A bright sunny day on a low river were always going to make this tough. Fished afternoon into evening and caught on both feeder and float.

River was very low, a lot of weed showing. Managed to winkle out a small barbel in the shallow water half way down the beat.

River very low, tough going. Directions to the beat could be clearer. Wording says 'Proceed through gate bearing left and go through another two gates". Would be better to say 'go through the first gate and then go through the next gate immediately on the left...'

Fishing was really difficult due to the hot weather and very low water levels as indicated by the returns.
We would like to thank the Wye and Usk foundation also many many thanks to the owners of Woodmans Parry Cottage for such a lovely welcomed stay and the advice from Mr Powell about the fishing area layouts we would certainly like to try the area around Brecon again. Thank you once again.

A slow start tried three different swims. A couple of little taps but nothing. Rested and pre baited in the afternoon as I was the only person fishing. Started fishing again at 5pm then the rain came by 6 pm it was heavy and then turned into a monsoon. It wasn't a wash out it was a rain out. Couldn't fish the evening session which I really thought would be the prime time. Sat in my car until 7pm and then drove home in the flooded streets and torrential downpour.
Friday the 13th strikes again.

The last day of our 5 day holiday was cut short by a heavy thunderstorm bringing some much welcome rain but making the banks very slippery. Good job we'd both had the foresight to take the rope and spike with us because of the forecast rain. Best barbel was an upper 8 (estimated) with a couple of nice chub of around about 4lb. All were caught using a feeder.
