Dry fly. Several takes, no fish landed

This beat has always produced some of the best fishing I’ve ever had on the wye , but today was a different story. The Wye , Severn and Teme are surprisingly low for this time of year , which always brings a challenge .
Very hot today but kept at it , lots of bites on the feeder rod but only a few good takes , which one of I lost . This stretch is fantastic for trotting and has given me many great days on the float here . Only managed two nice chub on the float but a valiant scrap form both . Barbel came at dusk , a long wait for the whiskers , but happy to have one in the net .
Although not a blank a very challenging day indeed , still love this place , always a pleasure being here .

We struggled all day on our favourite stretch. River was low but we fished the faster water in the near side gully. Not so much as a knock all day until, literally, last knocking when one barbel was caught as I was about to pull the rod out for the day. My good mate had a disaster with his rod by snapping off the top six inches which put him out of action for half the day. We will be back to try again in a couple of weeks.

Lots of salmon parr falling to small nymphs. Best of the fish were the grayling, again caught on weighted nymphs. A good day on a great beat.

River low but overhead conditions perfect. Few fish rising through the day and all taken on the dry. Nothing big.
