Lovely days fishing sitting in the rain most of the day
All fish on pellet. Fished in the woods, slippery walk back.

A very wet evening on the banks of the Wye! We travelled down from Yorkshire today and got to the beat about 5pm. After what can only be described as an interesting walk/slide down to the peg we quickly took cover under our brollies.
M had 7 barbel and 2 chub and despite Dman fishing the same swim with the same tactics he couldn't get a proper bite. Very odd but a good laugh and a memorable evening as always!

River quite low and clear but rained all day which probably explained the lack of canoes! A lovely place to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery in spite of the rain. A short stretch of river but enough for 2 anglers to share. Had 3 nice chub up to just under 4lb from the deeper pool at the bottom of the fishery on the left bank, and 3 chub averaging 2-3lb and a small barbel of 4lb from mid-river half way along the right bank as dusk fell. Fish came to a mixture of pellet, luncheon meat or boilie fished on a straight lead.

Not our day. No fish landed unfortunately. River looked really good. Don't know what we did wrong but guess that's fishing sometimes. Spotted 2 otters along the stretch and a pair of kingfishers.
Saw plenty of Salmon jumping.

Difficult day on a low,clear river. Couple of days too early probably after rain on saturday. Never fails to impress though. Thankyou WUF.

2 fish caught near Doldowlod caravan park. Water turning colour after a morning of heavy rain. By evening the river was un-fishable. I did (with W&UF authorisation) an invertebrate sample. The river is almost devoid of life, I found a few stoneflies, segmented worms, a few small cased caddis, no up-winged flies of any kind. A really poor sample.

No action today and do you know what?... It really didn't matter, just being here it's just a privilege to on the bank of this glorious river thank you WUF.

A pleasant few hours on a lovely stretch of water. There was little surface activity so fished with nymphs and spiders. Most of the fish came from the faster water towards the heads of the pools.
