In all the years we have been fishing the Wye this was the lowest level we can remember it being. We struggled to find any fishable swims at all let alone some where we could fish in a reasonable depth of water. We settled into a couple where we had to make the best of what we had, with a bit of tree management mine would have been half decent but had to cast underarm most of the day so could not reach better spots of the river. The weather was more like an autumnal day, chilly breeze, overcast with heavy showers. John managed to winkle out one chub and that was the only bite between us.

Very hot day with bright sunshine that had more impact on the fisherman than the fish. Caught in short bursts through the day , often going over an hour without a touch then a flurry of bites in succession - all on meat.
Packed up around 5 when the heat became too much

Tough day, the conditions weren't great. The River was falling but still high and it was blowing a gale, tried for a few hours but gave up. Good stretch though, plenty of fishable pegs
