Another great day on the majestic River Wye.

8 Barbel, 4 Chub

This was definitely a game of two halves. we fished all day through to 4 pm with just two chub to around 4lb to show for our efforts . then between 4 pm and 7 pm we caught 14 barbel all of the 5-8 lb stamp plus a chub to 6lb. all on pellet/feeder tactics. Conditions were not ideal, water low, clear and blazing sunshine with swans practicing their take off and landing technique but on the plus side, no canoes! ....but if we hadn't caught the barbel it would still have been a great day out. Will be back.

Another lovely day fishing with plenty of fish all which fell to feeder and pellet tactics , did have a dabble with the float but no go. All of the fish were in pristine condition and fought hard, as said a lovely days fishing in beautiful surroundings!!!! Just one question.... Why are we not allowed access to the footpath from the carpark??? Perhaps somebody from the WUF could shed some light please.....

Lovely piece of water this, bank opposite the island has lots of good looking barbel areas and upstream and downstream of this is deeper and slower so better for higher water.
Colour dropped out of the river overnight and day was brilliant sunshine, so not condusive to fishing and an early departure too meant not being able to stay the last few hours. So no fish caught.... However access was good, easy walk across the fields (no Caravans!) and would certainly visit this beat again.

Unfortunately we arrived too late in the day to fish this beat. However I did take a look - and there's plenty of water to fish - and from mainly grassed banks... Although it did look snaggy in some of the more likely swims!
I would call it more than a short walk down to the river though. And quite a long way further if you want to fish at the far end of the beat... That's why I decided against it at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Bright sunny day, river in good condition, caught Barbel up to 7lb 9oz & Chub to 4lb 11oz and Dace on both pellets/casters. Lovely stretch would book again, many thanks.

Great day, river in good condition, fished the Church Stream Pool, had 6 Barbel during the morning then the last 3 in the last 90 minutes. Most fish between the 5-6lb range, 1 of 8lb 8ozs and the best of 10b 2ozs. All fish caught on Elips pellets.

Warm, sunny and cloudy spells. River starting to come up, not too much colour. Still on the feeder with mag. Barbel up to 8lbs, most 5lbs upwards. Chub up to 4 1/2lbs.

Still on the feeder-mag, had one Barbel on pellet. Barbel ranging from 8oz to 8lbs, Chub 1 1/2 to 4 1/2lbs. lots of silvers Dace and Roach. Low clear river, warm, showers most of the morning, sunny and cloudy pm.
Not able to put any money in collection box (for parking).
Killer walk back up the slope with all the gear, at the end of a long day, would be nice to get other access, even on foot, top end maybe?
