5 Barbel, 6 Chub

Booked this a while back and was hoping for a river about 1m however it had dropped to 0.22 after the rise at the weekend and was clear. Fished fields 1 two and three (didn't try field four) in both faster and slower water with only two of the fish coming from the faster water. Biggest barbel was 6lb (fast water) and two were babbies. Top swim was most productive using a hemp feeder and feeding pellets by catty over the top with pellet or meat on the hook. Bites were not rippers and were difficult to spot in a heavy gusting wind particularly in the swims in the third field without upwind tree cover. One blank among the four of us so not a complete day but a day on the Wye.......

River still low, though I notice this morning it's risen by 45cm!! (02/10/22)

Sport was slow with only a couple of chub from the far swim in the morning.

Moved to steps and adjacent swim at 3pm and started catching. Barbel was 4lb 13oz. Chub were 2-4lb. Bait was the usual, pellet and meat on feeder. Beautiful surroundings as always.

Certainly know autumn has arrived ! The river is obviously low and clear at the moment which is going to make it more difficult but at least some fish were caught. Promising to see streamer weed in the shallows albeit slightly stunted. The stretch itself has decent access to swims apart from the top field which is wasted. The parking is easy. Both barbel came late in the day/eve. I reckon the minnows are getting braver! Watch out for the wasps nests in the banks there’s a few! Would like to return when there’s more water on
