Two fish seen Mill pool and Rock pool. Trout and Grayling returned

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Second visit to this stretch in a month, another very good day, but in many ways a lot different to last visit, no small chub or dace . All the chub caught were large fish between 4 & 6lb and in fantastic condition. Once again the barbel were mostly small between 1lb and 3lb. I think the fact that I am fishing either a big balsa float or a Waggler with 3 or 4 maggots is more suited to catching these smaller barbel. I suspect if you fished a static bait you would catch some of the larger barbel. The other angler on the beat did have larger barbel on the feeder and pellet, But I prefer to fish the float and keep active.
Thank you again WUF

5 grayling all about the 10" mark. Four on an olive spider fished as the top dropper in a team of three. The fifth was after switching to dry fly and came to a grey duster.

Water levels dropping and becoming clearer. We had to try a number of different swims before finding the fish. We fished with swim feeders and used Luncheon Meat or Spicy Sausage Pellet on the hook.

River low with little colour; overcast. Started well with a barbel just shy of 7lb in the afternoon. Went quiet so changed from pellet to meat which produced only an eel. Hoped the barbel would come on later, but they would not oblige and only a chub as darkness fell.

None caught ????

Water still up a little bit but falling slowly during the day. Difficult to find the fish, they seemed to be spread out a little bit. Learnt more about Salmon and the Wye from talking to Don for 30 minutes than I had in the previous 30 years. Great to talk to someone who is both knowledgeable and interesting.
