Feedback & Reports

8 barbel to 9lb.5 oz using feeder and pellet. Slight swell in river from previous days rains improved our chances. Had a nice chat with Steffan the bailiff who has to be commended for all the great work he has put in on this beat cutting in swims, steps and putting in ropes for safer access.

First day fishing the Wye. 1 barbel at 9lb. 1oz. on feeder and pellet tactics.

Cloudy conditions, river normal level, many more swims available due to good swim clearances
Around 18:00 River turned a chocolate colour very quickly though river didn't rise and no rain? Something I've never seen before?? Was hoping not serious but still caught on meat and pellet.

River well up from recent weeks though distinctly green. Weather warm with sunny periods. Quiet when I started in mid-afternoon, but then a couple of smallish chub and two barbel around 7 and 6 lbs between 17.00 and 18.00. No more barbel but a few more chub and a big chub lost. I stayed until around 21.00 but the day's activity had ended well before then.

hard day for middle hill court standards. overcast but warm day, plenty water on river not to pacey but the water was a dark green colour due to an algae bloom. will try again later in year i think.
