Another hot and sunny day with low water level. Tried to find some deeper water. Most fish came towards the end of the session at dusk, a frantic last hour!

Second day on the beat and tried out both bridge Gutter & Spring Pool Gutter. Both produced fish on Czech nymphing as the previous day. Even though another hot day fish were in the mood and had three trout dance off the hook. Again another surprise was a 3/4lb Chub on a black nymph and took me on a merry dance down stream. A big bold and beautiful fish. Another interesting day on this beat. Will be back.

After two difficult days on the Wye we finally found some fish.
This beat was very difficult, water very low and clear and zero flow but we found a lovely stretch in the top wood with a small gravel beach where there was a decent amount of flow running down a gully on the far bank.

2 barbel of around 6-7lbs and 3 nice size chub between us.

Low & hot

It was extremely hot so I decided to go for an early start and was at the river for 04:45. Although low it was in beautiful condition; clear with no algae blooms. It was not easy fishing but I found some rising fish under the trees on the far bank in the top half of the beat, just below the island. Most ignored my first attempts but I eventually landed 2 lovely fish of about a 1lb and a 1.5lb on a size 16 Parachute Adams. The second fish was absolutely stunning and put up a great fight. Both fish returned and off the river by 0900.
