Spent a few hours on this stream. Managed to rise two fish but did not connect.

Being above Hereford you dont seem to get as many canoes on this beautiful stretch of the Wye and this was the case today. The river was low and clear so I scaled down to 7lb flourocarbon hook length size 12 hook and managed just 9 bites but everyone resulted in a fish on the bank. All the barbel were between 6lb to just under 9lb, the chub around 3lb to 4lb range. SB had 2 chub and lost a big fish later in the day.

7 Barbel, 4 Chub

Tried everything! Only one proper bite across the group and angler error let us down there!
Lovely looking stretch, great accomodation at the Courtfield Arms, would love to repeat but with the addition of fish!

Fished many a spot and only found bites in a couple of them. Fish caught were all in tip top condition.

9 Barbel, 7 Chub

Difficult fishing conditions but in a short afternoon trip rewarded with 4 good barbel to 8lb and several chub between 2 and 4lb. Thanks to Tim the banks were all nice and trim but will soon be in need another seeing to. A few rods booked this weekend so try and be there before the canoes get to numerous. Good Luck.

What a treat, fish moving but no contact. Good access, Little Run is hot I expected a pull every cast. Shall definitely return if I can. Margins teeming with fry, hope the Heron doesn't spot them.

Chris Major 18lbs, R.Welsh 10lbs. Both spinning. Total from Redbrook now 16 Cadora Backs 8.

2 Salmon

Fished from 1pm-4:30pm. There was a brisk downstream wind with few flies seen hatching and nothing rising, so I decided to nymph rather than use a dry fly. In total I caught 15 trout, all on the same tungsten bead pheasant tail nymph, which was fished using short line nymphing tactics. One good sized fish of about 14 inches caught just before I left.

15 Trout

Water low and clear. Very few fish rising. Some fly activity mid afternoon otherwise very quiet. Three small fish taken during the afternoon on wet fly (march brown) fishing downstream in wide run towards top of beat.

3 Trout

Water low and clear. No hatches and fish only rising sporadically, mostly in the larger pools. Good sport with 3 or 4 rising to Adams Parachute and a 10" fish on a Klinkhammer.
