Nice days fishing at a beautiful location. Fished at the end of beat 4 but not much action, a couple of bites on the ledger off luncheon meat but nothing really on the float. The lad caught two minnows on his whip so did not blank. Weather was hotter than expected and with the water level below normal likelly that just an off day.

Beautiful day to be beside the river with your mates but fishing wise hard going with bright sunshine & low water conditions. We all enjoyed watching the fledgeling sandmartins flying out of their burrows, doing a quick circuit & scrambling back up the bank face into their nests only to pop out for more practice a few minutes later; The anxious or maybe excited parents flying overhead in great flocks twittering away. Plenty of very busy kingfishers whirring up & down as well.

The 'other' was unusual! We have all heard of wildlife being 'hooked' other than fish that is. Bats whilst casting a fly in the evening, waterbirds when using crust baits, seagulls when sea fishing & even rats whilst leaving an unattended hookbait beside a pond where there's a lot of disguarded baits. But my friend was reeling in what he thought might have been a small barbel , when 2 or 3 feet from the bank up through the water came a squirrel hooked firmly in the upper lip. He said it took some umbridge at being un hooked.

A very de-stressing day followed by a lovely evening as the sun set.

Thanks WUF as usual.

Lowest I’ve seen river four barbel loads of chub quite worrying to see no weed anywhere on the wye thanks to certain people putting whatever in river upstream they say it’s cheaper to pay the fines than have it taken way????????????????????????????????

Only fished till 11.00 am due to needing to get home early. Had a Barbel on first chuck but he snagged me, must have spooked any others in the swim, but managed a couple of decent chub before packing up.

All fish caught on feeder. Barbel were 6 and 7 lbs. All chub between 3 and 6 lbs. Most caught in the morning and evening session with one chub in the afternoon.

Weather in the morning was overcast with a decent enough flow on the water - so good conditions. The sun and kayakers made 11am - 3pm tricky. The sheer volume of kayakers is quite something and along with swimmers, ruled out the island pool all day.

Had a spell trotting in the afternoon with meat and pellets. Very quiet with a few takes but no catches.

Great location. Really beautiful spot. Access was good. Great to see the salmon jumping as well. Definitely will return .
