Hard going with heavy boat traffic throughout the day and 30mph winds blowing down the river didn’t help!

1 Barbel, 6 Chub

Fished between 11am and 5:30pm. 1 Barbel, 7 Chub and 1 Eel. All fish caught touch legering and rolling meat. Two additional Barbel managed to slip the hook. First time fishing the River Wye.

Despite a cooler overcast day, hard going. River low and clear. All fished the beach area in the first half of the day, few spots to run a float through and have a paddle. All the chub caught here and notable nimber of swims on the opposite bank. nterestingly there's some half decent ranunculus growth on the cleanest gravel at the upstream part of the bridge. Down stream was a lot of smothered stones in algae looking very unhealthy. A few idiots in canoes, and some selfish dog walkers throwing stones in the river. Tried the croys by the salmon hut where I spotted a few barbel but only an eel. Finally scratched the Caradoc itch to fish the beach, and I think there's better beats so won't plan on a return.

The water level was low, the conditions were overcast. Only saw a single fish move all day. Access to the river is well signposted and cleared but access points are very limited and in places very steep. The banks are very overgrown which makes wading a necessity for casting. Wading is straightforward but there are some very deep sections which cannot be waded which makes back tracking to the nearest cleared bank access necessary. Although I did not catch any fish I will definitely return as it is a beautiful part of the world and a lovely looking river.
