Arrived to river pushing through with half a meter on it slowly dropping off. Dropped a foot during session. Early session before shooting into town for breakfast. So 2nd cast at sunrise rolling meat big powerful thump then screamed of to middle. Eventually landed it a very strong healthy 9lb 2oz Barbel. 3 eels then joined the party. Weather gave 2nd hottest day of the year. No further action until evening 18. 00hrs thump on feeder krill dumbells on hair. 8lb Barbel, it looked quiet ruff possibly just spawned covered in lots of jelly lookin lice. Then another eel. Evening bites were looking good but had to pack up early as needed to check in at the Inn on the Wye. These digs are so central to lower Wye beats. So only 2 off Barbel.
But hey that's still a good day out in remarkable settings on a glorious day. 9lb 2oz backed up with a 8lb. I could fish 5 or 10 seasons down south and still not catch that in a day. Only 7 canoes came through.

River was pacey with a tinge of colour. A few decent pegs to choose from and was surprised to find the fishing was quite slow. Pellets the best bait and the best barbel was 8lb 9oz.

Nice day on the river, fining down through the day. Barbel to 8.12 and chub to 5.6 on meat and dumbell boilies. First time fishing this beat, would book again, nice variety of swims to fish.

Fished later on in the day for a couple of hours, I lost a Barbel on the first cast after feeding the swim for an hour, not a knock until I was packing up and the rod went off. Back next year to home farm, it's a wonderful place to wet line lots of great memories for me as well as some stunning fish and wildlife.
