11 lb 4oz barbel and 4lb chub.

1x 4" brown. Caught (and released) on a small CDC emerger.
Plenty of activity - Evening rise started at approx 1700hrs and died off after 1930hrs.
Weather changeable.
Nothing over 6" seen but plenty of activity.
A lovely evening.

Fish rising through the day, with a noticeable increase from around 6pm in evening sunshine. Visible extensive hatches under tree cover. Excellent day despite no catch on any of Klinkhammer, Greenwell's Glory, Olive Upright or Sedge. Extensive beat which needs a full day to do it justice. Wading easier than anticipated but care still needed where river shelves away sharply.

Only two chub between us. Two other rods on Vanstone and Vanstone Pool did catch a few barbel mainly we feel because these were the only two productive pools.

Two rods fished Holme Lacey 3 & Lechmere's ley, Backney, Middle Hill Court and Caradoc between 12 and 14 August. Caught more than 50 barbel up to eight and a half pounds and similar number of chub up to nearly five pounds, plus many dace, despite low and clear river conditions. Fish very localised but willing to feed on meat, corn, bread and pellets when found.
First time on Holme Lacey and Caradoc and found them to be as stunning as the rest of the WUF beats. A wonderful trip but as others are noting, the river is in dire need of more water.

Fished Lower Planks Pool - 1 x salmon (hen) approx 8lbs, and 1 x brown trout about 2lbs.

1 x Salmon approx 8lbs Hen fish and 1 x Brown Trout approx 2lb. Both fish Lower Planks Pool

3 barbel caught to 10lb 9oz and 2 chub to 4lb. Fish caught on pellet and sweetcorn. It was our first visit to the fishery and with the river low we were pleased that we were the only two there. Swims are scarce in low water conditions. A pleasant day in beautiful surroundings.

Water very low, warm bright day. Very few fish moving but we did manage to catch plenty of grayling, a few around 14 in, small brown trout, salmon parr, dace, and chub. Lovely day on the river, only down side we missed dinner at the pub the chef stopped serving at 9pm.

Bright and breezy day. A pretty beat with easy access and relatively simple wading given the low water level. Managed 12 grayling, mostly around the 12 inches mark, with 2 bigger specimens (largest 22"). Also landed 4 wbt, the largest a stunning 12" fish. All fish returned safely. A mixture of downstream spiders and upstream Klnk and dink. Partridge and Orange attracted 15 out of the 16 fish! Really enjoyed this beat as it offers a great variety of fishing along its mile or so course. Wonderful day, thank you WUF for your seamless admin.
