Lost count of Chub caught, both on feeder and trotting. Water level very low but Chub fed all day. Most around 2lb some 3 and one 4lb. Spotted one small barbel but none caught.

25 Chub

Late afternoon/evening session exploring the middle to top end of the beat (shallower sections). Free-lining tactics. Conditions mostly too sunny perhaps but clouded over with a spot of rain in the evening. Fish between 1 and 3lb. River looked in ok condition given all the recent doom and gloom, plenty of streamer weed and abundant wildlife

Found a couple of spots that the barbel seemed to hold in. Lovely beat but the top half needs some attention and the swims from last year are now not accessible.

Cracking start to the day with breakfast at the Green Man in Fownhope. After parking up we realised it wasn't possible to walk down the edge of the field, but the farmer had created a tractor path through the wheat straight to the river.
It was a cloudy but warm day and the river looked in good condition. We walked downstream to the croys. For Chris it was his first time fishing the Wye and first cast his rod hooped round and a 3lb chub graced his new landing net/pole.
We fished probably 11-6 and finished with 7 chub to 4lb, all on garlic meat, no sign of any barbel though.
A great, lightly fished, beat with easy access and a slightly longer walk which was easier going back having caught some fish. Thanks to WUF and the land owner for giving access to waters like this.
