A few knocks but absence of fish could be explained by seeing a very content looking otter

Incredible days fishing 9 barbel and 2 chub........such an amazing beat.

9 Barbel, 2 Chub

Hard going again River came up 25cm one barbel early on then slowed down as the river rose

1 Barbel

Two of us fished towards the bottom of the beat as the river was very fast at the top opposite the house. Fished halibut pellets and feeder and had the a chub and barbel at about 11:30. Had to wait until mid afternoon for the other fish. All fish in great condition. Best fish was a chub nudging 5lbs. Beautiful autumn day with the river fining down over the time we were there.

3 Barbel, 3 Chub, 1 Other

Another good session on this little fished beat. Two barbel and two chub on Sticky krill dumbbell and running ledger setup. River was considerably lower today and less colour in the water.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

River running fast and high but did drop by about 15cm through the day. One chub caught in the margins on meat.

1 Chub

River was high and powerfully pushing through. Could only fish the slacks in the margins. Barbel was 5lbs and the chub were between 1-4lbs. Used standard feeder tactics.

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

We only fished for about an hour. The banks were incredibly dangerous after the recent floodwater had dropped. We had three quick chub but soon decided the swim was too dangerous as it had started to rain again. Unfortunately whilst retrieving the last of my tackle I slipped down the bank despite holding onto my well secured rope and dropped into the river up to my waist. My fishing partner phoned 999 and I was quickly rescued by the Fire & Safety officers.

Anglers are advised to use a rope when fishing the Wye and to take care on the banks in these wet conditions!

Fishing Passport Note : We so sorry to hear of your accident and glad the rescue was successful! Stay safe out there, wherever you are fishing.
