The river was in good nick after recent rains. Another very pleasant if not abundant day on this familiar beat. Brought a mate along who was looking to land his first ever barbel and I thought this would be a banker. He didn't bank his barbel but he did have a good day full of Chub and a very healthy looking Eel.
There were countless salmon leaps throughout the afternoon and not small fish, which was pleasing to witness. Also it was encouraging to find among the familiar rocky snags a number of retrieves brought in some healthy looking weed which has been noticeable by its absence on the Wye.

Not able to make the long walk over Heart Attack hill so fished by the Sewage Farm. Anglers on the opposite bank casting across. One nice barbel at dusk.

Amazingly no-one was booked on this fabulous beat so at short notice all three of us managed to get our middle-aged bodies up over the hill and on to the whirly bit where the fish live.
We then spent a pleasant day doing what most blokes our age do – fighting the chub.
There must be something in the water here that keeps these chub present as I’ve never witnessed anything like the amount of a single species in one stretch. They’re like tadpoles in a pond.
I reckon between us we must have caught 75 of the blighters throughout the day in various shapes and sizes, all caught on various baits - not bad going bearing in mind our day also included a 4 hour gap midday for lunch and a red wine snooze.
We also managed some nice barbel (including a few one pound toddlers) to round off a perfect day. Despite the trek across the top, this beat never fails to deliver.
Especially if you like chub.
6 Barbel, 75 Chub
