River low and brown with algae bloom. Sun in my face from 11am . Hopeless and river in a very sad state. To be fair , the catchment area has not had the rain that other parts of the country have had . It desperately needs rain big time.

Fish taken pretty regular throughout the day from the faster waster, fishing under the rod tip I still had a canoe wipe me out - I was camouflaged so I was hard to spot but clearly they were going to mount the bank anyway.
Apart from that a good day

Fished the middle section as the river was fining down, not a bad return of a couple of 5lb Barbel and a few good chub. Clearly the head of Barbel are in the faster water, give that a go tomorrow

Really enjoyable late afternoon/evening fishing this beat. Tree lined along its length with good access to approx 10 swims cut down to the waters edge. Lots of cover down the nearside margin (where the flow is)with gravel beaches opposite. The fishing getting better as the light faded (as usual) each fish hooked dived for nearside rocks and roots ... great sport. Bait dropper hemp and pellets with pellet and paste on the hook. Would definitely return

Fished same two pegs as yesterday in the faster water. Same tactics with feeder and various hookbaits resulting in some cracking fish. Although we have left it late in life looks as though a trip to the gym is needed as some of the fights were exhausting for both us and the fish! Home for a week of well earned rest before giving the Wye another crack the week following including a further visit to HCC. Good to see Andy again.
