Started fishing around 10.30am, not much happened for the first 2 hours then C had his 1st ever 10lb barbel, weighing in at 10.12, having fished the Wye and Seven several times a year for over 30 years he was well pleased, even bought the first beer. C had one more, i had 6 to 8lb and 4 chub all in fantastic condition, we fished the wooded section using pellet and corn.

8 Barbel, 4 Chub

Very hot day, the chub seem to be holding their own at the moment. Lost a massive eel at the bank.

River very low

Gave the Arrow at Kington a bash this afternoon , been a long week of shifts , up at four , and hot hot weather , so nice to skulk up the lovely Arrow , searching for rising fish !!! Was about four when I parked up at the bridge , reading 25 degrees in my truck and bright sun , maybe tricky , but still nice to be out . . . Some rises so nice to see , and as usual the feisty Arrow brownies obliged to a small Para Greenwells , splashy rises , great fun as always here . . . .

Fish were the usual colours of the Arrow fish , lovely red spots too . . . Gorgeous , cheers up your day that's for sure , and sizes ranged from six to ten inches , a nice wind down yo be honest . . .

Seems a favoured spot of buzzards , as last year had a close encounter with a young bird keeping cool near the river , well again they were local to the river , except this time youngsters flapping in the trees above , three I think I saw , and the adults giving them a real telling off !!!!!!! Still great fun yo watch for a while . . . .

Well a fun relaxing two and a half hours , six crackers to hand , which I was pleased about in the bright hot conditions . Water levels in the Arrow getting low again , could almost do with a good nights rain again . . . . . Nice couple of hours , back soon , happy days !!!!!

What a contrast to Strangford yesterday. Struggled on the coloured river. Small chub to stick and corn. 1 big eel to feeder. Angler on far bank had 2 barbel- he was on the bank early. We didn’t start until 9.30 and packed up at 2 .30 for the long journey home. Some of the middle swims looked nice so maybe worth another go. Hot bright conditions didn’t help.

Started fishing at 1:00pm and fished the whole beat finishing around 6:00pm. Caught 12 plus WBT from 5 and 10 inches, all plump and well fed. All to a size 14 Para Adams. Many more rose and missed.
Weather warm and sunny, river getting lower but in good condition.
