river getting low now no salmon seen need some rain to get the river up

First time on this beat, fished second swim in the woods, the walk was challenging. Chub were in profusion, not really giving the barbel a chance, but a fantastic days fishing. Chub between 2lb 8oz and 4lb 12oz, barbel 5lb to 7lb 13oz

4 Barbel, 51 Chub

Courtfield (woods) was fishing quite tough today, water was low and not much flow - I tried to locate some of the deeper water and used the classic feeder - pellet technique. The chub came early morning at around 5am then not a bite until a lovely 7.10lb barbel at 15:30. Cracking day in lovely location!

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

River starting to show its bones on this warm and windy day. Forecast was 6mph sw but felt three times that. All grayling were in the 6" - 8" bracket and took a size 14 klinkhammer as well as a size 18 ptn. Did manage to hook a brownie but it ended up as a long release.
The bank vegetation is head high in places so you need to carefully consider your position before casting.
Still, it was a good day out considering I booked the beat at 10:30 on the day.
Many thanks to the Wye and Usk.
