Water running low with not much colour - overcast conditions. Catches from Middle Field Section, Access not really possible top end of stretch. Feeder and pellet worked best.

Great day river in good nick. 4 barbel up to 9lbs and a lot of small Chub. Upper strech not to many swims to fish so all caught on lower beat

Blisteringly hot day, river low and still falling, but with a tinge of colour still left in. Top section, above orchard totally unfishable and couldn't see a way through in orchard stretch. One swim by top orchard car park, the rest in the first meadow below the orchard - which is perhaps why these are showing signs of being over fished.
Fished 2 of the 5 swims in this meadow (09.30-16.30)and had a barbel in each (one at midday, 5lb, the other at 15.00, 6lb). Both fell to small piece of garlic meat with feeder fed groundbait, meat and pellet. Plenty of knocks in both swims on meat but presumably small stuff. No activity at all on pellet, no matter what size or flavour.

second day
went to orchard and top section AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AS THERE WAS NO ACCESS TO THE RIVER FROM ANY OF THE SWIMS !!!! so had to fish bottom field again .
all fish again taken on meat and pellet and paste and fish in good condition just a shame about top section as have had great results in past years

There are very few fishable pegs on the upper stretch - steep banks, overgrown and no access to the water

Fabulous day - weather hot but bearable, river in perfect condition, fish obliging. Had a look at the upper section but swims a bit tricky. Fished the lower field and found plenty of swims, starting at the beach at the top end and finishing further down where we had the most luck. The whiskered ones were in great condition and fought like demons - all were rested well and strode off defiantly. The best were twins (or maybe the same fish) at 8 and a half pounds. Plus a couple of chub to 3 pounds. It was my mate's first visit to the Wye - needless to say he's hooked!
