1 Barbel, 9 Chub

Fish caught before lunch on nymphs before the sun got up after which point I broke off for the afternoon. Water temp was OK. Returned in the evening hoping for dry fly action but hardly any risers. Enjoyable day I'd definitely fish it again despite the dodgy wading!

4 anglers for an evening, hot day new ti the location, found it difficult locating the water the google maps on the site wasn't working and the water was not well maintained it was difficult to know if this was a fishery or not.

Once we started fishing we managed 3 eels between us

See redbank entry for access details. As usual exit onto the main road is highly dangerous so lucky there were 2 anglers so one could get out on the road to assist.
Once we got to the car park pete decided to fish the famous pool near the pylons at the downstream end - very comfortable fishing off the beach in the low water. He had 2 good chub early on pellet feeeder.
Charlie who likes a short walk positioned himself on the first croy d/s of the car park and fished the float with meat corn and bread to have a very enjoyable day for 10 chub to 4lb plus - the largest on flake.
Stopped fishing at 2 - a bit hot so missed barbel time later on.
Lovelty to see lots of strteramer weed especially at the upstream boundary. But wye and usk - the access track issue does need addressing.

Another fun day on the Dee, mainly small fish although both grayling worth getting the net wet. No doubt that the rising water temperature and bright sunlight making fishing conditions tough..........can't wait for the arrival of autumn weather, maybe a little more water in the river and milder temps.

So much fishing on this ticket, the beat maps are excellent in explaining parking and access.
