4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Shortened session due to car trouble but still caught 5 Barbel up to 6lb, all on pellet. Would have caught more but fished a promising looking but seemingly barren swim before moving swims. River very low despite heavy rain the day before. First time fishing this venue and indeed any WUF fishery. A pleasant spot despite the diesel pump running, though only for a couple of hours. Will return though would like to try some other venues first.

Hard work. One angler had a few bites. Others blanked. Not many pegs on the stretch.

Brilliant sunshine great for the angler, if not for the angling. Started catching as the sun lowered. Lots of canoe traffic but no problem.
Ear defenders recommended if fishing near the pump, where the best looking (and most accessible) swims are.

Fished the central section with not much happening then moved upstream for 8 Barbel and an eel.

Lots of fish rolling ,bit of water in the river led to 6 barbel and an unwelcome eel.

A good day in near-perfect conditions on this lovely stretch of water. The barbel fed briefly but intensely in mid-afternoon, with most fish caught mid-stream in strong flows. Not a chub in sight today, slightly surprising given their super-abundance on nearby beats this season.

Great days fishing after the struggle we had here on Wednesday. All the barbel came from the concrete walkway and were caught steadily through the day. Had to put up with the diesel pump going most of the day, but a small price to pay for the quality of fishing. We've had a great few days on the Wye once again. We always stay at the Falcon House B&B at How Caple which is situated just right for a lot of beats.
We'll be back !!

A hard day on an otherwise prolific beat. Weather didn't help with half a gale blowing straight in our faces along with rain on and off all day. Still enjoyable even so !!
