3 x Barbel: 10lb 4oz; 10lb 2oz and 9lb 8oz.
Any of the three easily beat my previous best barbel so a fantastic day on a wonderful river.

Another slow session with the only barbel of the day at 5.15pm and an eel at last knockings. Conditions not ideal but still a pleasure to be on this stretch.

Stu fished the inspection chamber swim and had 6 chub and a nice 9.13 barbel at dusk. John fished the swim above and never had a touch. Just goes to show how fickle the Wye can be.

River has dropped back and the bright sunny sky in the morning made it hard going. Only one barbel and a few small chub before lunch. Afternoon improved as clouds built and the other barbel came late on and included a 10.15, the only barbel bite I had all day but it was worth it. We are booked again tomorrow.

My first day at the fishery and my recent river fishing experience is limited, but I put in an 11 hour shift so obviously disappointed with my catch (one eel, all day)! Lovely stretch of river and conditions seemed good so no excuses but the only other angler on the beat that morning had no joy either. Was it a change in barometric pressure with the approaching storm or that Sahara sand, which also turned the sun into a tangerine about mid-day?
