Tough day on the Wye today and blankety blank for me. Tried lots of methods, baits and covered all accessible swims which are fairly limited, but didn't get a single bite all day. As it was quite pacey, suspect the fish were in the few slacks but sadly no way of actually fishing them.

2 fat eels and one chub all on luncheon meat from a swim halfway along the beat, just past the no fishing area I coming from L Lydbrook. Beautiful still day but I'm afraid my lack of knowledge in this swim, cost me. Could have been a much better day if I'd realised there was sunken boulders directly in front and three lost ledgers and swimfeeders later, I realised it and cast to the left instead.
However, stunning setting and I will fish it much better next time.

Both barbel came in the afternoon on Krill boilies. First one was a superb fish of 10lb 5oz, the second in the 6/7lb bracket. Prior to that I had lots of chub pulls but only two larger fish took the bait on the hair and the hook. I suspect with a shortened hair I could have had a chub a chuck.
Conditions very mild. little breeze and the river at a good height and colour.

River was at a steady height, running clear. Barbel at 11lb was a highlight.
