Silk weed wiped us out in the fast water but managed a 6lb barbel and lots of chub in the slacker water.

The river, as we all know is incredibly low but after walking this stretch we found some nice, fast moving swims around three feet deep which looked very fishy. Unfortunately the weed is really bad and every cast returned with green weed all over the bait. Once the sun got a bit higher I walked the full stretch with my Polaroids on and never saw one fish even though I could see the bottom pretty much all the way across. Gave it until around 10.30am and gave up. Pretty place but no fish Unfortunately.

River very low and clear. Fished the fast water just below the narrows. One fish first cast after 2 mins in the water, but it came with an equal weight of silkweed. After that the rod bent 180 after about 5 mins with the masses of silkweed. Gave the float rod an outing with no interest and that was still picking up lots of silkweed.
River needs a good heavy flush through and then to settle down at a steady level in cooler conditions.

Enjoyable day on the beat. Only managed some chub and perch between us, but unsurprising given how low the river was. Beautiful bird life.

Beautiful location and lovely owner who gave us some tips. Water level low, will definitely be back when higher and fish the fast stretch more.
Chub caught in slower upstream section in the morning trotting meat.
Other is a minnow that got stuck in feeder, fish returned safely and I’m counting it ????

No fish caught but spotted some chub, stretch is well maintained and good swim access. will defiantly be coming back.

Tricky day with the river super low, both chub came from the fast water.

Have never seen the Wye so low, in drastic need of rain. If it weren't for this being a long booked multi day trip probably wouldn't have made the trip.

Made it a late start from mid afternoon. Interesting to be able to see the river bottom and what it's like. Few chub and barbel spotted which keen to take loose offerings but would dissappear when a bait went in.

Everything happened in the last hour, with each angler catching a chub and 2 barbel. Also managed a wiggly eel...
