Tricky day in very low water levels, the huge beds of streamer weed also mean that some swims are almost unfishable. Canoes were a menace as ever on the Wye, had to rescue one canoe after it capsized and drifted off without its inhabitants for which they were very grateful. Despite the tricky conditions a truly wonderful stretch of river to fish and a very enjoyable day.

River was low and clear so bites were hard to come by for most of the day. Managed 5 Barbel between us on meat and boiles casting accross to the gully beneath the trees on the far bank. Biggest fish was about 6llbs.

The shear volume of canoes were a real problem (well over 200) with several capsized and people walking down the river. It was pretty much un fishable for several hours. This can be a prolific beat, but I wouldnt recommend it during the summer months.
