River still fining down from high levels of previous week, so good height and colour. Strong winds overnight meant a lot of leaves in the river compared to day before.
Bites very difficult to come by in field below wood. Rang the changes with maggots, pellets and meat in each swim. Quick check of the beats catch reports on this website convinced me to sit it out below woodland and it paid off. Bites came in last two hours, mainly to meat. At about 8lbs, my biggest barbel for a few years too. Even caught a swimfeeder to replace the one I lost to a snag today!

A very pleasant four hours on the Wye with the Ross gauge showing c.0.8m on a falling river, and with improving water clarity. I had only four distinct bites, with three barbel caught and another lost to a hook pull. Pellet and meat were both successful.

Arrived early in order to ready myself for a wet trudge over Heart Attack Hill to be met with a pleasant surprise - a farmer was offering free lifts on the back of his quad bike, along with a 5 litre bottle of local scrumpy and a bacon sandwich!
Only kidding.
Serious question though - why does the directions make you go a far longer, far harder way to the beat AND through some poor blokes garden when there's a legitimate waaay quicker and far less dangerous route?
By the time I'd done the short cut over the hill and settled into a peg with some nice slack water, I was soaked.
Turned into a tough day, with a howling wind and occasional sideways rain. One bite resulted in a kinky* barbel of around 6 pounds.
Love this beat but it may be next season until I brave it again. Unless they put in an escalator.
(* kinky as in damage to the spine)
