A good day to end the season. Weather mild and river level not to high. All fish caught on meat with the biggest

Great day fishing swims in the first field below the woods. Rotated between pepperami, spam and pellets with the former doing best on the day. Both Barbel ca. 7-8lb caught in the last swim by the gate into the second field. One at 10am and the other as dusk fell. The Chub were all in a swim closer to the woods. Thanks Wye and Usk and the landowners.

Wednesday 2 March river up from yesterday half metre to 2 metres. Only had one barbel. Had some bits but must be line bites could not hook them. Still a lovely day to be out on the bank. Only fished top field. Will be back soon.

Our second trip to the Wye was a bit harder going on the same beat in very different conditions. The river was up and pushing through and the banks were pretty treacherous despite a dry day.

We fished below the woods with very few swims fishable but we both caught in the end with a nice Barbel dead on 8lb and a Chub over 4lb both caught on Elipse Dumbbells.

The trek over the hill was made a lot easier by taking the road past the sewage works and entering the gate to the left to the corner of the wood rather than walking up from the top section which we didn't fish this time.

Next time I will be taking a Rope!

River flooded, gave up after 2 hours and went to the pub.

Overcast and drizzle day. River not high. Three chub between 3 and 4lbs, 1 barbel just after sunset at 9lbs, and 1 other lost. Fish caught on pellet and meat. Quite a trek up and over the hill to venture downstream of the woods! Had a visit from a cheeky otter.
