Was on the evening ticket and all taken on small dries.

Frustrating day just below Bibbins bridge, opposite the beach. Struggled to find a swim that was accessible and would accommodate 2 of us. Plagued by eels. Didn't seem to matter what we put on the hook, it produced eels. My son caught one very small barbel.

Some activity in the ferry pool. Takes were exceptionally quick with a long line out and down so several fish missed. More adventurous wading and a shorter line, perhaps high sticking, would have produced more fish.

First time on this stretch of the Wye. No fish caught.
Group of teenagers on Lilo's and later canoes floating through the beat from the bridge to the area near the
fishing hut.

3 Anglers fished ! Lowest i have ever seen the river on this venue. Finally, Barbel turned up towards dusk 2x 9lb + very welcome on a tough day. Please be aware swimers and BQ's on the shingle beach. Nice to see a wild Boar in the top field.

Two trout to the net, one below a pound in weight the other above. Missed another 3 risers and spooked another two.

Only had the evening to cover the Edwardsville curve. It was sunny and the water levels were low so the fish were in the back deep pools on the foam lines with seemingly slow surface flow.

The fish responded well to a size 18 caddis/olive klinkhmmer 6x tippet with some time to inspect it before rising to it.

Lots of kingfishers, greywagtails and dippers with caddis swarms above the water and black stoneflies dancing.
