A slightly tougher day today on a really lovely beat.

4 Barbel, 15 Chub

A good day. Arrived at 7.30am and was on water by 8. First fish within 20 minutes, a Barbel of about 7lb. Went like a train.
This was followed in quick succession by a 9lb fish (weighed, missing chunk out of tail )and a Chub of about 2lb. All on ledgered pellet. Took break for tea. Next fish was 10lb and 4oz Barbel (weighed) a new Wye PB for me. Perfect condition Followed up by by two more Chub, between 1 and 3lb. Lunch around Noon. Wander and checked out other pegs. Thought I'd be joined by two others, but they didn't materialise. At one resumed, and took large Chub (6lb) which fought well, and might've passed for Barbel. Between 2 and 4 quieter patch. Street Pegged luncheon meat, took Chub of about 2lb and a Dace. Lost small Perch. Back on ledger from 4 till 6. Fidgeted between meat and pellet. Rattled a lot on meat, but no fish. 2 more smaller Barbel, one at about 2lb and one at 4.

Pleasing. Conditions were excellent. Pegs in good order, with steps cut and fairly dry bank. Would endorse what others say - spike and rope recommended. Fish caught throughout day. A lovely stretch of river. Nobody seen in 12 hours.

3 anglers fishing perfect river conditions.
Some good sized barbel & chub spread throughout the day. Overall a great day.

Fished in front of second picnic table, meat corn and pellet on feeder, 4ft tail to size 14 with two pellet bands or a bait spike. 4 barbel, lost two more, 3 chub and 3 dace. Quite snaggy anywhere more than one third over due to lost braid/nylon from previous anglers but couldn't get a bite closer in. Moved to upstream end swim and trotted meat and corn close in for 14 more chub up to 3lb but mostly 12oz to 20oz, some good dace and a perch. Mind the tripwire 4 inches off the ground at the top of the bank in this peg. Short stretch but lovely and peaceful. An hour's work with a pole saw would would improve the middle swims no end. Would definitely fish here again as long as it was during a dry spell.

Three fishing. Pretty hard going. 1 angler had almost all of the fish from the upstream swim.
Watch out for the goat!

2 Barbel, 24 Chub

Great looking venue but hard fishing despite good conditions. All but 1 barbel caught by 1 person at the top of the beat.
PS - the big goat looks terrifying but pretty harmless

River very high.

Rainy wet conditions. Slippery banks. Chocolatey coloured water making the fishing hard with the fast current. Margins were the only area which were fishable using a 5oz lead in the slack to just about hold bottom. Lovely peaceful day for our first time on the wye. All fish caught on pellets.
