Water levels dropping and becoming clearer. We had to try a number of different swims before finding the fish. We fished with swim feeders and used Luncheon Meat or Spicy Sausage Pellet on the hook.

Water levels dropping and getting clearer. We had to search for the fish and used swim feeders with halibut pellet, luncheon meat or spicy sausage pellets on the hook.

Disappointing day arrived to find the river low and clear. We started in the orchard and during the day worked our way up stream trying different baits pellet, boilles and luncheon meat but to no avail. It's a lovely stretch of water with plenty of wild life to keep you entertained. Three guys fishing the opposite bank arrived and within a short time we're into the barbel we saw them land three and lose one so it showed the fish were feeding but unfortunately not where we were fishing. I'm sure we will be back when the river has more water in it.

Bright sunny day throughout. River was coloured. River was up by about a foot from the day before, although from the water marks on the tree stumps was down about a half foot from the night. Both Rods were fished leger for Barbel. Two were caught 1x 7.13Lb + 1x 6Lb.

A very poor day on the river today. River was on the rise and lots of weed which made for poor fishing. To round it off local canoeist decided to use the stretch for there launching base.
Overall the wife had four Barbel the best pushing 6lb. I myself kept on the move and had a zero catch return.(not heard the last of it)
I must say over the week we fished in many areas between Hereford area and Ross and we had a very pleasurable week catching lots of fish. Also lots of very small Barbel, around the 1/2lb mark which goes to show the river is thriving.

Second successful day as we caught the river at just the right time. Barbel were steady all day interspersed with chub, the biggest 5lb 2ozs. The highlight of the day though was watching a big male otter feeding on, oblivious to our presence.

Cracking day, river fining down a bit after rain 11 barbel to about 8.5lbs chub to 4lb 11ozs plus 1 salmon parr and a bunch of dace which were being chased by what turned out to be a 2lb 8oz perch. Usual swans and one cormorant plus a kingfisher.
