Not a full day fished due to the long journey home but still an enjoyable session.

No fish caught and no bites either but the conditions were lovely, the river wasn't too high and it wasn't too fast.

River still low, Fished from 12-9, fish taken before and after the thunder the lightening. Had to reel in and shelter in the car as the lightening was right above me.

Love this beat, it always fishes hard but I keep coming back.

Fish caught on pellet feeder tactics.

The river was rising but it surprisingly fished quite hard till the evening when the barbel decided to feed.

A short evening session that turned into a very short evening session due to heavy thunderstorms! Very hot day 34 oc . Access very limited in the bottom sections. Saw some barbel and chub in the shallows but they didn’t want to know. The plan was to finish in the top meadow but only managed 2 casts before I had to pack up missing the best time of the day! Results may well have been totally different with more favourable conditions and a bit more time !

Stiflingly hot day and the river as low as I've seen it. Caught 3 barbel, best 8.11, on swimfeeder in the evening.

Hidden stretch of the Wye with a beautiful view of Goodrich castle. Started fishing at 6:30am while the sun was still hiding behind misty clouds. Access to the river is quite steep and overgrown, I was able to get down using the path signaled by the metalic fence. I was lucky to locate a big shoal of barbel right by the left bank. I caught one carp, one barbel and one big chub with my flyfishing rod french nymph style. Very enjoyable to fish by sight!
