River was low and clear. Weather was hot and sunny. Tough day on this beat. All fish bar one came before 8am. Barbel from 4lbs to 8lbs 12oz.

Clear and hot summer's day, some movement on surface of water but nothing caught. Beautiful stretch of river.

Very difficult conditions, very hot period of weather and low river conditions. Had 4 takes connecting with the one fish which was around 6 inches. Hard to assess due to drought conditions but have done well here in the past. All takes came to a size 16 klinkhammer.

Two of us struggled for a bite on a lovely day in the Wye valley. Tried a couple of spots for over 6 hours with only a solitary chub to show for our efforts.

River was low, a very hot and sunny day. Very few fish rising, was able to tempt 2 wbt on a cream CDC dun in size #14 (from different pools). Both fish around 6 - 8 inches. Spooked several very good sized fish (maybe 1.5lb'ers) on a deep channel glide - I'll be back before the season's out to try my luck again. A favorite spot that has given me blanks, but never failed to deliver on enjoyment of the surroundings and the challenge of fishing it.

Four carp caught. Weed thinner than previous years, so lighter lines possible. Lots of minnows in the margins, upon which the carp were feeding. Lake was spectacular. My favorite wild carp lake.

5 barbel, 1 Chub and 1 Eel on pellet and meat.

Same extreme heat avoiding approach followed as yesterday. Another good day's fishing, with 5 barbel to 9lb 9oz and a 4lb chub. River now in need of some rain. The barbel have still only just about finished spawning - a 7lb fish produced milt on the bank today.
