A cracking six hours , guiding James upstream,on a very low, but clear Ithon.....
I gotta say, he applied himself well, taking on board all the fundamentals of the dry fly presentation, and, selecting likely holding water, should a rise not be present !!! The boy did good .......
Eight brownies to the net, with a few that I feel should have been worthy of being in the net also, with the hard work, and persistence James put in to the day ....He loved the whole small streams thing !! Some clients i know just don't get it .... You can tell by the lack of excited delirium at the end of the day . Physical exercise and fly fishing for some, go hand in hand, whilst for others, its like garlic to a vampire !!! Lol .....
Fish were the usual stamp for here, eight to ten inches, but feisty, and furious when hooked ...We started at half ten, and got out by the top galvanised gate at half four....A great day, and i must say, always nice seeing an angler so enthusiastic about these smaller streams .....Right, my work here is done .....Time to crack open a cold can of Inchs Cider ....Cheers Folks !!!!

Weather conditions hot. Found some early sport up to 12.00 which produced 2 Barbel, best of the pair 8lb. 8 Chub followed all a good 3-4lb and 6 eels all came to touch line luncheon meat. Pub lunch followed at Inn on the Wye. Back for afternoon and evening session which resulted in nothing more caught. 4 swims tried. Barbel not moving out of the more oxygenated water yet. This is possibly due to later than normal spawning at a guess. River levels seemed normal. Barbel just not moving about yet. Nothing on the usual types of dumbells.

2 Barbel, 8 Chub, 6 Other

Only fished from 10.30-15.00 due to other commitments. Hot and sunny, tried a few different swims and some interest when fishing to the snags on far bank but no fish in the net. Nice beat and will return for a proper session

Nice day out - beat shared with Ian and we fished early afternoon until dusk. Hatches of large green duns, yellow mays, blue winged olives and the odd mayfly. Intermittent rises throughout the day but fish were willing to come up for small olive cdc patterns which accounted for all my fish. Good evening rise but only right at the death from 9.30pm onwards. Best fish approx. 2lb.
