Lovely day, good weather today and decent access from right bank , left one not so much.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Cold foggy morning but had fish straight away in the woods, bites soon dried up so a move downstream into the field section eventually found some fish again. Bites pretty hard to come by. Caught on bread, corn and meat. Had a surprise late on as a good double figure pike leapt clear of the water right in front of me - will bring pike gear next time!

6 Chub, 3 Other

Fished the entire length of the beat without a bite. Finally located fish at the top end in deeper, slower water. Water levels are still low although flow has improved in the last month

3 Barbel, 4, 6 and 9.5 Ibs in that order.

This report is for 2 anglers CT and AW.

A heavy overnight frost and ice to clean off the windscreen again before we set off putting doubts in my mind as it did last week - even though we had a good day last week after the frost the night before.
Unfortunately It was not to be the same this week - no Barbel showed all day, and it was hard going but we still managed to catch.

CT - 4 Chub - biggest weighed in at 4lb 15oz - this is this biggest Wyebank Chub caught all season!

AW - 2 Chub

River in fine condition after recent rain and fish were feeding most of the day. Fished the 1st swim upstream from the wooded section using meat - caught 1 decent chub and 3 barbel (7 to 8 lb) but lost another 4 due to a snag about a 3rd the way across that they seemed to aim for. A good but frustrating and expensive day!

The banks were very slippery following overnight rain which limited swim choice. Fortunately the Barbel were in a feeding mood and 7 good sized fish were caught all on pellet.

A good day. Water was low and pretty clear. Sunny periods and warm. Quite a bit of slimy green algae. But none the less my colleague ( there were two of us) hooked 10 grayling either 6 to hand, and I managed 6 with four to hand. 3 or 4 decent fish of around 12 inches and all beautifully marked. Good to see the WUF staff checking out the weir.
