Barbel caught from amongst the weed off the concrete. 2 eels one of which was large 3 to 4lb.
Pump going as usual ! Level very low as expected. all fish were rested and swam off strongly.

For The second day on this beat my 13yr old
Son who is fishing mad, fished the wye for the first time, still a lot of weed coming down prevented us from keeping a bait in the water for enough time for a bite!! So a Change of plan was needed, fortunately we had invested in some waders, otherwise I’m sure we wouldn’t have caught, it enabled us to get to some bushes wear we could trott some bread flake and I managed to winkle out 3 chub biggest 3lb 15oz and my lad lost 2 chub! Not a beat I would return to I’m afraid, not many accessible swims at the top
end either. On a plus for you salmon and trout fisherman, plenty of salmon and trout jumping, roll on Thomas Wood tomorrow

First day of two at this stretch , some rain the day before which is obviously much needed, gave me some hope, unfortunately virtually impossible to fish as so much weed coming through, Couldn’t keep a bait on the bottom for more than a minute, very frustrating, so nothing caught

Did not fish - blistering heat during the day and we couldn't stay until evening. Had a great session previous evening so cut our losses and went home early.

Started at 4.30am - no bites! - went back to bed during the unbearable heat of the day. Fished again from late afternoon. First Barbel landed around 8pm. As dusk approached fish came on and we had six more fish in a frantic period before it was too dark to continue. All on ledgered small pellets. May be the very small amount of rain the previous evening had livened them up - 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.0 8.0, 8.5, 8.5lb. Also an eel of about 1lb.
We stayed in the Static Caravan up at the farm a short walk (or drive) away from the river. Spartan but perfect for fishermen looking for somewhere with all facilities required for a comfortable, convenient stay. We will return.
