Probably the hottest day of the year so far and not conducive to good fishing but action from a dozen chub up to 4lbs and 3 small barbel. A nice brownie to finish off which took a liking to pellets.

Another great day on the majestic River Wye. Difficult conditions in the afternoon - very hot and the river quite low, but caught a couple of Barbel on Pellet and 4 Chub from different swims.

Fished a short spell late morning, early afternoon but it didn't really get going as it was bright and sunny so we took a few hours off and came back at 5pm and got settled in for the evening.
Bites came as soon as the feeder landed for the first hour and then steady for the rest of the evening. Most fish were very small with one or two going to 6.5lbs. Even so the small ones in the 1.5 to 4lb range were still fighting like crazy. Used medium sized elips pellets today.
Today's wildlife included sparrowhawk, kingfisher, tawny owl and ducklings sat in the landing net.

Despite very bright and clear conditions, floatfished pellet produced better results than previous day.

Lovely beat, with excellent access. Very bright and hot conditions, but still managed to winkle out a few good chub on mini boilies.

Spinning, poor day.

Boiling day. 6 good chub, all between 4-5 and 1 Barbel about 8lb. Big framed fish but pretty 'hollow' from spawning.

2nd day on beat still low and clear but more flow than yesterday. 6 chub between 3lb and 4lb 11oz and 1 barbel 7lb 11oz all on feeder tatics. Farmer strimmed swims in the morning making it a lot easier to get to the river in many places.
WUF Note: These were WUF staff carrying out clearance work on behalf of the owner. Many more swims are now available on this beat.
