Started off trotting meat and had a ridiculous number of chub averaging 3-4lb, the biggest of which were easily over the 5lb mark. Switched to feeder tactics for the last few hours taking a few more large chub and several barbel. Had two fish that were pushing towards the 10lb mark. The others were all around 6-7lb. The bites kept coming and in the end we had to force ourselves to leave. Magnificent days fishing.

7 Barbel, 40 Chub

No fish caught.

Just the one barbel today in the blazing heat. Taken from below the woods again fishing to holes in the weed. 5 big chub taken from the same spots.

Lovely to be out for the first day of a new season again. River was the lowest I have seen it. Top field section was very slow flowing almost not moving in places. Bit more pace in the bottom two fields which is where most fish came from. Most of fish came to pellet feeder tactics.

F O A wuf could you please clarify the usage of maggots on the wye. As i thought this was against the rules. I bring this to your attention as someone wrote up in there report that they used maggots "for a change" Thanking you d.s

The river was cold and had come up considerably over night. The beat is definitely not for a bunch of unfit 50 year olds with hangovers!, due to the rain overnight the slope by the cottage was very slippery which gave us a couple of comedy moments!
Despite the weather and the misleading barbel of about 6lb mid morning the chub were very active and each of us took a break with the one light quiver-tip rod we had between us with cheese paste to save the blank. All in all a great day in wonderful surroundings with good friends...roll on next season.

The river was low and clear and had a snaggy bottom as several feeders were lost. The bottom end of the beat is a long walk up and over the woods, the swims looked good but advise travelling light to these pegs so we settled in the first field. Disappointing to find a lot of dog muck around as this seems a popular place for the locals to walk their dogs. Only one chub around 3lb caught on meat in the late afternoon.
