Not ideal conditions river as conveyed by every feedback form lately river is on its knees and desperately needs rain tried several swims unfortunately another angler fishing opposite bank in faster water swim so not able to fish more oxygenated water,there seems to be a lot of silkweed which makes presentation difficult fished groundbait feeder with meat on the hook for 3chub.

3 Chub

Water very low as I expected. Tried various swims but found them in the end! Biggest barbel was about 7lb. Really enjoyable day thank you

5 Barbel, 1 Chub

A tough session today on one of mh favourites !!! The little Duhonw is like a Lilliputian brook at the moment, clear, mega low and the trout are ultra spooky !!!
I fished half ten till half three ... Ninja stealth mode was fully activated !!! Lots of six inches fish pinballing round the pools ... With lots of eyes on the look out, it only needed one spooked trout to alert the rest in that pool ...
Hard earned fish today . Nothing big and all taken fair and square on tiny dries . There were dome upwings on parade by midday. Hot too, today 22 degrees !!! Hotter into the week too ....
Four brownies were tricked with my offering, and three salmon parr also. Fish all between six and eight inches.
This little stream really needs another six inches on it to be really good fun !! That said, I do love a challenge !!! She was bloody tricky today, so, in fairness was pleased with my result... Time to get back to "The Ponderosa" and a very,very, well deserved, cold can of Inchs Cider is waiting for me ..... happy days !!!!! A lovely day in Paradise ........

Far too many idiots in kayaks ruining the angling unfortunately so gave up and left early unfortunately

1 Chub

First time on the upper Wye and Craig Lyn did not disappoint, river still low and clear but managed to take a few on dry fly from 8:30 to 9:30, after that it was nymphs as the dry fly fishing switched off. Met the owner who was very friendly and knowledgeable on the beat, shame it was at the end of the day, I’m sure his pointers would have been useful earlier! Will definitely be back.
