Really struggled today. Biggest chub about 3lb and biggest barbel around 6lb. Hoards of small fish which attacked and stripped the bait immediately they hit the water with rod top banging constantly with small fish and minnows trying to remove even hard baits which I guess meant the bigger fish were not around. The usual moron of canoeists, at least I think that is the collective noun for a flotilla of canoes is ????. It would be too depressing to count them but during the day it must be 200 plus meaning you cannot fish a line out in the flow, As you have to reel in and your line would be in more than out.
Fishing near the island a no go area it was chaos. Also something to consider here is the cattle. The parking spot downstream is in a field and the cattle were all around my car. Whilst they were only inquisitive and definitely lovely looking animals I did have to keep shooing them away from my car in case they used it as a scratching post. They were also crashing around in the swim next to me after climbing down steep bank to feed on the lush vegetation.
Not one of my better wye experiences to be fair.

Lots of Small Chub and Dace on the float using corn upto 10lbs of bits 4oz to 1.5lbs. 5 Chub 2.5 to 3.5LBs Plus a small Barbel. Spotted a few Big Carp on a gravel bank and managed to hook one but it took off breaking 20lb hook length. Couldn't control it as on high bank so it went where it wanted into snags :(

Hopes were high as conditions looked good but we couldn’t find the barbel until late in the evening, and then just the one on the feeder.
The afternoon spent trotting was lovely though. A lovely beat with well maintained access to swims. Thanks.

River still low, Fished from 12-9, fish taken before and after the thunder the lightening. Had to reel in and shelter in the car as the lightening was right above me.

Love this beat, it always fishes hard but I keep coming back.

Fish caught on pellet feeder tactics.

Lovely day, 10 barbel, 6 chub, 6.2 million dace and a lightning storm that epically put a halt to proceedings.
