Chub still abundant, but barbel still hard to find in their usual spots.

5 Barbel, 42 Chub

Really hard. No signs of bites until 7 o'clock and they was small chub. Sudden warm weather has knocked the fishing off I think. Searched the full stretch but it was a lovely day to be out. Only barbel seen was one floating down river struggling.
Fishing Passport Note: The distressed barbel could have been as a result of poor C&R technique or had just succumbed to the warm water temperatures and low oxygen levels. Either way, we ask that all anglers ensure fish are allowed to recover fully (either being held in the water or in a landing net) before being returned to the river.

Hot and sunny. I thought I might try to fish where the Usk river enters the reservoir. A bad move. Lots of hot walking over rough ground and very little access to the water with the reservoir looking quite full at the top end.
