The river was high and access was not to easy as much of the back was overgrown. Access to the very top was not easy and anyone with poor mobility may struggle. If the river was lower we may have found it easier to wade

4 Rainbow trout and 1 perch caught on the worm, using a 3 and half foot trace and a short cast from the bank.The weather was overcast all day with a ripple on the water. Another enjoyable day.

Water looked a bit peaty when I arrived, and strong flow. Started fishing about 2pm, with nymphs, mostly downstream and across. By 5.30pm I had caught three small fish. The water was slowly fining down and levels falling. Time for a bit of pork pie. Between 6 and 8.30 I caught 4 more, including one of about 3¼lbs which I was very peased with. Very satisfying day.

1 pretty WBT for JD saved a blank. Otherwise not even a nibble for either of us. Fished PM until 9pm, only a few rises that weren't repeated. Water fresh and clear, little bit of a shower later on. Some bugs about.

Upon arrival the river had risen a further foot overnight and it was not possible to reach the top of the island swims, so we fished from swims further back. Two barbel 6lb & 7lb were landed and a third good fish slipped the hook at the net after two powerful runs. 30 chub were caught several over 4lb and a couple just shy of 5lb. All fish fell to luncheon meat, pellets not proving effective. During the our time on the bank the river dropped 6-8 inches.

The river was roughly 0.51m on the Ross on wye gauge and had a good flow. I hunted around for the barbel but couldn’t get into them. My usual spots weren’t producing like they normally do. The river was dropping after a few days of rain but it still had lots of colour. The chub were up to 6lb. Lots being in the 3lb range. A mix of rolling meat and fishing with a feeder landed me the majority of the fish.

Great fishing spot, lots to see. We spent a day of good fishing, and used a method feeder with halibut ground bait and pepperami as line bait which really effective.

Blanks unfortunately - few fish lost but nothing landed
