A couple of hours before dark , hardly a knock then just as I was starting to pack up the rod went off a Barbel of about 4lb had taken a fancy to a 14mm spicy sausage pellet.

Cracking day despite the low river levels , had to rove about to find the barbel

Difficult day with the river so low and clear, all fish caught on the float.

Low clear water (17 degrees C) and bright sun: a few fish seen but they weren't feeding and certainly spotted me first!

Conditions seemed perfect, over cast and still but nobody told the fish. Foul hooked two trout on a nymph which I would think qualifies as trawling rather than fishing. Zero hatches or surface activity. Perhaps the evening was more productive

Beautiful beat

Fished the top end on the beach. Low and clear tough day.

Conditions not too bad given the recent weather but the lack of water made for a tough day with two blanks. Did manage to winkle out one barbel just under 6lb on a soaked elips dumbell. The insistence on breakfast in the White Lion rather than an early start didn't aid catching chances but these trips aren't just about the fishing. A great three days on the Wye....
