No fish spinning, few caught on worm by lads up top end.

Fly. Nil catch. saw a few fish.

Nil catch. Started early and saw fish in Maddox about 3/4 way down and Vanstone just off old groin. Canoeists started at 8.30 and then in procession from 11.30 onwards and made fishing virtually impossible so gave up at 12.30. Good work by Mick the ghillie in making it a more pleasant place to fish with good access.

River was clear but looked great. I had barbel up to 9lb 1oz which was one of the best looking barbel I've ever caught. All fish apart from one barbel were caught between 9.00am and 6.00pm. Ledgered boilies and pellet.

1st days fishing on the Wye this season and it was crazy. Had the pleasure of meeting Colin who looks after the beat and what a nice and knowledgeable chap he is. Barbel to 8.02, chub to 4.14. Thank you all at wuf.

4 Barbel, 40 Chub

Cool, overcast and very windy conditions. Many fish spawning at the West end of the lake. Total of 8 Wild Carp and 2 Chub caught on corn float fished in the East end margins.

2 Chub, 8 Other

All on dry fly, a small rise and later fall, of mayfly which didn't interest the trout. Water was very low and strong winds didn't help. Two were sizeable, 13" and 11" and the others 8-9" - all returned. Not many pools to fish from and some lost through fallen trees.

A challenging day, due to the clear, low water conditions. Several chub (generally in lean and poor condition) caught during the day. After 6pm the barbel started to show interest, and caught 2 and lost one up to 9pm. The best was a well fed beauty of 8lb 14oz. Due to the clear water the barbel are bronze and dark this year, like a throw back to the good old day's on the Avon and Stour.

2 Barbel, 7 Chub

Another great session on this beat. Pellet feeder tactics doing the damage again.
