VL - who had booked the fishing couldn't come so only 1 rod fishing. River very low, but there was some cloud today which helped. Caught barbel to 8lbs by dropping in here and there.

Same return as Aramstone really. The track is not overgrown and not a problem. Plenty of fish caught through the day guided by Adam Fisher. Fabulous fishery. Maps etc from WUF faultless. Thank you.

River low and weather very hot. All fish taken on pellets with swim feeder. Path along the railway embankment is a bit overgrown making driving a problem. Very nice water, a good day.

Very low and clear, but a cloudy day helped. All fish fell to feeder and pellet tactics. The combination lock on the small gate by the river is extremely fiddly to access - especially when the previous user has put it on upside down! Despite this and the sometimes uncooperative fish, we had a lovely day. 2 anglers on the far bank didn't seem to fare any better.

Excellent first visit to River Wye, river low, very sunny day. Fished from dawn to catch early morning feeding period. 26 Barbel up to 10lbs 8oz and 5 Chub up to 3lbs 5oz. All caught on pellet/feeder approach apart from largest Barbel captured by MS on 15ft float rod and 4lb line. Fish all appeared in good/excellent condition, no obvious spawning marks. Mobile approach targeting fast water areas, fish in pockets and work needed to find them. Thanks W & U.

The river looked good however I think that the fish had other things on their minds rather than feeding!

The barbel are still spawning (I observed this one evening on the camp site I was staying at)so I think they are two to three weeks behind due to the low Spring/early Summer temperatures.
A hot day and the water at normal levels. Fished the upper section with its fast water without a knock in three hours and decided to pack up and drive to the lower section as this water was new to me. On walking all that I decided not to fish any more that day.
