The first and probably the only trip to the Wye this season so I was pleased to have a good day. Fished from 1pm to 6pm in the wooded section. Mostly overcast with some sunny spells and a couple of light showers. The fish were active all through the session.

I had a morning blank until Stefan the bailiff arrived to check my ticket and then very kindly walked the lower part of the beat with me and offered some solid advice on tactics and where the fish might be holding up. Armed with this knowledge the afternoon was much more productive with 4 barbel all over 5 lbs gracing the net along with 4 good chub. The largest barbel was pushing 10lbs and the best chub was a solid 5lb fish. All fish were in spectacular condition and fought hard. A big thank you to Stefan for the advice and polite manner in which he checked I had booked the session; I very much welcome the management and policing of beats in this way, it surely benefits both the anglers and landowners.

Professional rain dodging today ....Very smug with myself as it started raining just as I was doing the short drive back to Rhayader from the top bridge section ( Camdwr brook ) running into the Ithon up from Llanddewi ....
A fun quick session before the rain !!! Three hours was great fun , with the river clear and low, reading 0.099m on the NRW gauge .... but workable with tiny dries !!! A goid few olives on the go from tennis... sort of went muggy for a while, that imminent rain feeling you know ....
Seven to the net, on size twenty dries ..... some lovely fish this morning too ..... A really good tussle on the six foot, two weight, superb fun !!
I noticed on the drive back home Steve has put beef cattle in the field by the lower parking area ...I don't think the bulls name is "Precious" either .....Lol !!!!
A fun few hours, seems an age since I've been on a wild stream .... probably eight days ....A couple of fab days recently on Nant-y-moch and Claerwen Reservoirs.... Great fun !!@ out with a client in the Elan Valley tommorrow, this overcast dull windy weather is perfect for the big wild reservoirs.....Happy days..Home time, and a decent mug of coffee !!!
