Tough day, can't even blame an excess of canoes, to be fair. Not a flicker on the lead and pellets in the morning - on both the lower and upper sections of the fishery. A few small chub on trotted luncheon meat on the bottom stretch in the afternoon.
I had the whole fishery to myself and did note a distinct lack of bookings for this fishery at the moment on the passport website. I can't help feeling that perhaps others know something I don't!

All fish returned in professional manner. Method used was open sliding cage feeder and long hook link. River condition was at a low level but good flow through the centre.

Very low water levels so difficult fishing conditions. A little bit disappointed with the stretch as no swims cut so access was difficult .

Great start to our week on the River Wye, started in mid afternoon after driving down from Yorkshire,no bites in bright sunshine but as soon as the sun went off the water the fish started to feed ,all fish on pellet with the biggest just over 8 lbs

Ledgered luncheon meat.
Barbel 6lbs.2ozs. Chub to 3lb. 12ozs.
Lots of canoes from 11.00 to 3.00, then much quieter. All very considerate.

I have fished a few times here but this was by far the lowest water experienced....but a short morning session produced some good fishing on the float and the very welcome return of a large shoal of Dace....plenty of 6-12 oz Chub too and 4 bigger ones made for steady action until they spooked...There seem to be increasing numbers of Goosanders on the river which could be contributing to the Dace demise so it was a real pleasure to catch quite a few of a decent size for a change...

Plenty of good Chub here with the best being a 5lb 8oz fish in very healthy condition which will probably grow bigger....A 6 pounder has always evaded us...2 Rods fished and action was steady all day but no Barbel again which is a feature of the low water if you fish in our experience during the daylight hours here.....Boat traffic was fairly light too which was surprising in view it was a glorious late summer day...Maybe the novelty of the lockdown regatta canoe/kayak trips down the Wye experience is starting to subside? On a positive note it was a pleasure to land the odd Chub with some weed over it's nose...that has not happened for a couple of years...Great beat and always seems to produce consistently despite the pressure.
