Fishing for Salmon but none caught or seen, one chub half pound two smaller, local accommodation very good at the Saracens Head. The only disappointment was there were several salmon pools marked on the beat map but only a few accessible due to overgrowth.

Another great day on the Wye. We started in a swim that's been kind before and it started well with good barbel action until they backed off a bit so a longer cast got a couple more until they totally switched off. The army of chub then took over and it was crazy action with bites coming as soon as we touched bottom.
We decided to move and try to find a few more barbel and so upped tackle and went for a completely new area. This paid off with another six barbel and no chub.
Today's wildlife included long tailed tits and a very close encounter with a kingfisher going at full speed being chased by another.

The potato field in full bloom looked nice too.

2 small brown trout taken on a PT nymph. Very little surface activity. Overcast conditions. This is a lovely beat with a lot of variety.
