Very slow day though the river looked good

2 Chub

Tough day. Low and clear overnight frost and clear blue skies was always going to be a struggle. Tried numerous swims one chub about 2lb each on meat. Couldn’t even get bites on maggot

Other 2 rods blanked . Couple of diseased salmon seen swimming hopefully have spawned already

Got hit by a dozen canoes at the shepherds hut from the opposite bank within minutes of fishing, which spoiled the peace, returned later to 2 hours good fishing on K&D with a good proportion coming to the Klink, surprising considering the cold conditions. All grayling caught at about 12 inches. Trout off the top too!

Water temperature dropped few degrees. Cold day too. River is running low and clear. Thankfully the chub obliged. Beautiful weather.

A hard frost and an east wind probably wasn't the ideal conditions. So a Nil return. But a nice beat with good access and some interesting looking water. Look forward to seeing it in the spring.

After dropping temperatures and 2 overnight frosts at the weekend we thought that this might be a Wye trip too many this year. However it was mild as we left with a light SW wind, and the level down to 0.45. It was a little clear but not alarmingly so. We thought it was a very low chance of barbel but we should be good for a chub or two.
We started at the top end but after 2 and a half hours neither of us had had a bite using various hookbaits so moved.
This worked and the afternoon session produced 7 chub each (11 of which were over 3lb) and a lovely 9.06 barbel for S.M. My biggest chub was a big pb of 5.14 so well chuffed! He fished gb feeder and meat. I fished a maggot and hemp feeder. A great November day's fishing. Thank you WUF ;o)
The only very slight blight was 2 canoeists moaning like mad at anglers thinking they own the river! Smile and wave boys, smile and wave....
