Started fishing at 11.15 but cut short by medication issue at 2.00pm, so not quite 3 hours fishing, probably at least promising part of the day, the car temp gauge saying 33 degrees on the way home.
Fishing was however good, the river was low, had a tinge of colour and some blanket weed coming down. Fished straight 1/2oz lead which was holding bottom a third to half way across.
Started on sweetcorn and then halibut pellet and had kno0cks/taps on both, but no real takers. After an hour and a half switched to garlic meat and first cast the tip jagged round and a 2lb eel graced the net, Further proper bites on meat saw a further eel landed, about half the size of the previous one. I was sorry to leave as bites were coming thick and fast.
Another great day on this fantastic beat. Only downsides for the day were navigating the deep ruts into the field in a non-4x4 car, and the 2 tractors cutting the grass and bankside vegetation on the far bank - it needed doing but just broke the peace and serenity that usually prevails.
Looking forward to a quick return

|A lovely day with my mates who travelled a long way to fit in a day before the harvest starts. After repairing the picnic table we enjoyed a very prolonged lunch in the shade of the ash trees; Really too hot for fishing today but a nice temperature after about 8pm as the sun began to drop.Barbel in the faster water & looked in good condition but they all had a lot of lice behind the pectoral fins which we removed as they recovered in the net. I don't suppose my friends would have got back home much before 1am. but I know they all enjoyed a wonderful day at Whitney Court. Thank you Terry & WUF.

Eels were about on the meat. Lots of small Chub on the float in the woods. More swimmers than canoes!

A blistering hot day suitable for sitting beside a pool with the drink of your choice not ideal fishing weather! No shade on this stretch of the Wye so really suffered in the heat. Managed a few out but retired early to the comfort of the air conditioning in the car. One point of note higher up the beat is a great looking peg lower down than Foy Bridge just below the rapids which has wooden steps going down to it but is all over grown. If you go to the trouble of installing steps on a swim that would be ideal in low flow conditions then why not spend the time in the close season maintaining it?
