34 Barbel, 22 Chub on pellet corn and bread. Caught fish all over the beat with the main of the Barbel coming from the top field.

One fish of about 12 inch was caught on hares ear nymph. That was the only fish we got close encounter in the day and it was returned safely. The day was beautiful and the water was crystal clear. We could see fish but it meant they could see us too. Tough fishing.

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.

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?
