a 3 hours nymph session gives me a chance to catch 12 nice browns. Beautiful spot. Be carefull when wadding as stones are you slippery.

River very low and more 'chub village' than 'chub city' but the average size and overall condition of the fish notably better than on previous visits. Most of the fish arrived in a 60 minute session in the late afternoon and following a switch from pellet to meat. Best chub easily topped 5 lbs with the majority of fish around the 4 lb mark. The 'other' was an eel which very helpfully de-hooked itself by tying itself into a figure 8 on landing. As per my previous posting, if I hadn't pre-booked this session a long time ago I'm not sure I would have chosen to be fishing the Wye while the river is so clearly short of water.

River very low, slow going in the afternoon with 1 chub and an eel. Last 3 hours a bite a cast. Chub 2-5lb , Barbel 3-6lb. Fished feeder with pellet and hemp. Pellet, meat and cheese paste successful.

Very Windy and low water level.
No fish

Very low, but managed to find two swims at the end of the beat. Impossible to float fish, but had good success on the feeder - despite the number of people swimming in the swim!

Very low water meant that a goods deal of the beat was showing no signs of fish but two deeper pools yielded the only four grayling of the day. Two good size fish and two smaller ones but all in fine condition.

4 Grayling

Absolute waste of time and money.
Barely any water. such small shallow pools no fish could have sustained itself in there.
So packed up and went to High Conniscliffe before lunch.
