Fished below the steps from 3pm to 6.30pm, caught 1 Barbel 6lb 3oz, 1 Chubb 3lb 14oz and an eel. Once again conditions were hot and the weed pretty heavy, but a very enjoyable afternoon. All fish were caught using a feeder and pellet. Thanks Wye and Usk.

Another hot and sunny day. We started fishing at 3pm, my mate trying trotting in fast water downstream with sweet corn for the very first time - he caught a small barbel about 1 lbs and a roach. We then settled into two shady swims with gullies and deeper water in front. Some barbel action straight away then a lull for several hours. A frantic last couple of hours with barbel coming one after the other with most fish around 7 to 8 1/2 lbs. What a great day!

Very sunny, river low. Roving approach proved to be key.

Lovely days fishing, all fish caught on the French leader bar one trout caught on drys.

Chose this venue as I knew I could wade out and float fish. Had 10 chub from 1-3 lb but no barbel, great fun on the float though, alternating sweet corn and pellet, it's also much easier to do with the canoes coming through and had some good banter with all of them. Finished in the lower pool on the feeder for 3 barbel, 2 around 2 lb a 1 around 4, no problem with any going back.

Beautiful spot. Fished the bottom croy in Thomas Wood and enjoyed my day in the shade. The only place with a bit of flow and always looked likely but not a touch.

Very hot and very low, first time on the beat. Lots of dog walkers, several dived in to where we were fishing. Walked to bottom of the beat and couldn't find any areas fishable due to streamer weed but another beat I would revisit. 1 barbel, several small chub and dace.
