Fished from 9am till 12.30pm ,Finished early as wind and rain came along so retired to the New inn at Newbridge on Wye for a Beer. Oh well every cloud has a silver lining.
Fishing was great fun as you would expect from this beat, I must have mised 6 or 7 takes ,got 4 to the net,3 around 8" and one 12-14" all safely released. 3mm PTN done the trick i found the 3.5mm dragging No droppers to windy for my skill set.

Only fished for three hours mid morning. No bites on meat, pellet or boilie.

Overcast and cooler conditions suggested a better day than we had. Although in our defence an unscheduled trip to Hereford eye casualty did make it a truncated day. Both fish to Ian on boillies over pellets from the same swim the fish came from last week, with the barbel going 7.08 so one happy chappy at least. A beautiful beat but one I am yet to come to terms with!

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Another not welcome catch, tiddler brown trout and angry chub.

Not easy but a better day than expected. Very slow on static baits, majority of fish taken on float fished bread including one of the Barbel , the other Barbel and a few Chub taken on meat. Although most canoeists are polite, considerate individuals, apparently it's my "effing fault" that the odd moron amongst them doesn't know left from right. Apart from that and a few hook pulls a very pleasant day on the river.
