Nil Return. One fish hooked on a partridge and orange but lost after 10 seconds.

This year's annual jaunt to the Wye proved to be the best yet. On arrival the river looked great, a bit of colour, no debris floating down the river, the floods must have got rid of a lot of the weed and the bankside was the most accessible in the time I have been coming here. The latter appears to be the reult of some hard work by the WUF. The day started brilliantly with 4 fish in my first 5 casts including a hat trick then it died as the canoeists appeared. Around 4 I had another hat trick and picked up a couple of fish later. My best day on the Wye to date. In total 3 Barbel 5,6 and 6.5 lbs and 5 Chub to 3lb - all very lean so I guess they had been spawning.

4 rainbow trout, spinning and worm. I like to book my fishing on line but I dont use a printer. Is it possible to confirm booking with a text message to my mobile?
Lovely place to fish, staff friendly.

WUF note - We do not have the facility to text message bookings but emailed booking references can be viewed and presented, when asked for on most mobile phones.

3 trout spinning, worm. Lovely venue

Nil Return. One fish hooked on a partridge and orange but lost after 10 seconds.

6 (small) BT caught & returned. French nymphing gold bead nymphs of various size (12-16). River clear and flowing well. Fished morning only.

A hard day but did manage to hook 1 fish which shot off on a long run across the river & pulled the hook, no further action. On another note I was there with 3 other anglers who I knew so who is W B from Surrey & the man with his son who have submitted a report for the 29th? Was I fishing the right beat?

8 chub up to 4lbs and 2 Barbel approx 8lbs each. With the exception of 1 chub all caught trotting. 1 Chub on feeder with Pellet. Very disappointed with the lack of accessible swims. Late decision to fish the Wye and only place left that I could book on line as offices were closed. Would have liked to have fished Whitehouse as it was free but couldn't book online.

All 3 rods experienced mixed returns on the day. 1 rod bagged up taking 3 Barbel to 8lb 4oz & 15 Chub around the 4lb mark on feeder with pellet & boilie hookbaits, 1 rod had 1 small Barbel and 4 Chub using a rolling meat approach and the final rod struggled and caught nothing. River had dropped considerably due to the warm weather which made finding the fish more difficult.
All rods encountered heavy canoe traffic throughout the day and although the majority were aware of the presence of anglers there was a minority that were happy to be messing about on the river

I fished the 28th but to answer K T question I think W B was there on the Saturday 28th as was the gent and his young son. Perhaps he put the wrong date down. You seem to be on the right beat.
