3 anglers fished on rising river. One chub and one dace caught - hard!

1 Chub, 1 Other

11 x trout 10-15 inches, spiders, Waterhen Bloa, Hare's Lug and Plover, Dark Moorgame. Three good fish, plus some juniors. A sunny morning with the river at a nice spring level, but starting to rain and the wind getting up later in the day. I didn't get to use the dry fly rod although there was a large dark olive hatch at about 2.30 - very few rises.

Arrived late (as I didn't start early), started fishing by 11 :30 am. Fished the swims on the bottom half of the beat, deeper water. 1st bite and Barbel (6lbs 7ozs) at 1pm. No further action until last hour when the Chub suddenly turned on and five were caught on maggot feeder. 2nd Barbel right on last knockings (6lbs 8ozs) set me up for the long drive home. Another lovely day on the wonderful River Wye

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

I expected a bit more water in the river and a bit more colour. A very quite day with a strong cold wind absolutely no action until very last knockings when had two chub on consecutive casts.

Great days fishing at White House. My favourite beat.
3 caught on hemp and caster the rest boilies and pellets.
We all caught from the top end of the fishery. River was up by about a foot with a good colour.
Temp was 7.6.
We all stayed at The Falcon House B&B How Caple which we can’t recommend enough.

7 Barbel, 1 Chub

A cool blustery one when I tackled up this morning at the bridge over the Hindwell Brook , running clear and at a really nice height , looked promising , but doesn't every river on the first few days of the season !!!!!

Tackled up my trustee six foot two weight , and a couple of gold head nymphs to work in the clear water , the pools looked fabulous and ahhhhhhhhhhh so nice to be back !

Was five degrees and still a persistent breeze after storm Freya , dam nuisance these regular storms . . . . . Aaarrrggghhhh!!!! Was a while before I had any interest , and I'm not really surprised , water was very very cold , and still a bit early to catch brownies on these Radnorshire streams . Was still great to start the season of though . . .A feisty take and a scrappy little brownie on the end , spot on !!!! . Eight inches and looking great , wished him well and slipped him back int the icey cold water , needs another month before the fish start showing in numbers .

Initially headed for the Pinsley this morning , but with the amount of barbed wire about , and the fact that clearing is getting done , I sacked it as a bad idea , work in progress , maybe it'll look clearer in a couple of months , shall leave this one and head further down and onto two very local brooks when I don't fancy a half hour drive !!

A fun few hours , glad I headed over to the Hindwell , good move , running at a nice height spot on and a brownie as well well that's the season kicked off , now let's see some more pleasant weather like last week . . . . Pleeeeeeeeeease !!!!
