Bit of a change from last week at Middle Hill where I had an excellent session. Today was poor with continuous rain in the afternoon with only two small chub to show from my efforts. The river was up a fair bit more than the previous week and a few cooler nights didn’t help but still expected more from here. The lower section of the beat is pretty much wasted which is a shame as in certain conditions & times of the year I’d expect fish to move into the slower water. The scenery and surroundings of the Wye never disappoint

Beautiful stretch, the top half has excellent access for the Wye, but the bottom half appears to have no swims cut out and only looks fishable at high water levels. The large weed beds I remember from my previous trip here a few years ago are unfortunately mostly gone.

Honestly lost count of the number of Chub and am pretty sure I caught at least one fish twice. Most were small, but a few were 3lb+. The Barbel was a mint condition long and lean fish of around 7 1/2lb. Everything caught on pellet feeder.

I appear to have lost a bank stick at some point while exploring and was unfortunately unable to find it.

Only a short evening session and I was in two minds whether to fish the float for chub, or sit it out for a barbel. In the end the barbel won out, although only one put in an appearance. Even so, it was a nice fish of about eight pounds. Lots of chub attacking the feeder almost instantly, most around a pound, with a couple of better fish.

Fished first swim at top of field to start but wasn’t set up for the pace of the river. Moved to the corner swim by the wall. Fished from 7am - 7pm would have stayed later but swim was very snaggy. Still I will be back to explore further down the beat another time
