8 Barbel landed, lost 3, few snags about. No chub at all, don't know why as the barbel were biting throughout the day

8 Barbel

walked entire length of upper court hill fishery only found 1 swim even possible to fish as bank completely over grown so both of us in 1 swim whole swim and surrounding trees covered in snapped off hook lengths when i did get to cast got caught up on line in the water then the storm hit and with all the fork lightning we gave up after an hour. what a complete waste of 50 quid. I have since found out we could have fished the lower court section which I am told has better and more accessable swims however would want to see these before spending any more money.

Fished morning and evening! River up a few inches but still crystal clear! Feeder fishing caught me nothing but weed!
Rolled meat. In the evening for a 4lb chub! Hard going!

1 Chub

Having fished the upper section before we wanted to try the lower left section, but we walked all the way down to the bottom only to find one decent swim as the river level was too shallow at that time.
We had to clear a swim as there was 2 of us, not impressed
However we did have 4 barbel over the 2 sections in the end on meat and pellet ledgering

River low and weedy!
Only a couple of swims were fishable due to vegetation growth! Venue needs some tlc!

Water levels were really low with all the fish coming in the last hour. Feeder and pellet tactics. Biggest barbel around 6lb, biggest Chub was around 4ib. A fantastic location and would certainly come back to fish it again.

Didnt fish too hot - for me!!

Fished early morning and no bites. Returned in evening and fished from 7.30pm.

4 good chub on Robin Red 12mm fished over krill and shrimp groundbait on the feeder in mid flow in the lower end swim.

First barbel c 6.5 pounds on Robin Red. Second ripped 20 m of line off and was netted after 10 mins. C9 pounds and pristine. Both rested and returned strongly.

After a tough week of hard fishing the Wye delivered a memorable session.

Bank access on lower swim is dangerous and ideally needs steps putting in / a rope.

Used two swims that were accessible. Beautiful setting and weather. No bits but that’s fishing!
