Evening session with my lad. No school of course. Caught two nice Barbel nudging 8lb each and a big chub. Feeder fished pellets, river nice colour and up a foot or so. Was hoping to catch more but getting to know this stretch. Wildlife is great here, Mandarin ducks, lovely Egrets wading the far bank, Red Kites and of course George the bull, stunning herd of Longhorns in the field. Met Andy late on who educated me on the beat so I will try again soon. Good pegs, strimmed back but still got that wild feel. Pleasant evening.

River had come up nearly 2 feet from yesterday and made a lot of difference to what we caught, all fish caught on pellet.

A hard day river looked good but didn't fish, barbel and chub on pellet, the others were eels. Well prepared stretch with good access.

A good days fishing on a good beat. 12 barbel, 7 Chub & 2 Dace. This is one of our favorite beats but swans are a curse here as they love to dig up blanket weed that constantly wraps around the line making fishing very difficult. When the swans have a rest the fish seem to oblige. One Salmon angler and guide on the other bank waded out to within 20 feet of me and then said I wont be here long. What happened to the half way rule? or does that only apply to course anglers?

Perfect weather conditions cloudy and not too hot, we fished with cage feeders and fishmeal pellets hair rigged or banded, either method worked just as well. Biggest barbel around 7lb and biggest club around 3lb.
The knotted ropes which have been installed to aid getting up and down the banks were a godsend for two ageing anglers

This is a very nice part of the wye set in beautiful part of country side.

The day was very windy, flow of the river fast. We all fished on the inside. It was nice too see new ropes on the banks especially for M H. The fishing was a bit harder here but still had a few, M H, 14 chub again all on pellets as for S G 1 barbel and 5 chub. S M, 2 barbel, 1 chub. The barbel here are in excellent condition, a 9lb barbel fights like a steam train. We well be back.

Forgot to mention at Fownhope we saw two otters, one with a good size chub in its mouth. Good for us fisherman to see that.
