Had a good day but the was work being carried out on the opposite side of the bank, I'm amazed I caught considering the work being carried out chainsaw hammering away.
I continued to make progress on the stick float all 9 chub where caught on the meat, plenty of pellets and hemp but no barbel, the was a few signs of them flashing in the water!
sun come out and killed it.
I'll be back to have another venture soon.

Frustrating day with some big hits amounting to nothing, definitely our Barbel opportunities. Overall 7 chub up to 5lbs on a mixture of float and feeder approaches using corn, meat and Krill pellets. An enjoyable day rather than a 'Red Letter' variety.

A cracking day fishing the faster water at the top of the beat. Chub to trotted meat up to 5lb. Barbel on feeder in the evening, best 7lb. One observation. All fish were carrying lice. A reflection of the water quality perhaps? Other was an eel.
I’ll be back!

Good fishing, all on spam rolling in the fast water at the croy

Cracking day on this beat again. Very hot day and Wye was rock bottom and clear so the only sensible tactic was trotting.
We fished til 12pm (sharing a swim), catching a few barbel and chub, and then lounged in the sun (mostly in the shade tbh) occupying ourselves by feeding the cruising chub on cubes of meat until 6pm when we recommenced fishing. Sport picked up markedly at 7pm and several more big chub and barbel graced the landing net. None were removed from the water as we were wading and all unhooked in the landing net and rested before returning.
We fished until the float was no longer visible in the gloom. Fortunately it was cooler by then for the ascent of "Cardiac Hill" back to the cars.
