Great days fishing. Non stop action.

Started off on right hand bank in the reeds swim fishing approx half way. Feeder & 8mm pellet. Had a barbel first cast and then Chub every cast after averaging around 3lb and biggest going 4 and a half.

Moved at 11:30 to left bank last swim (just at end of fast water) again chub a chuck and also had 4 barbel, mainly 4lb ish with a bigger one of 6lb.

Well worth a visit, good parking close to river and swims well made compared to most of the wye.

River fairly low probably needs a few more inches of water to to improve the fishing. Struggled all morning despite trying everything including dries, spiders and nymphs. Moved up to the faster water at the top part of the bottom section and managed to take four grayling and a little salmon parr. One of the grayling just short of 2lb a really nice fish.

2nd visit we arrived at 8am and fished until 1530. We fished by the big Oak tree at the end.Fished single 20mm boilie against the far trees and had 6 common carp all low doubles biggest being 13lb. On way back to the van to leave the very first shallow pool had loads of carp in churning the clay everywhere.
The only lake on earth where you don't have to fish next to loads of people. U have entire lake to yourself , total bliss.

The river was in good nick after recent rains. Another very pleasant if not abundant day on this familiar beat. Brought a mate along who was looking to land his first ever barbel and I thought this would be a banker. He didn't bank his barbel but he did have a good day full of Chub and a very healthy looking Eel.
There were countless salmon leaps throughout the afternoon and not small fish, which was pleasing to witness. Also it was encouraging to find among the familiar rocky snags a number of retrieves brought in some healthy looking weed which has been noticeable by its absence on the Wye.
