Extremely hot day which made for a beautiful day on the river but a difficult time fishing. 2 small trout caught on nymph. Waited for an evening rise/spinner fall but it did not happen.

Very bright day. Began fishing 2pm. Very little sign of fish. One 8" brown caught & returned. Upstream dry flies or nymphs.

1 rainbow trout caught on worm. Also 6 perch. Seemed to beat the trout to the bait.

A short, shallow stretch with the two pools the only areas worth targeting in the low water conditions. Accessibility is good and there is a pub at the head of the stretch (nice) but it acts as a lunchtime stopover for many canoeists so if canoeists put you off your fishing don't book this stretch.
Could only find one barbel but lost count of the chub up to 4lb.
I prefer other stretches to this but would fish it again in higher water.

1 Barbel, 20 Chub

Caught nothing on fly, only small fry on spinners. A nice days fishing though, it was just too hot I think.

My first fishing visit with a friend who has fished this stretch before. I will definately return after a very good days fishing in a beutiful setting. River was coloured and the weather was very hot and sunny. We had 7 barbel all weighing between 7-8lb and I had a PB Chub around the 4lb mark. Fished ledger rig with pellet.

7 Barbel, 1 Chub

Salmon around 13lbs lost on small Mepps on HDAA water at Hereford. River temp now too high at 66 deg F.

8 trout taken between 5 and 8 inches, all returned safely. Fished early and late in the day. All fish caught on nymphs. Some rising fish at times which I attempted to catch to no avail. Had to coax a stranded sheep from under a steep bank back to safety of it's field. Thanks to the WUF employee who helped me out in this situation.
