Fished from first light, weather bit wet. Started off fishing the cable crib pool no joy so moved round to the pot pool 10ish no joy either but notice lots of slugs so put one on a 4 size hook and had a take but lost it then went down to the bottom of the island and free line slug and took maybe 25 plus chub from the far bank not Barbel but what a mornings fishing. Took 3 Barbel and 2 chub from same place in the evening.

Heavy low cloud and rain through most of the day.
Chub were voracious in there attacks on the baits soon as they hit the water good fish 4-5 lb. Barbel fed later in the day ended with 15 Barbel and 18 Chub.
Very damp but very happy!
Thanks W&Usk for 3 days coarse fishing heaven.

Quiet in the morning, just 1 chub. Picked up the afternoon with 8-10 chub total.

A great day, had 20 barbel bewteen us and at least 40 chub. Succesful baits boile and pellet. Fished a few different swims and took chub and barbel from most, but most profilic towards the end of the stretch.

This beat has excellent access, although it can be a long walk.

A very disappointing day only one chub caught between the two of us!!

Fished different swims and moved up and down, but only one barbel and 4 chub between us, the fish do not seem to be feeding, but still a good and enjoyable day.

8 chub and 4 barbel between the 2 rods.

Very nice stretch of river with good access and lots of nice swims. Very quiet day managed two barbel and four chub on pellets near the hut at the beginning of the beat. Many thanks

Weather changeable with periods of sunshine followed by increasing rain later in the day. Spoke with Colin the day before fishing, who kindly put us on the fish. My friend Paul and I had a memorable day's fishing, landing 17 barbel to 8lb (Paul had 12) and 30+ chub to around 4lb. The fish came to pellet and luncheon meat. We will certainly be back.

Another great day at Holme Lacy, the river was a bit lower than the previous week, but that didn't stop the fish feeding. Due to the lower flow we were able to fish along the island bank this time without using 4oz feeders.
We finished the day with 20 Barbel up to 8lb, plus numerous Chub to 3.5lb. Bait was again Halibut Pellet fished below a feeder.
