First session of the season and again confirmation that the endangered eel seems to be present in numbers up the Wye. Four up to 2lbs came to turmeric spiced meat in the first part of the morning.
Tried halibut pellet after the eel action but there was no interest shown.
Back on meat, two six pound barbel came to the net then another, larger one was hooked and played for a couple of minutes until I tangled the rod tip in an overhanging branch. Duh. It looked like Goodnight Nurse but managed to untangle and the barbel was still on. Played him carefully for half a minute then Ping. Fish and hook separated.
Nothing hooked first part of the afternoon despite numerous bumps and torches so called it a day.

2 Barbel, 4 Other

Little surface activity, water very clear after recent rise so levels good.
One on dry fly, 2 on French leader in faster runs.
