6 Barbel

5 x trout 6-8 inches, Rusty Klinkhammer. A quick early morning trip up the channel with water very low and fish remarkably spooky - mostly on the pool tails. I missed or spooked a lot, but it was good to be out after a week indoors

River low with some colour, barbel in great condition. Three eels landed which is great to see them in the river and even funnier on the end of my mates line!!!

Tough going with low water and the annoying down stream wind has returned.
I only fished half the beat up to the train station where I called it a day after losing my fly to a tree.
3 Trout 6,8 and 10 inches 1 on a nymph and 2 to a soft hackle dry.
Still a few Mayfly hatching.

The river was very low, but had a tinge of colour. There was not much weed growth compared with previous years.
I was catching barbel on float-fished pellet until a succession of canoists, dogs, wild swimmers and family swimmers invaded my swim and my fishing was finished for the day by 11am. Paying as much as we do for fishing, this is very disappointing. I realise it is one of the perils of fishing the Wye in summer, but that doesn't make it any less irritating.

Started in the faster water below the bridge, which produced 2 average size barbel and a chub. Due to canoes and selfish idiots swimming right through the deeper glides (and right through the swims we were fishing!), it was necessary to move at midday and find some deeper, quieter swims. This produced a corking 8lb 4oz barbel in the early evening. All fish in perfect condition, and fighting well.

Not one bite! Was there from 5pm till 9pm. 3 Cray fish mind????

Fair day with reasonable hatch and fish rising in one or two locations. Dry fishing hampered by downstream wind and only managed to rise a couple of fish on CDC olives. Caught a WBT on PTN which was returned unharmed.
