First day of a five day trip. Nice to see the River up and looking gd. Three of us fished 2 in the bottom field and one in the Church field. Caught 17 Barbel between us straight lead and pellet feeder. Spoke to the Land owner nice chap a fellow Yorkshireman living the dream in the only place I would live outside Yorkshire. The Mighty Wye!!

Conditions far from ideal with bright sunshine all day. All fish taken on pellet feeder and pellet dumbells. Fish taken intermittently throughout the day with no prolonged feeding period. Thankfully the abundance of wildlife kept us busy.
Anglers note when fishing for barbel please use appropriate end tackle to handle the fish. Caught a 8lb barbel with a size 16 hook and 4lb line wrapped through and around it's gills. Hook had a hair attached so being used for either boilies or pellets.... Hook and line safely removed and I am constantly seeing this as feature on this river.

WUF Note: Many thanks for looking out for the welfare of the fish.

we arrived to find the river very low at the creel this was our first time on this beat, the banks were dangerous and swims were very limited only one set of steps at the start of the beat. From a health & safety aspect this is not good we had 1 barbel & 2 chub very unlikely we will return here as anglers safety appears to be very low on the wye & usks agenda

1st time fishing the wye and was a real contrast to fishing the more intimate close quarters style I'm used to... struggled initially to get to grips but managed a nice chub 3lbs+ and 2 barbel..
About an hour interrupted by a steady string of kayaks but on the whole they were polite and friendly as we were towards them.. Will definitely be back for another

Was optimistic on this new venue for us, nice place, but just the one 6lb barbel and one eel using feeder and pellet/ meat. Fished midday till 9:30, in good conditions. Not sure why the bottom field was full of campers fishing when we paid good money for the whole stretch?? as a result limited swims to fish.

River at a good level and rising a little. Weather breezy and increasingly wet. Started at about 15.00 hrs and fished until 21.30. Barbel up to about 6.5lbs, most in the last hour and a half, with a couple more lost. All on feeder and pellet. A good evening, despite the rain.
