All caught in the faster water on feeder tactics. Had some issues with fishermen on the other side but phoned Wye and Usk straight away, the farmer came down and moved them on, apparently they have paid £800 to fish their beat and for what it’s worth their half is shallow this time of year. Very hot today and water levels low.

Persistent rain/drizzle all day. Found a swim where you could get a landing net down to waters edge, half way along. Tried anything/everything I had but couldn't buy a bite. Swims were well manicured and easy to access.

Fished 4-8pm in the faster deeper section. x3 chub on float with luncheon meat and x1 chub on ledger with cheese, all around 3- 4lb. River at normal level with some rain showers.

Enough good looking swims with decent flow etc. we tried six different swims but a tough day.

Sunny intervals, coolish, a nice breeze and a 19 degree water temperature.
Slightly hampered on swim selection as there were 3 guys on the the opposite syndicate stretch casting across with two rods each. What I view to be the two most likely at this time of year were free but we also tried 3 new swims but with no bites. One barbel from each swim, one came midday (5lb) and the other one (6lb) 5 seconds after having counted down from 10 on the last cast of the day with my last PVA bag! That would have been my first Wye blank before December so a relief and reward for pushing to the end. A lovely peaceful beat but hard today.
