Apart from the rain we had a great day fishing
14 barbel best 9lb 14, all on halibut pellets and
1 eel. Fished for 4 days on
WUF beats: 62 barbel and 22 chub, stayed at
Flansford priory thanks to all.

Did not fish due to wash off (agreed with WUF by phone)

3 very small trout, all returned. Water rising and by late afternoon it was nearly too high for fly fishing. I will come again, a nice water to fish in better conditions.

Fishing for Salmon; Didn't catch. River rose around a foot whilst I was fishing!

Fishing in the worst rainfall imaginable seemed like madness but managed 3 hours between 2pm and 5 pm and was rewarded with 4 fish the biggest being a Wye PB at 11lbs 4oz before the banks became too dangerous to land and return fish.
Thanks to the WUF for all the terrific work they have done on this stretch.

My prefered part of the beat at the bottom end was flooded so I fished the last swim on the high bank. I had 8 barbel to 9lb, all caught on halibut pellet and soft spicy sausage soft pellets. The river turned a chocolate colour at 5 o clock and then rose 10ft in the next 12 hours.

No Salmon although one good fish lost, snapped flyline leader. 2 Brownies to Salmon Lures 12oz & 1lbs both returned.
Meeting another vehicle halfway down the track to the parking would be interesting!

Seven Barbel all between 7lb and 9lb. Needed large feeders to hold bottom with hemp and 3mm pellets. All fish on pellet. Sun came out and a very pleasant afternoon and evening. Cardiac Hill not as bad as I remembered. A beautiful venue, fished the first field and the Croy was three feet under water.

Caught 1 small sightly coloured salmon and lost another around the same size (about 5 pounds) when reaching for disgourger. All salmon caught on CD7 brown trout. Saw a few salmon moving through the beat just above the island later in the evening. About 7 - 8 small browns rangng from 7 - 10 inches caught and 1 larger brown of about 2 pounds caught on CD5 rainbow trout.
All fish caught were released. Very nice beat with varying water and easy access. Booked through the evening tickets scheme.

Thought I had better get an hours fishing in this evening before tomorrows deluge possibly ruins It for the weekend. Caught the finest looking bar of silver cock fish I've ever seen, at around 12 - 13lbs. It put up one hell of a scrap and shot off as soon as unhooked it! Caught on the fly again and in the Boat pool.
