11Lb hen fish (coloured), beat 3 again (7.15pm just as the light was going), same old trusty yellow & black tube (must find out what its called!). Great fight, thought it was a bigger fish than it turned out to be. River in top condition.

10Lb fresh-ish hen fish from Beat 3 this morning, yellow and black tube fly.

Barbel in the late moring and chub in the afternoon and evening. All decent fish. River was higher than I was expecting and swims I've fished before were not accessible. Definite autumnal feel to the day.

Tough day on this lovely stretch of the wye . On the day of the local fun ride so we saw lots of riders along the bank. River was about 5 foot up and carrying some colour so should have been good for barbel. Could just about hold the far bank with 3 oz but lost hooklength to snags. We caught no barbel on meat or pellet but had 8 nice chub to meat - many of them under the bank which was nice. Don't know how the salmon anglers got on - we only saw a couple (salmon)crashing about. We were on beat 5 but wish we had explored further downstream.

River was still high and coloured, but both falling and clearing. A beautiful day but no fish were caught ( three rods). Two fish were seen both at the mid point of beat 6.

Beautiful stretch, river steady about 18" above low summer level. Walking involved to most swims

No fish caught only fished the morning due to really bad weather

Greeted with a low clear river on our arrival at this beautiful beat, which made fishing very difficult. All the fish caught came to pellet feeder tactics , largest Barbel 9lb 8ozs. Lots of wildlife on show , including a pair of Otters, Buzzards, Peregrins and Kingfishers.
