Aimed to fish a late afternoon and evening session to avoid the worst of the high temperatures.
On arrival it became apparent that the session might be even shorter than planned as the beach peg was home to a number of sunbathers, swimmers and stick chasing dogs.
Eventually the crowds dispersed and we were left with maybe a couple of hours before dark to do some fishing. Despite the disturbance and the low and clear river conditions, the fish were reasonably obliging when we did eventually get to wet a line.

Tough conditions with it being the hottest day of the year and the river being so low. Happy with the one barbel around 5 lb which was safely returned.

Not the best of conditions to say the least and we opted for an early start…A touch of flow helped the cause and we surprisingly bagged 30 Chub in very low water..Does seem to be more restricted here for swim options but still a pleasure to fish.

Wyebank understandably busy with boat traffic but all good natured and courteous to us fishing we are pleased to report… Obviously it was difficult fishing but we managed to catch a couple of small but hard fighting Barbel and enjoyed some shade and slightly cool breeze too…

No fish caught.
Ledgered for barbel during a six hour session. Weather extremely hot and river very slow, to the point of almost static.
Rain badly needed.
Accommodation at Montgomery House was excellent, as was the breakfasts supplied.
