Very hot day with bright sunshine that had more impact on the fisherman than the fish. Caught in short bursts through the day , often going over an hour without a touch then a flurry of bites in succession - all on meat.
Packed up around 5 when the heat became too much

1 Barbel, 13 Chub

1 trout on nymph, but river very low, to the point where I believe it will be un-fishable until further rain fills the river up more.

Our usual Over-optimistic sewin season starts here! A few fish have been coming out following recent mini spates but none for us. This beat has plenty of brownies too however so we had some fun with them on dries before the main business in the dark. Nothing suggestive of sewin seen although there was one salmon showing off …. Always good to see. As was the resident otter. Ah well try again!

River level dropping and water clearing. Only need half oz lead to hold bottom, in contrast to yesterday. Fished morning and evening. 3 Chub around 1lb 8oz on boilie all in the last golden hour at sunset. Where have all the Barbel gone?

Another hot day. Didn't start till 9.30am breakfast at Inn on Wye too good to miss as I am on a fishing holiday so stayed on Fishery Until 20.30hrs. Obviously missing a early start meant being patient in the heat but early afternoon into evening was rewarded with 3 Barbel 7lb 2oz, 7lb 4oz and small one of about 1lb. An accumulation 7 Chub followed, best was 4lb 4oz just spawned, others were all in and around 3lb. Got a little greedy if I am honest as thinking late evening Barbel would move in. Tried various haired baits but for me Krill always seems to be best overall. 3 different swims today. All fish came from last choice fabulous swim. Bumped into Adam who was on his rounds so got to say hello. All in all another cracking day with some good fish in an AMAZING setting.

Very early start. Rewarded with 7lb Chub, and 3 other Chub (all over 4lb) before 11 am. 8lb and 5lb Barbel caught between noon and 1pm.
All fish caught on either meat or pellet.
River in superb condition, coloured and fining down. Levels dropped by a good 20 cm during session.
Aside from wading, is there anyway to access the left hand bank?

River was very low and strong downstream wind made casting very difficult. Only managed to rise four fish, and only landed one.

Spawning like it's going out of fashion. Left them to it.
