Another great day of fishing

River still very high as per yesterday’s influx from Wales , it took me a while to settle as An Angler was on opposite bank to a swim I fancied so I did the trek over heart attack hill and settled in this field / woods where wife broke her wrist a few years ago on my last visit!!
The afternoon was lovely , I was settled and fished my heart out , should have had a lot more Chub as missed loads but was really hanging out for a bonus Barbel or two so stuck to my guns and was rewarded with another Wye PB of 9.6 ! Chub were all quality in 3-4lb bracket , Eel was a pit of a pain at last knocking as net and jumper covered in slime and rig tangled , but oh well it’s part of the territory when feeder fishing Meat on the Wye !
Terrific day although one observation is that bottom field seems to have NO swims unless you are goo d at climbing trees ! (Obviously NOT recommending).
Thank you Wye and Usk for terrific day once more !

First time on this beat and 6’ of extra water didn’t help the choice of swims. One rod in the top field and 3 rods tackled the hill round the wood into the bottom field.
Best barbel was 10lb 2oz.

Another enjoyable day here , weather was kind , overcast but very mild and humid . River was up a bit from my last visit but still manageable.
Two early takes here then it goes quiet, then you get a flurry ,goes quiet again seems to be the theme here but I wouldn’t change it for the world . Dusk always throws up a mad burst to . All caught on pellet . Great day ! So peaceful

After beating that hill again, we settled in the top field for the morning, feeling that the woods swim would not be accessible.

The river was up from summer levels, fast and steady with a tinge of colour.

We caught steadily, barbel to 6lb and chub to 4lb before moving to the near field late afternoon, fishing by the hut. This produced a couple of chub and the largest barbel of the day of 7lb 12oz which fought like a tiger in the flow.

All fish were caught on the bottom with a mix of lead and feeder, meat, pellet and boilie.

A slow morning fishing from the rocks with no bites at all. Some extra water and colour in the river. Moving several times brought results with beautiful chub to 6 lbs falling to bread on the float and to method feeder. A few additional swims would be welcome in the first field as much of the bank is inaccessible. Thanks for a lovely day on the river WUF.

Fished downstream below the wood. Accessing the swim was difficult and would be impossible in wet weather. However, river stunning as usual, weather great and a superb days fishing topped by a 9 1/4lb barbel, along with a 6 1/2lb and a 7lb.
