River very high but dropping, caught 5 Barbel & 3 Chub.

5 Barbel, 3 Chub

River in flood... Stained chocolate brown. Access to river very difficult due to muddy and very slippery banks. Could only find 1 x accessible point to the river...did manage 1 x trout. Fished from lunch until sunset.

Worst days fishing we've ever had on the wye. Topped off by ridiculous behaviour of a group of canoeists. Came ashore 20 yards from us and proceeded to get out and start throwing rocks into the river until we shouted at them. Stayed about 45 mins though then left. A proper guided trip from adventurebeyond.co.uk. most of the canoes are very respectful but there are still idiots about.

It was good to be back on this beat after a few years absence. Access is perfect and being able to drive to the river (in a 4x4) makes for a great day. We only fished until early afternoon as the weather forecast was looking grim for later in the day.
Fished a number of swims and caught some nice chub. Many thanks to all involved .. it is very much appreciated.

Small fish came to stick float mainly, nothing over 1lb , shame the lower peg are so overgrown compared with 2 years ago , unable to fish, this would have given us the opportunity to fish the deeper water

3 of us switched from feeder tactics to stick float, only one barbel caught on the feeder to barrel pellet, perch , dace and chub caught on sweetcorn on the stick float, unfortunately no chub over a pound, the early pegs look the part but didn’t fish as well as expected, back tomorrow
