6 Trout

3 anglers fished. River in semi flood and rising fast. 2 chub caught early on, but no fish as river rose a few feet during day.

2 Chub

two trout caught on worm, and lost two. Temperature was very cold and very strong winds hampered our efforts. Rain/sleet on and off mid morning onwards and that resulted in us packing up much earlier than normal. Water level was high and to be honest it was so cold and windy we did not attempt spinning.

Considering its early season and weather conditions we were pleased with our catch, as the trout were large. For once we were not pestered by the crayfish.

3 anglers fished in atrocious conditions with gale force winds, rain and high coloured river. 1 chub and one barbel caught (early on in day). Fishing hard. Not fun!!

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
