Change of plan - didnt fish today.

Tough day. Particularly after a good day on middle hill court.
But that's fishing.
There are a few more swims opened up since our last visit. But weirdly one of the best barbel swims has been left to become completely overgrown and inaccessible . Think it needed more water on .

6 Chub

Did not fish water temp >20 oC

6 Trout

2 chub and 2 eels on meat. Perfect conditions but nobody had told the fish!

2 Chub, 2 Other

Very hot! Most fish early morning on meat. The other was an eel. As ever, a beautifully kept venue. Thank you Stefan.

Beautiful day walking the river. Saw one or two little ones pop up but nothing more to report . No bites and no catches and no sightings. Tried various methods of dries and nymphs.

Weather - Hot, initially light cloud then sunny.
Water - Clear but shallow.
Population - a lot of swimmers (human thingies) upstream of the bridge and 2 snorkelling downstream beyond the exposed rocks.
Duration - 15:30 to 18:30
Location - 3 tried between 100 and 250 yards downstream of Green Bridge (South Bank)
Float fished worm trotting. Depth circa 2 to 4 feet depending on tactics.

One exceptional hit just at 14:30, just at the point of retrieving at the end of the trot. Definitely hooked (barbless size 12) but corkscrewed out of the water and dislodged the hook.

Guesstimating well over 12” long and perhaps nudging 2lb. Colour indicated Brown Trout. ????

Hope to try again tomorrow evening but a bit even later than previous afternoons.

Again we were really struggling to find fishable swims. Just about every swim was completely overgrown and unusable.

9 Chub

Fished a short session from 5pm for a few hours. Chub around 4 Ib feeder with robin red hook bait. Barbel were good Wye fish both around 7 to 8 Ib went back strongly both fell to 14mm halibut pellets with cage feeder. Fish taken from mid river. River was low but had some colour.

Nice fishery several swims fishable despite river level being low at the moment.
