Went back to the same swim i fished on Sunday, absolutely solid with fish,couldn't get through to the barbel because of the chub.

3 Barbel, 71 Chub

Fished just for the evening. With the low water levels at the moment there is only one swim which looks worth fishing so we shared a single rod in that one. Plenty of fish there though and we had bites almost every cast on the feeder. None of the fish were particularly big - the barbel was a baby of about a pound and the best couple of chub were about three and a half.

Overcast day with a massive temperature drop (bordering on chilly) from the weekend, although the water was still warm. Despite the rain flying around over the last few days, very little of it found its way into the river. Still hopes were highish. 2 fished either side of the lucky stone. Whilst not easy, changes through the day kept fish coming, notably switching from a blocked feeder to a very light bomb which turned the plucks into hitable bites. The barbel were 5, 5 & 1lb. The chub from chublets to 3 1/2. I continued my lucky lucky streak with all 3 barbel meaning Steve was barbless for the third trip in a row. As it was his birthday the day after I prayed for a barbel for him but despite the subsequent arrival of the Virgin Mary (see photograph) it wasn’t to be. Still a very good day.

Other = perch. Very quiet day with very few bites.

I fished the fast water again and was fairly successful with 4 Barbel and two chub, I only weighed the biggest fish which was 8lb 12oz, again all fish in good condition and needed no recovery time and swam off well. Just a moan about the condition of the swims, the majority are unfishable in low water conditions and surrounded by snags (overgrowing trees) in high water conditions. The fishery owner needs to do something about this, some of the swims are dangerous especially to the less agile fishermen. I always take a rope long enough to reach the water which I feel could help if you fell. We are paying £25 plus a day for the privilege fishing these beats and there needs to some sort of payback ( my local fishing club is £80 a year with the chance of catching 40lb + carp)

Writing for a friend. Very limited choice of swims due to my lack of agility, I had no choice but fish the slower water which I think is reflected my fishing result. If I fish the Wye again it will have to be somewhere more accommodating.
