First cast nice chub over 4lb, thought this was the start of a great day to come but only knocks and touches after that, despite and overcast day and seemingly good conditions.
Regardless of the catch a great day and a well looked after beat. Pegs strummed to make access and fishing easy. Not a big job to do but a great thing to have done. Thank you for however took the time as I will be back on here gain to try for more.

A great day was lucky with the rain on the previous few days had put a few inches on and had coloured the river up nicely , started on the float and had 8 chub and a Barbel of 4lb. Rest fell to ledgering approach thru the rest of the day. Great stretch. Met the angler who was on next day , passed on my experience of the stretch on hope they have a good day ????
Great start to the season and lovely to be back on the Wye

One of my favourite beats partly due to the number of swim options and consistently good catches even in the most challenging conditions. We arrived at the beat at midday and had an hour of crazy fishing with 7 or 8 fish caught in the midday sun!! Fishing was then a little slower but we managed a couple more in a couple of the top swims where the water is slightly more oxygenated. We let the barbel rest for at least 20mins before returning safely.
A really good day despite the heat, low water and high water temperature. We will be back but after it rains.
3 Barbel, 9 Chub

Spent the day trotting several swims. Wye more coloured than expected for the height. Had a crazy amount of chub and one barbel between us (barbel at last light) all on the float. Great day on a great beat once again.

The last day of the season where the river was still rising when we arrived at sunrise where it peaked at 4.28m's at midday. Tough fishing conditions where a 5 ounce lead wouldn't hold bottom in some of the swims. Lots of roving and fishing various swims with one Barbel between us which was around 6 or 7lb for mate Nic.

River like chocolate and rising fast. Roamed with meat fishing close in, where an 8Ib 4oz barbel gave the only bite of the day.

Tough going, not a bite all day.
Water bitterly cold due to snow melt, from what we saw even the Kingfisher blanked !!
