Nice beat in beautiful countryside, wasn’t as tranquil as I would of liked as road opposite was quite busy all day. Beautiful woods behind the meadow swims and at the end of the beat. Hard fishing today water was pushing through. Started in the second wood swim and kept getting snagged and reeling in blunted hooks. Having not seen the beat when the water is low I was unsure of what was down there. Lost a fish as it got in the flow, I couldn’t stop it and my line parted as it rubbed against an underwater obstacle. Tried usual feeder tactics and rolling meat all day throughout various swims but to no avail-water was too fast today and I was underprepared. My mate winkled out a pristine 6lb 8oz on rolling meat in one of the meadow swims. All in all I would like to see the beat on calmer conditions. The amount of debris coming down was surprising -even a whole tree at one point!. We was concerned about egress as the route down was steep , we was in a Renault traffic van but still managed to get out quite easily without any issue.

Fantastic day on the beautiful river Wye at Thomas Wood. Fished the wooded section with static meat offerings and had 8 Barbel ranging from 4lbs 12ozs up to 9lbs 10ozs..... Oh and the obligatory eel

8 Barbel, 1 Other

An overnight drop in temperature really killed the fishing. Sadly only the two chub were landed, one just shy of 5lbs.

Blank, one of those days I guess, tried everything to no avail. Water looked good too if a little clear.

River pushing through, but was down 1 metre from the day before. 2 Barbel caught, one at 7lb 2oz, one at 3lb 14oz. Both from peg in the woods. Boilie and meat used as bait.

4 landed, 2 lost. River high, fishing close in. A bit nerving the condition of the track leading down to the fishery, heavy rain would probably had seen us stuck down there!

River was up 2.5m at the start of the day. Two barbel in the morning (both on boilies) 5lb 7oz and 6lb 2oz. Both from peg in woods. Moved to first peg after the car park in the afternoon and had two more barbel (both on meat), 6lb and less that 8oz. Good to see very small fish in the river.
