fished all the swims from waterworks to woods, river looked dead, low and very clear, had a couple of chub rattles and that was all between 2 of us, ist time we have fished this stretch, swims are quite steep but being as it was dry not to bad to access. would be quite tricky in the wet i would think. fished home fishery a few weeks ago opposite bank,and had a very good day, just think fish had switched off, tried all the normal baits, small hooks and small baits nothing worked. We cant remember 2 of us blanking on the Wye before so must have just been conditions, badly in need of some rain.

Blanked!
River very low and clear, water temperature dropped the night before. Bright sunshine all day.

Despite this, just about managed to get down the bank, close enough to the water.

Fished 2oz feeders with boilies, pellets and meat. No real promising bites for either of us!

Nice beat, would have been much better with slightly higher river and more colour.

Only barbel bite of the day, caught on spam at 12.30pm using a ground bait feeder with pellets in.
Fish weighed 5lb 7oz. Had a few other plucks which i assumed to be chub. Generally very slow with the river low and clear.

2 fat eels and one chub all on luncheon meat from a swim halfway along the beat, just past the no fishing area I coming from L Lydbrook. Beautiful still day but I'm afraid my lack of knowledge in this swim, cost me. Could have been a much better day if I'd realised there was sunken boulders directly in front and three lost ledgers and swimfeeders later, I realised it and cast to the left instead.
However, stunning setting and I will fish it much better next time.
