Blanked, where there was enough water to fish your rig would be covered in silkweed within a minute. Not fishable at the moment

I should of researched a little better, this was my first visit to the Wye and was hoping for a glimpse of a Wye barbel, I booked lower symonds yat, absolutely stunning place, but not a barbel stretch in these low/slow/hot conditions, never took a rod out the van in three days of looking
I will be back, booking and access info was great, I’ll chose more wisely next time

Popped down on the evening and tbh it was more to try and sight the Swifts and Swallows down here of which there used to be lots of .
Saw half a dozen or so Swifts and a few Swallows, hopefully there where plenty more over the hill. Fantastic little creatures.
River was just about fishable still in the runs for a dry and water temp 15/16c but not surprisingly nothing doing at all with fly or fish so just enjoyed the peace and quiet and the Swifts. The Kingfisher was busy still too.
Good numbers of tiny olive nymphs on the stones where ever there was decent flow , but of course thats a diminishing resource these days!
Rocks where very gungy in the slack water but not particularly slimy so hopefully that all means the water quality is ok still.
Digits crossed.

Fished on the evening ticket and just for the last couple of hours as the sun dipped low on the Beacons.
Water temp 19c so just about doable but nothing moving at all , no spinner at all late on or sedge and even the quarry pool didnt have its usual sippers . Tough times eh.
The water was quite fishable in the runs still and the wading was fine , no slime/algae and the river bed looking fine still where there was moving water.
The very considerate farmer there has now erected a stile at the entrance gate by the road and covered the barbed wire with sacking . Always used to be a bit of a wobble here !Splendid chap!
Also, he has taken the barb wire of the gates within the fields.
A nil return but always a real pleasure to be here.
