Saw a few fish but couldn’t tempt them

No return

Six weeks ago I was catching much bigger fish but only 5 over 10", and the rest down towards 6" - all caught on S16 Adams Para. I reflected on how much this beat has changed over the years I have fished it. This year the beat has benefitted from some clearing of bank side trees and some fallen trunks, and it will remain a favourite.

This was the 3rd visit to Craig Llyn, previous 2 trips blanked.
The owner Sean and his friend Simon asked me to join them yesterday for a days fishing. What a fantastic experience. They were incredibly helpful, for those that know Simon, will know that he is a reserved type of person. But once he opens up, his knowledge sorted me out. Both of their knowledge was invaluable. After being with them for just 15 minutes I caught my first fish. Thanks for your patience boys. I would recommend anyone spends an hour or a day with Sean the owner or both to improve your fishing. The day with them both was invaluable. Many thanks. Regards Nigel

No fish seen or caught - we desperately need rain of course

We did not fish the last two beats. There is a fence which blocked our passage and I did not feel like wading across at that point. It was most enjoyable nonetheless.

Wyebank is quite clearly a boot camp for Wye Barbel juniors...for whatever reason they flourish in large numbers here and there are a few seniors in the mix too. No doubt most who have fished here and hooked into one of these pocket rockets have been surprised at the small size of the fish which in terms of fight scrap way above their modest weight!! We caught quite a few and may have bagged more but one rod spent what seemed about half a day trying to land a 6 pounder on float gear....On a less upbeat note though we caught hardly any small chub or dace which is very surprising for here....perhaps the Barblets have muscled them out...
