5am start again and first barbel caught at 5.10am. 5 barbel in total caught in morning session. Came back at 5pm and and had 1 more barbel and 1 eel. Left early for the long drive home. Another great day on the Wye.

Nil return but several salmon showing.

Very hot and humid day fished pellet with feeder. 2 fish in 10 hours.

The only take, caught on spinner.

Fished 2 days (15th and 16th). 10 fish in all, 5 chub to over 3lb and 5 barbel to 8lb. The fishing was hard as it was very hot and most fish were taken late in day from Island Pool on pellet and groundbait feeder. 3 chub were taken from an open swim at the start of the beat in faster water. There is a lot of water you cannot get to but for our first time on the Wye we had a great time and will be back to fish another beat soon.

5 Barbel, 5 Chub

Very poor days fishing by two very experienced anglers.
Very disappointing.

Both on dry grey dusters. Very slow day though. Fish rising but not taking the fly.

1 small trout caught early using ledger/worm. No one else was catching on the same side of the reservoir, however opposite (road side) we could see plenty of fish being caught! Our luck wasn't in unfortunately.

Low river - swim feeder and 20 inch hooklink - 10mm source boilies and tuna and chilli boilies. Lost count of chub - catching immediately on drop - couldn't even sit down! Pity we were fishing for barbel!

6 Barbel, 40 Chub

A very pleasant day despite the sweltering heat. The beat was very easy to find and well maintained although the high banks were a bit challenging.
I had one good 4lb plus chub on pellet, a smaller one on meat and a little pike on a lure.
