Morning air temperature a barmy 11 degrees, river at 2.2m, thermometer in my mates bag at home. River a lovely colour with viz about a foot and not tanking through as much as we feared. Both started at the bottom, me in the swim that's been most kind to us this year and Steve in another. He got bites from chub steadily through the morning and then 4 barbel through the day and unsurprisingly stayed where he was. I had one bite pulling out of a small chub and tried another 2 swims down the bottom for 3 chub before moving up the top for the last 2 hours. Two 6lb barbel saved my day (Steve's were between 3 and 7) to make it a satisfying day for both of us. GB feeders and a wide selection of hookbaits.

A cold start to the day with a ground frost. All caught on pellet.

A really difficult day on the river bank but enjoyable nevertheless. Need the river to drop 0.5m to be able to fish in any of the usual spots.

Hard day no sign of any barbel. Plenty of chub rattles

Bright sunny day, fish caught within the first two hours and the last two hours,

A lovely day, slightly marred by my dropping my phone in the river while playing a good Chub. Oh well, a lovely Barbel of around 8lb, plus 3 Chub seems like a small price to pay for an enforced digital detox!

What a great day on the Wye. Caught 9 Barbel the biggest was 9lb 10oz and the second biggest was
9lb 7oz. Lost 9 Barbel to under water bank side vegetation. Wye came up by about 30cm in the days session. Caught on pellet and curried luncheon meat.
