Feedback & Reports

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.

1 Trout

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

I went up in afternoon until evening fished the rock pool with not a touch went to Mill pool fished all the way down to near the end and wallop into a fish about 10lb bar of silver , unfortunately after some acrobatics it slipped the hook. So they are there

Nothing for me today

Only one take, on dry fly, later in the evening. Even though no sign of a hatch. No luck with a variety of small nymphs. Pleasant evening though and not a soul in site for most of the evening.

Pellet and grondbait feeder. River level dropping to normal summer level

Evening ticket.
Tried the float for a couple of hours. A bit too much water.
Resorted to the lead for the last couple of hours. Managed two nice barbel to about 5lb.
River fining down and a good colour.
