Another great session, feeder with halibut pellets.

A strong downstream wind made casting tricky. Not many fish rising, but they were happy to come up for a small dry fly. All fish caught on olive emerger patterns. Another great day on this lovely stream.

Conditions seemed good but was quite quiet. WBT caught on heavy nymphs in faster water.

Beat 4 in evening. Alternated between pellet and meat. No sign of barbel. Constant chub attention to meat resulted in one small fish. Kingfisher did much better than me!
Several salmon splashing about.

2 small chub water low but all baits failed to attract attention. :(

This is a conservative chub estimate, as we lost count quite early on in the day. There really are a lot of chub in this beat now, with the better ones to be found in the bottom swims. The barbel are a different story - still very hard to track down, but in great condition when you come across them.

Very hot day today , was unsure how the day would pan out . River level lower than expected. Started on the feeder just to see what was out there , no action for the first part of the session. Switched to the float rod for a bit of trotting , and the chub where having it . Great fishing with some lovely fish biggest at 4.5 lb.

At 5pm went back to feeder rod then the barbel joined the party . What a day ! And probably the best I’ve had on the Wye . All fish in mint condition and quite hefty. Even on a hot day the Wye can produce the goods
