Another very hot day, it was always going to be difficult.
Fished feeders and boilies for barbel, only managed three small chub and an eel between two anglers.

Lovely stretch of water, have fished previously. Weather was 28*c and clear blue sky. Very tough going. Saw 2 fish rising all day. Will return though as its such a nice beat, worth spending time there.

Hot sunny day, caught all fish on meat and pellet ledgering, river level normal

1 Barbel, 45 Chub

After struggling in the intense heat of the previous day the Wyebank shade was appreciated. An after lunch start was not ideal and the fishing was slow at first with a few missed bites and a chub and an eel but that all changed a few hours in when something more substantial bent the rod over. An arm aching 10 or so minutes later the barbel I made the trip over from Ireland for lay in the landing net. 9lb 4oz of majestic power, carefully weighed, photoed and recovered left one very happy angler.
So happy I won't go on about the "good access."

River conditions looked perfect but the heat was unbearable. We stuck it out thinking it would improve as we went into the evening but it was still 28 degrees at 8.00pm. We had to concede and live with the fact that we have probably just returned the lowest catch report ever for 3 anglers on this beat!!!

Twas hot when i arrived at the Hundred House bridge pull in ....Lovely casting the gossamer six foot two weight rod, after quite a few bouncing days on Nantymoch snd Claerwen Reservoir, with sublime numbers of Bibio Pomonae in abundance ....Huge numbers caught for my clients...Happy faces to be honest .... Although, strangely, yesterday was a tough day .... still brought fish to the net but much slower than previous days on the Bibio ......
Today was a fab four hours ... strewth it's strong sun today... 31 degrees on my truck wen I got back, for a well earnt diet coke....
Lovely dry fly sport today.... the usual.summer jungle here, but I love it to be honest lots of catapult casts , casting on my knees etc etc.... great savage takes ...Nothing huge, the usual stamp for here, and first time in a while, I didn't see a mink either .....I did however see thr kingfisher five or six times up and down , superb to see.
Seventeen or eighteen to my net ... great sport, and a hectic few hours ....ohhh before I forget ..Jungle Formula repellent, was well and truly needed here, lots of horse flies about !!! Anyway, back to The Ponderosa, a none client day, so this callsign may take a bimble into Rhayader and indulge in a cold pint of Thatchers Haze .....Be rude not to hey !!!! Lol .......
