Began fishing at 9am. 3 chub caught by 11am so moved 20 yards along the bank & immediately caught barbel. Warm sunny day but with some cloud and much cooler than last week. River was very clear but looked good. Fished until 9pm and eventually caught 13 barbel & 8 chub. All nice fish. Nice to see lots of salmon showing in the river.

First Fish! Size 4 Mepp. 10lb Fresh Fish.

What a marvelous days fishing. Getting baked in the sun and catching steady throughout the whole day. All fish falling to pellet feeder tactics, we both caught 2 barbel each between 6-7lb, a load of chub to 5lb and CB had a nice surprise catching a stunning common carp of 9.5lb. And even when the fishing did go quiet for 2 hours it was just a joy sitting by the river watching the salmon jumping out of the water as a kingfisher flies past. Tight Lines.

4 Barbel, 37 Chub, 1 Other

Nice beat lots of accessible areas, eventually found the barbel in the fast water, all in superb condition all caught on halibut pellet wrapped in paste.

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

We had a lovely day on a very nice water. Conditions looked perfect. River not high and carrying a little bit of colour. Between us we had 4 barbel up to 7lb 12 oz and 15 chub ranging from very small to a biggest of 3.5lbs. All fish were taken on pellet feeder tactics.
There are a lot of chub on this stretch. Best times were early morning and late evening, especially for the chub.

First fish of season for the Luggs Mouth/Lower Carrots fishery at 2pm - 18lb fresh silver fish to a flying condom. This was a single hook condom as recommended By Mike Timmis, chairman of Wye Salmon Fishery Owners Association.

Fished this beat up and down all day no barbel showing
one chub late in the day.

Feeder style fishing, using pellet and ground bait changing to meat. 4 chub on meat and 1 barbel late in session on pellet. The river was falling, windy and a few showers overcast.

A very short visit after lunch and a lovely cock fish to finish the season - around 13lb on the length to weight chart. On a black and green micro tube on a floating line. Went back strongly. A great end to the season.

We enjoyed our day and meeting the two Salmon anglers on the beat. Plenty of room and options and easy to drive to the hut in a 4x4. Bites were finicky however as soon as we moved to touch ledgering we started to hit the fish after 4pm when the bites switched on. Fish caught on double hair rigged pellet and swimfeeder tactics. Great historic beat and fantastic service from the friendly Wye and Usk staff, worth every penny! Saw one salmon leap and you will see Kingfishers all along the stretch. Had a nice pint of beer in the Moon 5 mins away on the way home.
