Fished a short evening session to avoid the sunny conditions and heat of the day the river was looking cock on , both fish fell to two 8mm hair rigged pellets lost two more during the session went home happy again having bagged two Barbel . The swim Fished went quite for a while as we watched a decent size Pike looking for her evening meal.

Bites difficult to come by early on but picked up late morning. 6 chubb caught, all around 2Lb and 2 lost at the net.

Evening session started at 17:00. Plenty of insect life with fish rising here and there. Managed five trout to the dry fly until rain stopped play around 20:30.

Dropping to summer level now. Just a couple of hours late afternoon, as rain arrived not long after I did. Very little surface activity. A few rises to a prospected dry, though nothing stuck. Cattle in river.

Lovely place but clearly hit by water quality. Just began to get it right towards the end. Large numbers of eels seen leaping in the shallows. Others were eels

One angler only fished , late evening only. Sultry warm evening with light showers. Fair number of fish rising to duns, spinners & emergers. All fish caught on iron blue dun.
Rather grumpy Devon type bull in field on approach to the river. On returning to the car in the gloaming he started pawing the ground, kicking dirt and bellowing which certainly had the desired effect of me giving as wide a berth as possible, given that the access gate was within his fenced area. Hoping he will be rather more civil this evening!!

Not a great day for us, but we managed a couple of Chub to finish off our visit to the Wye.
