We resisted the temptation of the top section and short walk and did the long slog down to the bottom section. Its not a pleasant experience and only do it if you are reasonably fit I would say. That said given the not favorable conditions it fished okay.
The Barbel were all nice fish, a 5lb, 2 x 6lb, 2 x 7lb and the best a lovely 9lb 3oz, and my personal Wye PB. The Chub were nearly all good fish as well, most of them ranging from 2-4lb with a couple nudging 5lb

River was very low and it was cold. We fished from 11am to 6pm and caught two trout both around 10 inches.

The water is the rivers was still a bit of the high side but with the season coming to an end this week would be the last chance to have a chuck for the brown trout so decided to go.

Parked in the middle of the beat and fished up to where the beat becomes single bank. Not much was moving despite there being some fly life but managed three grayling, one being a very nice 20 inches.

We moved and parked down by the church where dad managed a trout but as soon as the sun disappeared behind the hills the temperature plummeted so it was back to the car and home.

That’ll be it for us for the trout season, hopefully if the weather holds some trips out for grayling might be on the cards before the clocks go back.

very changeable day. started of wet and cold, brightened up then heavy cloud cover, warmed up mid-afternoon hoping for a hatch, but alas lazy so and sos didn't cooperate. gentle breeze mainly from the east, so blowing upstream for a change. Still managed to move a fair number of fish, lost 2 and had 4 to the net. All on a variant of a sedge/caddis pattern - size 16 and 18 - all dries. no luck at all nymphing.
