Hottest day of the year on a low river. Couple of barbel from the fast water near the island about 11 am and 18 chub throughout the day . Lots seen on the surface near the steps - wish I’d had a loaf.
Ps there is a swim at the top end with steps - good access to the same fast water that’s at the bottom of the foy bridge boundary.

Really hard. No signs of bites until 7 o'clock and they was small chub. Sudden warm weather has knocked the fishing off I think. Searched the full stretch but it was a lovely day to be out. Only barbel seen was one floating down river struggling.
Fishing Passport Note: The distressed barbel could have been as a result of poor C&R technique or had just succumbed to the warm water temperatures and low oxygen levels. Either way, we ask that all anglers ensure fish are allowed to recover fully (either being held in the water or in a landing net) before being returned to the river.

Similar day to yesterday apart from the Barbel not showing, although I missed the witching hour only to be disappointed by the football

First time fishing the Wye and happy to catch a couple Barbel between us up to 7lb. Plenty of sport from Chub throughout the day.

Chub on a feeding frenzy, even taking the bait on the drop with a feeder – had to wait until last knockings for the barbel to show
