No catches

Very nice spot and clear instructions. Will visit again.

It was good to be back on the river again. I was full of anticipation, dampened by the knowledge that chemicals and chicken effluent have striven the salmon population and that I was unlikely to catch. The river was running a little high and the water coloured but, that said, the pools were all easily accessible, although somewhat more difficult to egress with the slippery Wye mud rendering studs near-useless! No sign of any salmon but lots of kingfishers darting up and down the river and red kites circling on the thermals overhead. All in all a most enjoyable day but, alas, no fish.

Spinning - no bites, water still quite high

Having been at 0.89m on Saturday the river had risen again to 1.45m by the time we arrived, with 6 inch vis, but was just starting to fall. 3 of the group arrived early and fished swims at the top, I arrived just before lunch and fished down the bottom. Beautiful day, sunny for the most part, with 8.9 degree water temp. We all caught barbel (two had 1, one had 2, and the other one a fab 5, between 5lb and 7.04). The chub was 2lb and the other a gudgeon! All fished predominantly gb feeders with meat and pellet in and an assortment of hookbaits - meat, big flavoured pellets, small boillies. PJ had his first 2 Wye barbel, Mr P (that’s what we call him) had the 5 having only caught one in his last 5 Wye trips. A lovely end to the season fishing with great mates and only 106 days until I go back!

9 Barbel, 1 Chub, 1 Other

Only x4 chub between two of us, lost one barbel. Walked the entire stretch and fished multiple swims. A tough day.

River was a good level, sadly it hammered it down all day and got soaked. But had a few fish. Stefan popped by and gave a great deal of good advice. Good day all round

Mostly caught on pepperami with pellet feeder under an overhanging willow tree in the second swim below the hedge. Just above the gate swim. Thanks to Stefan for his advice and maintenance of the swims.

Unfortunately no fish but an enjoyable day our first time on the wye which was a bit of an eye open
