We thought it was going to be hard going today but had a bit more success than imagined. The fish were all caught in the slower, coloured water which we only fished in the afternoon as we spent the morning trying to find them in the more oxygenated water.
A difficult beat, not many swims and one whole section not exclusive due to the camping site so we won't be back on this one.

All caught on legered pellet or spam.

Hard work getting through the chub hitting the feeder as soon as it hit the water. Barbel caught in the lower section. Caravans are in the upper section apparently they are aloud 4 fishermen a day on that part? Is this correct Wye and Usk if so not much exclusivity! Lucky the top section didn’t look the oart for a change. Unbelievable amount of canoes today on the most part they were ok but you do get the odd drunk!

Fishing Passport Note : Exclusivity instead guaranteed as mentioned on the The Creel website page

Fished from around mid day to dark at the lower end of the island. 1 barbel around 4lb, 2+3lb chub on rolled meat or feeder and a few small fish on the float.
Not sure what the situation is with access, the path we're told to take has a "no footpath" sign and the public footpath from the church is forbidden to anglers. Other fisheries are available.

Gone have the days when we used to catch a good head of barbel on this stretch the chub have taken over which isn’t a bad thing some good sizes.

River level normal, clear. Over cast weather. Morning fished in the fast water just below trees (high bank, steep, difficult access) using link ledger and luncheon meat producing 2 chub, largest around 4lb and 1 barbel around 5lb.
Afternoon moved upstream to slower deeper swim using small feeder and pellet, 6 chub all around 4-5lb.
An enjoyable day but fairly limited number of accessible swims.
