Tough conditions with it being the hottest day of the year and the river being so low. Happy with the one barbel around 5 lb which was safely returned.

Very hot and bright conditions coupled with a low and clear river made it difficult to catch. An occasional Chub on the float and a surprise mid afternoon barbel on the feeder were all we had to show for our efforts. Packed up early as the call of a cold pint was too hard to resist.

Better day today despite the warming up in temperature. Lost one other barbel and we were pleased with our efforts after yesterday's blank day. We chose the bottom end of the fishery today. 3 chub from the beach section under the shadow of Goodrich castle. Beautiful setting on a wonderful summer's day. Always enjoy the peace and quiet of this fishery. Will be back. Pellets presented with PVA mesh did the trick today.

2 Anglers today but sadly despite our best efforts we were fishless. River low and I guess in need of some much needed rain.
A few knocks during the morning was the best we could do.

Started late morning and left at 4 one chub around 3lb first cast then not another bite in 5hrs,river is very low and clear may have picked up late evening but prior engagement didn’t allow me to stay on.I am booked on tomorrow so hopefully better luck then.

My first trip up the Wye this season. Despite reading zero on the Ross gauge the river looked nice with the better streamier swims still having sufficient water. We fished 7 swims between us and 6 of them only produced 1 5lb Barbel and a solitary chub - swims that normally produce gave up not a bite. The other produced the other 8 Barbel, biggest 8lb, half when it was a bit overcast in the morning and half in big suns in the afternoon. Bomb and pellet was the method. Can't understand the absence of chub.
Thanks to the wonderful Stefan for lending us a landing net as someone other than me for a change left his in the garage. Keep up the great work mate.
