30 Barbel, 7 Chub

Difficult in full sun and temperatures. Late hatch but few or little rising. One salmon par returned and a WBT to 1 1/2lb taken; one of 2lbs + missed. Sporadic feeding frenzy in Heirag of a dozen fish +, but failed miserably to 'match the hatch'.

After Dinas and Abercynrig the night before, my brother and I turned our attention to Penpont further upstream. Another warm evening and difficult conditions. I fished above the bridge and brought two nice trout to hand from the top gutters whilst my brother fished downstream and had no luck whatsoever. This river needs rain.

We only managed half a day today having fished the day before. 3 more Barbel all fell to double hair rigged sweet corn and another very large eel on the meat.

River was again beautiful although we suffered a little all morning with cut weed making its way down the river where someone was clearing weed up stream.

All the fish caught on both days we hard fighting and In pristine condition, a couple of lost fish and one even broke a size 12 hook in half!

Arrived at about 5am on my first visit ever on the wye, met Glynn who was very knowledgable and I took his advice as to which swim to fish. After a very hot and productive day catching on luncheon meat and pellets ended the day in the evening with a total of 5 chub & 11 barbel. Well worth A visit,will be back again.
