Still big snags in the main pool which really need clearing. Stopped fishing there after hooking and losing a few as even though I fish safe running rigs I still don't like the thought of a hook and line caught in a fish.
Evening was better and caught steadily opposite the gardens

The corner swim looked seriously fishy but is a total snag pit, as are most of the swims in the run below it. Lost 6 barbel and about 15 feeders on the corner. Lovely looking stretch wish I’d tried the swims at start of beat. One in particular looked tasty when driving back up. But hindsight is a great thing!

Chub we’re all fairly small by wye standards. Beautiful but don’t think I’d fish this stretch again. My bank balance can’t stretch to losing that many feeders in one session.

A great days fishing on a beautiful stretch of the wye. All fish caught on meat, pellet and corn - both feeder and rolling meat
The other was an eel which took a pellet!? River was low but overcast at times with rain.

Low water a bit of an issue. No sign of any barbel today.

Low water and sunshine were not a great mix but managed one nice barbel on pellets and feeder plus a small chub.

What a lovely stretch of river. Very picturesque. Nice easy driving access around the field too. I was expecting a very low and clear river, which it was, so Chub were the target. I float fished and rolled meat on various swims, wading around. I caught 2 clonking Chub on the rolled meat plus 10 chublets on the float. I settled into a swim opposite the Weir gardens for the evening and had 11 more big Chub up to 5lb and managed a lucky 6lb Barbel which was in immaculate condition. Considering the conditions I was very happy with the action. Really enjoyed fishing here, hope to be back when the Wye has a bit more on. Had to leave around 8:30pm as I had a flat tyre, didn't want to be stuck at dusk fumbling around, lucky I had a pump.
