A tough day at the office for us today as the water levels were up quite a lot. However, we managed a couple of our targeted fish along with lots of small stuff off the steps.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

River was high and coloured (1.7m at the river level monitoring station) with lots of weed and logs being washed downstream.
Difficult conditions but I managed a 7.5lb barbel on the second cast. A massive fight in the strong flow.

Arrived just after the morning rain had stopped to find the river a bit low but with plenty of flow, as usual here. I started with a bite after five minutes and hooked but lost a small barbel and thought I was going to have a typical Wyebank day with several small fish and the odd larger one. However, there was no more action until late afternoon, when I hooked and lost three chub in the weeds. The day was not going well, but I landed the next chub, a lovely fish weighing a whisker under 5lbs. As evening drew on I at last had a barbel, of about 5lbs, followed by another good chub, a bit smaller than the first. Meat was the preferred bait today.

Bit of a tough one really.......bright sunshine and a low and clear river. Only one Barbel banked and one lost. There is only really one viable swim on this beat and it didn’t seem to contain many fish today. Canoes were few but around 9,000 swans decided to sit in front of us. We fished for a couple of hours and sensibly retreated.

The water was very low and we didn't see any fish moving along the whole beat. Needless to say that we blanked. Sorry to say, but I think that this beat should have a 'too low' policy as well as a 'wash off' policy unless I am missing something.

7 barbel largest 8.4 the others were on the small side ranging from 2lbs to 4lbs both chub were decent around the 3.5/4lb mark. groundbait feeder with double 8 mil pellets worked

please note anybody booking this stretch take note the banks are very rocky and steep and are not for the faint hearted!

This report and the one before it is for 2 anglers CT and AW.
Worst day of the season here at Wyebank - The canoe traffic was horrendous today - non stop and plenty of swimmers also. The canoe traffic did not calm down until well gone 16.00hrs
It was so bad today you could not keep a rod in the water properly for any length of time.

On top of the fished from 10.30 to 19.15 - CT had the only one barbel take all day and the fish bumped off in weed.
Blanked
