Annual family Wye trip. Barbel 5 - 8lbs, two came at 8.00 am, two more around 5pm. One chub, surprised not to see more.
Eels. A lengthy period in between when there were taps on the rod tips but few if any serious bites.

Fished B4. Tough going with the current low river conditions, however, managed two barbel and lost another with scaled down feeder tactics and small hookbaits.

River looked good today, normal summer height. Just fished middle of the day caught 4 medium sized chub and three large eels. No barbel showing at all. All caught on luncheon meat feeder or trotted float.

The river levels were good and on arrival for an evening ticket the trout were rising to a mayfly hatch. Walked to the bottom of the beat to commence fishing. Three trout on a dry mayfly pattern. The rain then came and a cold wind seemed to slow thing down. Changed to a PT nymph and when fished in the faster waters with a quick retrieve brought bite after bite. A further three before the heavy rains came. Best fish around 8 inches but others around 4 inches.
Beautiful stretch and good access to the water. Value for money and will be going back.

Favourable conditions although lower level than expected, fish taken on meat with feeder and bread on the float from the wooded section and the field below the woods, unfortunately the Barbel failed to show. Have fond memories of Fownhope but at 74 I think that is my last "Up and over".

Three anglers for the afternoon travelling light. Cardiac hill seems to be getting easier. We were going to fish the Croy but good swims cut in the first field so didn't venture any further. Swims well cut out but recommend taking a rope as steep bank down to decent swims. Fishing was hard though.
