No fish caught

The last session of our six day visit to the Wye was a replay of previous days with fish reluctant to respond until late evening. Very low water levels meant we were somewhat precariously perched a fair way above the water as established swims were few and far between. Flocks of Canada geese noisily entertained us for the afternoon, all eventually taking flight as they went out to supper in the fields.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

A slow day with only 2 bites between 7.45am and 6.30pm. 1 Chub and 1 Barbel came in the last 30 minutes before dusk. Both good fish c. 5-6lb

The river is very low and locating fish was a challenge. I fished swims along most if the beat without success. Thank you to the 2 other anglers who suggested that I try their swim when they packed up at 6.30. This was a good move!

A beautiful stretch of river. I saw countless kingfishers, green woodpeckers and a barn owl to name a few. I'll definitely return later in the season.

Good days fishing, all chub in the 3-4lb bracket

1 Barbel, 34 Chub

We only fished after lunch and had to wait until late evening for a little flurry of barbel. The fish were not inclined to feed until the sun started to set.

River low. Could not get action on pellets over several hours. Switched to meat and things improved greatly.
Chub all of a good standard but barbel refused to show.
That aside. A very good fishery and very peaceful.
Thank you.

Didn’t fish today, desperate times. We have a week every September on the Wye and we love every second of it catch or not but none of us could face going back to the river in its current state today
