Conditions seemed good but only one small chub to show for a lot of effort. Disappointing

1 Chub

Had a very enjoyable and cold day at Middle hill court fishing with a few good friends fishing was slow with a really nice Chub of 5lb 8oz and Barbel of 6lb 1oz for my friends a blank for myself . The Wye gets into your bones it was stunning yesterday with the last leaves of summer falling, with river still pushing through after the recent floods.

Back on my favourite Wye beat. Forecast said a mild breeze, but I was met by a stiff cold downstream wind. Had intended to nymph fish but the wind put paid to that. Trotted red maggot the alternative. Had 12 o.o.s. trout from various spots, all between 12-18 inches, and in very fine fettle. Eventually found some grayling shoaled up in some deeper water. Managed to land 8, like peas in a pod between 12-13 inches. Lost 2 larger ones at the net. The 1 "other" was a small salmon parr.

On first arrival I scattered a flock of about 20 FEB's. Wildlife highlight was a pair of kites chasing each other over the valley for most of the day.

12 Trout, 8 Grayling, 1 Other

Fished the bottom field barbel came during the morning and chub throughout the day. the river was up a few feet and pacey but the colour was good. lovely day on the Wye as usual.
