Very hot day but 9 good fish and very quiet

Absolutely love this stretch of the Wye. It has everything from the fast paced shallows to deep gulleys
River very low and not in the best shape as it’s desperate for a downpour however free lined spam saw me trip up seven barbel biggest only around 6lb but great fun. Four chub also joined the party before the fishing slowed up during the afternoon.
Most kayaks were really accommodating and gave me plenty of space.

Only lacked an actual clown and juggler and I'd have had a full circus around me. Boarders,paddlers,swimmers, treasure divers( I kid you not!!!), dogs , children and pleasure boats made for an adventurous few hours. £45 for the honour!!! my local river ,the Avon Llwydd after years of pollution being halted is now running clear, and teeming with life. After fishing on the Wye my whole life I have never seen such a murky , green pea soup state of a once great river.
On our watch ,I don't know who is wholly to blame or if its a mixture of everything but this must be highlighted and protected....rant over!!

A lot of decent chub from the stretch to over 3lb and 4 barbel eventually in quick success all on the float. Little disappointed in paying as much as we did for then to be ascended on by crowds of swimmers and dog walkers I'd of thought for money it would be off limits to general public.

I feared the worse on a hot sunny day at Caradoc and unsurprisingly was not alone with plenty of other people enjoying the river....The fishing was slower than expected but I was entertained with a swimming race...the participants were not quite Olympic standard but I got a good view of the action as they splashed through my swim a couple of times...There are a considerable amount of small Chub in the stretch and I caught about 20 in the 4 to 12 oz bracket...3 Good Chub rounded off a reasonable day in view I packed up before 7.30pm and fished from 10.00am in scorching conditions.

Gave the Croy section (hut end) a good go with fly and spinner but nothing doing.

No fish seen but couple of good pulls in Poulston and by the hut.
