Had a great day on this beat , water was rising for a while but didn't ruin the fishing. The large fresh cut branches that some fool decided to throw in upstream could have but luckily we saw them in time. Most barbel were between 6 & 8 lbs , with one being 10 lbs 2 ounces .

A great day in gorgeous countryside. Good fishing in the woods.River perfect. Fish caught on pellet and boilie.

All the fish came on meat, nothing on pellet. Feeding and catches coincided with a heavy rain storm. 2 fish (probably Barbel) lost.

2 good sized chub and 2 barbel at last knockings. Water still pushing through hard. 3oz leads held nearside. Luncheon meat did the job fished straight on the hook

Productive day in the high-water swims.

When I got to the river it looked perfect , flowing very fast and coloured. It was carrying a bit more water than normal. Started in my usual spot but couldn’t even keep an 8oz weight down anywhere in the swim, it was ripping through. Moved up to another spot with only slightly less pace but managed to get a bait down and the bites came instantly. Great days fishing altogether, fished from 12pm to 6pm. The takes were steady and the fish were pristine, great to be back on the Wye and getting some action after what’s been a difficult season. Lost a couple too. Weather good, fishing good, perfect day!

Patchy day on a swollen river. The hill is a killer !

With a gusting north westerly,heavy showers and the river up and coloured, the Lucky Stone was 2ft. under water, conditions were far from perfect. The wooded area was very slippery didn't feel safe to fish so settled for a couple of swims in the field below the woods. We managed to find a few fish, Barbel in the 5 to 7 lb. range, the Chub in the 3 to
4 and a half lb. range all taken on meat, a few fish lost to hook pulls frustratingly and the other, a Dace of about 5 inches, believe it or not, fell to 2 hair rigged 8mm red robins!!!
