Today was my first trip to the Wye. I didn’t get the barbel I was hoping for but had three cracking chub from the swim just upstream of the island. Before that I had fished for 5 hours without a touch in the boat pool, but after moving down stream I got bites straight away. All the fish were on ground bait feeder with luncheon meat on the hook. Lost more tackle than on any other course fishing trip I have been on! But a good day and I will be back.

River very low and clear, tried towards the bottom end with various methods, no real sign of fish until 7:30pm. Had to leave at 8pm. Cheque book and pen for me.

River low and gin clear barbel bites hard to come by in the feeder so trotted for chub in the swim above the island.... what an afternoon.... beautiful conditions, catching chub on the float!
