Day two of my three days on this section. Caught my first wading, long trotting barbel on the Wye, what a delightful way of fishing. Caught two more and lots of chub before returning to the feeder and ended the day with 14 barbel and 24 chub.

14 Barbel, 24 Chub

A misty start followed by a warm, still day. River very low and clear. Four browns (10-12 inches) from the deeper faster pools on gold-head GRHE nymph, and one lovely 2lb (18 inch) brown on a dry (CDC Compara). Five fish in total; no grayling. Some big browns seen in shallow runs. A beautiful beat. A morning session.

This was my first try at fly-fishing. The weather was hot and sunny, the river was slow with small rapids and deep holes halfway down from the road bridge. I found a deep hole with a small eddy. From approx 20ft above the eddy I cast my dry fly and within 5 mins I caught my 1st trout followed by 2 more within the hour. I moved lower down the river and took a nice grayling what a great first fly fishing day. I would like to thank the foundation for its prompt and helpful service for me a fantastic day, I will be in touch again.

1 Chub, 1 Other

Very difficult day, river exceptionally low and clear. Fishing downstream was just about impossible so I restricted myself to the top of the beat and even there bank access was difficult. I fished in two shifts. Morning 7am - 11am nothing, then back at 3pm - 9pm where I managed to lose one but catch 2 barbel, 7lb and 9lb and a chub of 3lb. Fish took along time to recover before release and were obviously suffering from low oxygen in the water. The river needs rain and a good flush through.

River condition very good. One negative point lots of canoes this did spoil the day. One barbel lost.
5 Chub caught and released safe. 4 caught on float the biggest of 4.5 pound caught on the swim feeder. We will be back, thank you.
