Slow start with no fish for first 6 hours but ended up with 9 barbel and 2 chub on pellet feeder.

River was higher and pushing through a lot more than when I was here on Tuesday. Had to step up to a 4oz gripper lead to keep station in the middle of the river. With both the river and weather conditions results were fantastic, catching from the start and throughout the day. Started upstream of the first gate then switched in the afternoon to the bottom field area. ledgered PVA bag/pellet method with either pellets or 12mm boils as hook bait. Bulk of the fish were in the 5 to 6lb range with one gem of 9lb 2ozs.

This was my last trip of the year to the Wye, I've had 3 x 3 day visits this autumn and the fishing as been superb.
Many thanks to WUF for managing the fishing, you do a great job much appreciated. I'll certainly be back to the Wye in the autumn next year.

River still up although has dropped back from Sunday's rise, good strong flow and not too much debris coming through.
Fished 4 swims in all, had the first and best barbel (8lb 4oz) shortly after starting in the morning , the other 6 came in the last 3 hours. All caught on PVA bags/pellet with either pellet or 12mm boilie as hook baits.
Another very enjoyable day on this beat

The river was on the rise all day! Both anglers managed to catch first cast and then sporadically throughout the day but the flow and weed got to us and had to fish in the slack because our feeders struggled to hold in the flow.the river must have risen 3 foot during our trip but still managed to catch in the margins on boillies and feeders.

We did not anticipate Storm Brian (who came up with that name!!) would be too menacing but the bottom of the beat would have been more suitable for windsurfing rather than fishing.
We endured a blustery day to say the least but the fishing was very good and we were delighted to find some Barbel feeding and caught decent sized fish throughout the day.
Playing angry Barbel with one hand on your rod whilst hanging on to your hat and trying to avoid sliding in the river is not to be recommended but certainly an experience we will not forget in a hurry.
Thanks to the owners and WUF for allowing us to fish this great beat...
