First time here and it has some interesting pegs, can't understand the greater premium this beat carries in price but hey ho....One of the wooded pegs was a snag~fest best avoided. Got absolutely chubbed out and so starting using baits and rigs to try and avoid them in order to catch the barbel.
As always it's great trying somewhere new.

20 Chub, 1 Other

Started fishing around 10.30am, not much happened for the first 2 hours then C had his 1st ever 10lb barbel, weighing in at 10.12, having fished the Wye and Seven several times a year for over 30 years he was well pleased, even bought the first beer. C had one more, i had 6 to 8lb and 4 chub all in fantastic condition, we fished the wooded section using pellet and corn.

8 Barbel, 4 Chub

4 Barbel, 39 Chub

Very hot day, the chub seem to be holding their own at the moment. Lost a massive eel at the bank.

River very low

Gave the Arrow at Kington a bash this afternoon , been a long week of shifts , up at four , and hot hot weather , so nice to skulk up the lovely Arrow , searching for rising fish !!! Was about four when I parked up at the bridge , reading 25 degrees in my truck and bright sun , maybe tricky , but still nice to be out . . . Some rises so nice to see , and as usual the feisty Arrow brownies obliged to a small Para Greenwells , splashy rises , great fun as always here . . . .

Fish were the usual colours of the Arrow fish , lovely red spots too . . . Gorgeous , cheers up your day that's for sure , and sizes ranged from six to ten inches , a nice wind down yo be honest . . .

Seems a favoured spot of buzzards , as last year had a close encounter with a young bird keeping cool near the river , well again they were local to the river , except this time youngsters flapping in the trees above , three I think I saw , and the adults giving them a real telling off !!!!!!! Still great fun yo watch for a while . . . .

Well a fun relaxing two and a half hours , six crackers to hand , which I was pleased about in the bright hot conditions . Water levels in the Arrow getting low again , could almost do with a good nights rain again . . . . . Nice couple of hours , back soon , happy days !!!!!
