Hot again and floating weed a bit of a problem but enjoyable fishing. Fish would probably have fed later in the evening if we could have stayed later.

Overcast day with little rain, river very slow and clear.
We both tried pellet, paste, sweetcorn, meat and still unable to get many bite. All chub were caught on the float and were under 1 pound.

River was very low and clear, had to keep changing to keep bites coming , altering baits, hook-length etc. My mate worked really hard for his fish. Majority of fish fell to pellt, either feeder or float fished. Stretch is very short and with these conditions, not many swims.

Very hot and humid day fished pellet with feeder. 2 fish in 10 hours.

Fished 2 days (15th and 16th). 10 fish in all, 5 chub to over 3lb and 5 barbel to 8lb. The fishing was hard as it was very hot and most fish were taken late in day from Island Pool on pellet and groundbait feeder. 3 chub were taken from an open swim at the start of the beat in faster water. There is a lot of water you cannot get to but for our first time on the Wye we had a great time and will be back to fish another beat soon.

Low river - swim feeder and 20 inch hooklink - 10mm source boilies and tuna and chilli boilies. Lost count of chub - catching immediately on drop - couldn't even sit down! Pity we were fishing for barbel!

A very pleasant day despite the sweltering heat. The beat was very easy to find and well maintained although the high banks were a bit challenging.
I had one good 4lb plus chub on pellet, a smaller one on meat and a little pike on a lure.
