Another terrific looking section of the Wye. We fished upstream of the steps to the upper reaches of the beat which I have to say screamed barbel but we didn't even have a twitch so we settled into the swims either side of the railway pillars and had 10 barbel out to 8lbs.

Recent rain had slightly coloured the river but left it no higher/faster than normal low summer level. A barbel on the 1st cast was a false promise of what was to come and we struggled after that. Half a dozen swim changes - amidst the showers - in my case failed to produce even the obligatory 1st cast chub. A return to my original swim yielded 3 more barbel including a lovely fish close to 9lbs. My friend stuck it out in his original swim but with no more success.
4 Barbel, 2 Chub

River very low, needs some rain. Only two chub. Nice beat, the path along the old railway track needs a trim, the brambles can scratch the car. Will fish it again when there is a bit more water in the river thanks.

Water low and warm, lots of canoes, not many fish. The path to the parking area on the disused railway embankment is heavily overgrown and in need of a trim.

A very nice secluded stretch of river. The access along the old railway line was fine, a little tending to the bramble bushes made it better. We fished downstream and baited with hemp and pellets and had one barbel from first swim and then nothing from a second.
My friend spotted some barbel cleaning themselves opposite one of the islands so we fished for those on 10mm pellets, just putting in 5 pellets after each fish. We shared one rod and took turns to end the day with 14 barbel between 4lbs and 6.5lbs. We cleaned lots of lice from the barbel we caught.
Nice wildlife including stoat, pair of kingfishers, buzzards and woodpeckers.
Always a good idea to put the combination padlocks on the correct way up so the next person can read the numbers easily.
Thankyou Wye and Usk.
14 Barbel
