so i joined the many others on an annual pilgrimage to the lucky stones - had some great sessions in the past - so was hopeful despite the low water. Fantastic morning - trotted a stick for a few hours picking up a dozen chub and a few dace - before switching to the feeder and bagging 3 decent barbel 6,7 and something close to 9. the fishing gods then decided i was having way too good a time - so was swiftly followed by two lost fish (just wrapped me round something solid) - four lost feeders in four chucks and a string of snapped hooklinks. i think it was just the pace of the water and the amount of weed that picked up in the afternoon - dragging the feeder across the rocky bottom. with nothing heavier than a 90g feeder in my box i switched back to the float for a few more chub - before heading back over the hill...great morning..frustrating afternoon.

River quite low and lots of green weed on the bottom.

Great session to end my summer campaign up here….or is it?! Immediate action which then stopped just as quickly. Then they came back on the feed later. River was slightly up and weather was cooler initially but warmed up going into the evening , perfect conditions tbh. Shame to leave when they’re going like that but rules is rules. Only one set of canoes came through at the start of session

Beat very weedy, like alot of the wye at the moment.
But fishable. Lots of access to river.
As others have said, I was a little concerned about the bull in the field.
Especially returning to to the car when the cattle had moved close to the river bank.
I had to walk way into the field to keep my distance.
For that reason j won't be booking on this beat again.
Shame really.
