Pleasant, if unspectacular days fishing, characterised by anglers walking the banks trying to find some fish. Not a Barbel to be seen, but the Chub obliged for the first couple of hours, before switching off.

What a river.

Fish absolutely everywhere, in places you’d deem too shallow or not fishy at all, but very fussy and spook easy.
It took me about 10 different dry flies to find out what they were eating, and even then some fish were spooking.

I caught and returned 4, countless takes and lost a nice fish of about 1lb in weight right at the bank.

River had good flow. Bite a cast at some times. Lots of 3-4 lb chub and a couple of 4lb barbel. Lovely days fishing, thanks to Wye & Usk Foundation, great service.

I hadn't been here for a couple of seasons and it was barely recognisable. Water was looking fresh and clear after recent thunder storms. Winkled a few out of the faster water with the Tenkara rod and a small kebari. Gave up after a couple of hours as the wind was making it very difficult to control the line.
