fining down with a slight tinge of colour. 1 Barbel and 1 Chub caught during the afternoom and the rest caught in a 2 hour feeding spell to dusk. All caught on meat. Absolute chaos with the canoes resulting in one sinking in my swim and another turning over in the far bank willows with kids screaming they didn't want to die hanging onto the branches and their dad who wasn't wearing a life jacket trying to get them out!.. which thankfully he did. The Wyebank stretch is fast flowing especially with higher water levels and some of these people have not been in a canoe before, the hire companies should station someone at Lydbrook to keep an eye on and advise their customers how to tackle this stretch without hitting the cribs or far bank trees and sinking!... It might also help us anglers.
