Again the river still had some extra water running through it from the down pour a few days earlier, was still very much fish-able but looking at the banks the fish here see a lot of bait and pressure as they are heavily worn out. we had 2 barbel out about 8lbs each and both got snapped off a much bigger fish, soon as we hit them they went straight into the extra flowing water and then we stood no chance. Would fish this stretch again but would look to fish it when its not been fished for a few days as it seems to get booked everyday. Lots of swims available but be prepared to walk on this stretch as you get a lot of water for your money.

First time on this stretch and it was pushing through following the earlier rain and very coloured. We wandered the stretch trying to locate some fish, but to now avail. Loved the stretch and will return at some stage.

Caught from five different swims covering the whole beat.
Barbel to 6.5lb chub all between 3 and 4 lb. A good day.

Nice to be out on the river again. River is still coloured. Due to heavy afternoon rain fished only until 15:00. Managed to catch 1 Chub. Pellet and feeder method.

Day two of our wye adventure, after a prolific day on lower canon bridge saw a change in the weather/pressure and as a result, although all the swims in the first field looked like they would hold plenty of fish only 3 chub to me and 2 barbel and 2 chub for my friend with a stonking 16 hours on the river with a gap at midday. We felt like we really had to try every swim in order to catch. With no indication of fish coming in the first 45 minutes in each swim we moved up and down the bank in order to locate the fish.
All in all a cracking couple of days and more fish than we have ever caught before on our local river the Derwent making us thirsty for more Wye action sooner rather than later. Thanks WUF.

A good day on this well maintained fishery. A nice Barbel of 8lbs 8oz and 2 small ones around 2lbs each. Plenty of Chub feeding all day long'mostly around 3lbs each.
Lots of wildlife sightings including Kingfishers, Cuckoos, Buzzards and an Otter. Looking forward to returning in September.

River was still high and fast. Had to use heavy feeders. However we enjoyed the peace and quite, also noted that the swims had been strimed out which made our life easier.
