Lovely morning. River very low. Not many knocks and no barbel. Will wait till the rains come to freshen up the Wye for my next visit.

A bit slow during the day apart from a cracking 5lb chub from the field below the wood. Things woke up in the last hour in the top field. Other was an eel.

Again, an overcast day (temp circa 18 degrees) with on and off rain through the session, but on a rising river due to the overnight rain (river level 0.51m @ the Mordiford station as of 11:15am 27/07/20). Fished 4hr session from 1pm - 5pm.

Fished The Lucky Stones peg, some treacherous walk that, catching from the first cast. Caught 9 fish within the first hour. Fished 50g closed swimfeeder, packed with 4mm pellets, and a banded 10mm pellet on the hook. Started filling the feeder during the session with hemp and 4mm pellets, which may have been a mistake, started catching more chub in lieu of the barbel. Lost 2 barbel to hook pulls.

Points of note:- the path through and to the woods is hilly, the path when wet is treacherously slippery, getting down to the pegs is difficult when wet, and so taking a rope with you is advised.

Tight lines all.
