Perfect conditions today, river dropping after recent rise and the day was overcast with light showers. Only found one barbel as we have always struggled with fish location on this beat. Others were 2 eels.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub, 2 Other

5 Barbel

River running high and coloured. Fishing difficult ,holding bottom with debris a problem all day. Good stretch and access good though.

5 Chub

3 Barbel, 19 Chub

Simple to park and easy access to the swims, not much access to swims due to high banks and erosion.

Fished opposite the island, bites and hook ups all day however couldn't seem to get a good hold. Changed hooks and hook length etc. without any success. Should of probably tried lightening the feeder but didn't think on that at the time.

1 nice barbel, so happy overall

We caught 14 Barbel to 8lb 9oz & 52 decent Chub with 5 fish over 5lb with the remainder between 3lb & 4lb. This should be our last day on the Wye this year (might come back next month), thanks again WUF for arranging access to the fisheries.

The Canadian Geese population seems to have escalated and much to the dismay of a group of paddle boarders they took off on mass and flew downstream a few feet alarmingly over their heads...having to duck on a paddle board is not recommended but fortunately they all stayed dry!!
We caught a load of quality Chub and having arrived late morning it was pretty much non stop action all day...no preference for bait...whatever we lobbed out was swiftly consumed....Only 2 of us fishing with just one good Barbel caught but the other rod had the consolation of a beautiful Perch of 1lb 10oz.....Always good for us on the Creel and we expect it will fish pretty well for the rest of the season.

Disappointed land owner was cutting overhanging tree's on the river bank and letting all the debris drift by for most of the day. Made the top half of the fishery un-fishable most of the day!
The only water we could fish was the upper reaches which were more Chub water. Not a great day.
