Great to be back on this fabulous river once again but it was a really hard day to be honest. We located the 4 swims upstream of the parking area but they just didn't seem right in the conditions

River very low, fish caught all day long to various baits and methods .

Low water and no fish. However, enjoyable day and very well looked after by Jonathan who persuaded me to invest in further tackle and hence visit to sport fish following. Has he shares in business?? Great to be fishing close to home and will be back very shortly.

A two hour session between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. Two fish this time between 1 and 1.5lb, again in the river on a size 12 stick fly.

A little cooler than the previous few days on a river still low . The 3 off us headed for the wood section and struggled to get the barbel to feed. We did manage to winkle out 5 between us with one of us catching 3 of them . Not that this bothered one of our group whose only bite of the day produced a barbel of 10lb 6oz . All fish caught on feeder and pellets or boilies.

Although the river was low and clear there was a little cloud cover, which appeared to have the desired effect! Largest barbel was just under 10lb and largest chub just over 4.5lb - and was smashed up a total of 4 times on 12lb hook link! Started slowly but after that caught fish throughout the day. Everything caught on halibut pellets (wouldn't touch meat or corn), with the barbel being very particular - they wouldn't touch anything other than 2 x 8ml pellets glued to the hair. Anything smaller or larger was refused. Chub would take any size!! Fished the bottom end, just on the back end of the broken water before the bend. Casting has to be very precise as there are large weed beds and a number of snags under the far bank. Another fabulous day on the Wye and great tips from the bailiff. Have already booked my next visit!!
