Pleasant day, river high and coloured, just a single Chub caught close in on meat.

My alarm at waking up to snow on Saturday morning proved to be justified. The river temp was 5.8 having been 10 degrees only 2 weeks previous. So this coupled with the overnight frost trumped the nice looking flow and colour in the river and we really struggled. Fished the bottom 2 slacks and 4 swims further up with GB and maggot feeders with all manner of hookbaits to no avail. Both chub fell to JC on straight lead and meat from swims with nothing fed. The cold rain scared us off before 1600. One last go next week.....

Terrible conditions on arrival. Heavy snow was still falling. Banks slippery and very muddy. Went home in thermal long Johns. 1 barbel caught on Sonu spicy sausage. Chub caught on glm hot fish boiled.
2 anglers fished.

Arrived early in heavy rain and waited in car for half hour till rain eased. Started in the bottom pool with no success. Moved upstream and managed one small whisker late afternoon, poor return for the effort expended on our favourite beat. Hoping for better when we return before the season ends, assuming Andy has put the fish back in!!

Day 2 of our sesh on the Wye. Fishing a bit slower today, but the Barbel put in an appearance! Meat and paste again did the job. Mobile approach. Just fished the bottom section from the middle car park

Cracking days fishing. River well down but fast - 3oz not holding even in crease. Chub throughout the day on meat and Cheese Paste. Best 5lb10oz.
Banks very slippery and some pegs best avoided - take great care. Long handle landing net required.
Stayed at Annexe in Hole in the wall for 2 nights - highly recommended. Good food in Ross at No.3 and Avellino.
