2 chub 1 barbel . Hard going with the river low and clear

It was recommended by the Foundation that given the rain we were receiving, Caradoc would give me a good chance of a salmon on the Wye. Although I did not catch, there were plenty of salmon showing throughout the day. Fishing effectively for them was another matter. There was a weed cutting exercise going on upstream and I kept getting clogged up with cut weed floating down stream all day. Unfortunately there were swimmers, dogs in the river and even a horse as the day progressed. Had this not been the case, my chances would've been much better.

No shortage of chub interest today. But barbel kept a low profile.

A good day spoilt by a HEAVY thunder storm, early evening.
Fishing in the wood into dark the fish had just began to bite when down came the rain (much needed) and along came the thunder and lightening away went the tackle!
Sad end to another GREAT week on the Wye in difficult condition's.

Session finished early due to a thunder storm. Delighted to say my 7 year old son landed his first Wye Barbel of 4.8lb. Well done, proud of you son. We will be back some day.

No fish caught but one seen jumping twice at the junction of the Maddox & Corner Tree pools maybe 5-6lb, could not tempt it though. Tried various flies, Cascade, Ally's Shrimp, Wille Gunn, to no avail. River was easily wadeable but conditions were far too bright but a very enjoyable day all the same.
Booking process very easy, staff in the office very friendly & helpful.

Both fish returned.

Fishing hard, river low with bright conditions and hundreds of canoeists, they never seem to see you.

Lovely day, even the campers and caravaners along the riverside were friendly and interested. Though the river was low and crystal clear, the recent rain seems to have freshened the trout. Found many willing to have a go at a drab Klink in the runs, and I managed to land 6 from 7 to 11", whilst missing many. Saw no rises though. Only frustration was connecting with and then being broken by a large bruiser - only caught a glimpse as he sped past me downstream, so don't know how big, easily snapped my 3.5 lb line. Had to sit down for 10 minutes after that, you know how it is!
