very slow day, I didn't see a barbel or chub roll all day. I moved 4 times, but only caught a few eels! had to leave at 7pm to head home, so missed the usual evening activity if there was any :/

I haven't seen any bite or even fish presence for the whole day long. I've tried the whole legal methods of fishing. No success. gone back home empty handed.

4 barbel caught throughout the day with a nice small fish of around 2 1/2 to 3lb mark. Again the water colour was odd for the Wye, watery gravy. Which seemed to affect the chub numbers, well of larger chub. 20 small chublettes on corn caught, few inches in size.

Top beat very accessible and easy wading yielding 3 small fish all to Soft Hackle and Iron Blue Parachute dry fly. The parking point indicated on the bottom beat map is in effect a passing point for traffic on this single lane and not suitable for parking to go fishing. There is a better parking area on a grass verge opposite the graveyard at The Old Chapel at SN 91819 74536. The bottom half of this beat is definitely commando country for the more agile angler. The clear low water conditions lead to easily spooked fish and a zero return for this half of the trip. Beautiful setting.

Thanks , parking noted WUF

A very hard day on a stretch we normally do well on. Water was a strange brown colour and something was not quite right. Since read other similar reports.
