Two trouts on klinkhamer, river getting low on summer levels , lovely stretch

River was rising slowly so felt confident. No weed or debris issue however the fishing was hard. Managed 3 chub from 9 different swims. Lovely stretch as always and well trimmed banks makes access easy.

Fished swims that have produced barbel in the past but they were not feeding. Lovely day all the same though.

4 fished, rived conditions perfect, probably should have had a few more, still a good first day on a great beat.

9 Barbel, 16 Chub

A couple of hours only having driven up. The river was still coloured from recent rain and the flow was good. Nothing looking up but I managed a couple of small fish with a gold beaded nymph under a dry and one on a black headed nymph on its own. A bit of bug life, not much hatching but one or two mayflies towards evening. Looks fairly promising if it stays dry-ish. I’m staying at the Seven Stars in Aberedw by the way, which I recommend!

Lovely opening day on a slowly rising river. Lots of chub on the standard feeder rigs but the barbel were not interested.

Great to be back on the River Wye again, arrived very early with high expectations, the river was coloured and rising slightly, tried meat and boilie through fishmeal & pellet ground bait feeder or a straight lead, however the fishing proved very hard on a very shallow beat and a real struggle to get a bite, however despite moving @ six times perseverance shined and finally hooked into a nice chub of @ 4.5lb … anything was better than a blank, unfortunately the Barbel had other idea's!
Bankside access was good with grass cut recently, care was needed in places as the ground was soft under foot and treacherous in places from the previous two days rain showers.
Canoe traffic was non-existent but the few that did pass were very courteous.
Thanks WUF and the land owner for great access to a beautiful river with all the nature that comes with it.
Called it a day at mid-day and sped home to spend father’s day with the family.

Lovely stretch of river with plenty of access to the water. Seemed to be a lot of snags in the middle section but we managed a few fish in between losing tackle. Other was an eel, nice to see the are still some about.

Fish was very slow untill later on in the day, about hour before dusk. Had one decent size chub about 3lb then a very small one. Was much better last year fishing the same methods and swims, but that's fishing.

A lovely 3lb chub and a small but beautiful 1lb carp, both on ledgered meat. Water temp 13 deg C.
Beautiful fishery, great wildlife, but don't expect seclusion at the weekend, it's very popular with the public. The number of poorly controlled dogs (20+) we saw chasing sheep and harassing ground nesting birds was concerning.
