Only 2 weeks ago this little river was alive with Mayfly. With their departure it has become surprisingly quiet; very few hatching insects and hence few rising fish. What fishing could be done was sight fished with upstream nymphs.

First time on this beat for me and it really is a picture. I fished mainly the bottom end and picked up fish throughout the day finishing with 6 barbel up to about 8.5lb and 10 chub to 3.5lb all caught on either halibut or Robin Red pellets making for a great start to the season. Now a word about exiting the field! It is iffy but I found if you get as close to the road as possible and wind your window down you can hear the approach of any car to your right because you certainly can't see them get out quick and park up a few yds to the left and then shut the gate. Thanks once again W.U.F for another lovely day on the best river in the country.

6 Barbel, 10 Chub

No fish caught in 12hrs not even a bite. Plenty of ducks but no fish.

Fishing difficult on a low clear river but what a wonderful stretch with everything you need fast gravel runs deep sections and deep gulleys under trees. Tried touch legering and feeder fishing on both upper and lower sections but only a couple of Barbel to show late afternoon. Day was very hot and bright which did not help but still really enjoyable. My fellow angler had a kingfisher land on his rod tip which made his day. Lower section is very snaggy so lost and couple of feeders. Thanks again to WU for a wonderful stretch.

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

Typical Wye chub early on a pleasant day by river, then uninterrupted by any further action. Lowish water, bright conditions and beat confines with limited and occupied hotspots made for a disappointing day. Large number of salmon moving all day long didn't help!

1 Chub

struggled to locate chub in the short time was there. 3 chublets, 3 dace and a clonker between 6-7lbs, a proper fish. Fought very hard, caught on luncheon meat.

4 Chub, 3 Other
