The river was low and the sun was blazing but still manage to catch a few, all on the feeder with pellets.

I've fished this beat many times before in previous years and have never seen it so low. The water temperature was like a warm bath! Arrived at the river around 6pm and fished till dark. 3 barbel to around 5lb taking extreme care to rest them prior to release. Broken at the hook by a huge take at the very end of the session - made the heart beat rather fast!

The first day of our annual pilgrimage to the mighty Wye. Although the old girl isn't looking quite so mighty with the very low flow. But still beautiful to the eye.

We fished in the woods where the water was quickest and connected with a few. Barbel to 5lb and chub to 3lb. All fish were well rested and swam off strongly. The weed was a constant problem and the sharp shower in the early evening was a transient one.

But another fabulous day in our favourite place. Two happy lads (one old 'un and one young 'un).

Difficult fishing today. Trotting a float with hemp and meat, caught two small chub and a dace. This is a huge stretch with various sections of shallow and deep water. I spent too much time in the shallow sections and didn't get enough time to fish the deeper water further down stream. Very low water conditions, a bright and hot day. Bring on some good rain!

A very steady evening session on a low and hot river Wye. After walking the stretch we settled in some swims with the intention of moving later on. We had a couple of barbel before the rain started which scuppered plans of moving - the rain was much needed but wasn't enough to affect the current conditions. Biggest barbel was 8.8 and swam off strongly.

Fished below the steps from 3pm to 6.30pm, caught 1 Barbel 6lb 3oz, 1 Chubb 3lb 14oz and an eel. Once again conditions were hot and the weed pretty heavy, but a very enjoyable afternoon. All fish were caught using a feeder and pellet. Thanks Wye and Usk.

Another hot and sunny day. We started fishing at 3pm, my mate trying trotting in fast water downstream with sweet corn for the very first time - he caught a small barbel about 1 lbs and a roach. We then settled into two shady swims with gullies and deeper water in front. Some barbel action straight away then a lull for several hours. A frantic last couple of hours with barbel coming one after the other with most fish around 7 to 8 1/2 lbs. What a great day!

Very sunny, river low. Roving approach proved to be key.
