River very low. No sign of barbel. Chub to 5lb.

Beautiful stretch of the Wye, water levels unfortunately were really low which made fishing hard. No barbel seen but another guy caught one upstream, fish just weren't biting. Will definitely be back. Tried feeder fishing with meat, pellets and corn. Chub were taking sweet corn. Also tried rolling meat.

Fished for around 6 hours on this beautiful stretch of river. Caught 3 small Bream on the fly -unusual. Very hot and a lot of canoe traffic. No sign of any other fish action.

Plenty of salmon jumping but nothing caught on spinner or fly except a couple of trout. Lovely beat though!

Back on the same beat I have caught 60 fish in 4 sessions this year. The conditions were low and clear so not ideal for static bait fishing but I caught some fantastic chub on rolling meat and a blob of plasticine as a weight. I did lose to very big barbel on my feeder rigs to the snags (where they hide in these low water conditions).
Another great day on this stretch and building a picture now of what works when....I will be back.

Great time had by all. Lovely spot to fish and between us we had 15 chub from 2lb-5lb but only one Barbel this trip at 6 1/2 lb. Fished mainly beat 4 and 5. Great advice from Terry as always making us feel welcome and giving us up to date local knowledge.
Look forward to our next visit. Thanks again.

Many thanks to Terry Ward for making me so welcome, giving me an easy beat to fish. I am afraid I failed to connect with a fish, but a cracker showed opposite the house at the end of the day,Thanks also to the staff at the foundation for sorting the beats. Be back in September to try again.

First time in over 20 years I've fished for salmon on the Wye and this lovely stretch of water with well kept river banks, so I was very rusty with my fly casting and I think my tackle has seen better days. Saw a large coloured fish several times just above the house and a silver fish higher upstream.
