The river was very shallow with a fast deeper stretch on the far bank, which meant waders on in a foot of water, big rocks were a problem wading, and great care was taken. Fished luncheon meat on a hair, holding back a 1oz ledger and waited for a drop back bite, 2 barbel both about 3lb, before the heavens opened up and had to abandon the river for 4 hrs. After lunch we fished from the bank at the 1st croy for a similar barbel and 5 chub between 2 - 4lb. The walk down river was very dangerous (slipery rocks ) and no space to fish but the narrow path, the fishing was active, so we were kept busy.

A brilliant days fishing. It started slowly. I must have spent at least an hour hunkered down under my umbrella as a thunderstorm circled. On the plus side it did reduce the canoe traffic but a few hardy souls were on the water with lightning flashing round them. I fished a faster stretch first and weed was a bit of a problem and the bank was extremely slick from the rain. I did get a couple of decent chub there. I moved to a safer and slower swim and was surprised by the results. The biggest barbel was 7lb 8 oz. I also had another over 7 lb and 2 over 6 lb. The chub were normal Wye standard - up to 4 lb. All were caught on feeder with meat or boilie on the hair.
