A bitterly cold day fishing very slow scratching for bites.. river was flowing very hard and still dropping .... 2 nice chub 4lb 11 and 4lb saved the day ...nice to get back on the Wye!!!!

2 Chub

Fishing was very very difficult with the river well up and running hard. Tried to hold bottom with feeders or 6oz leads but with debris and leaves coming down that was impossible, and kept being dragged into the edge!!!! My friend managed a very welcome 4lb 6oz chub, his only bite of the day. Me? All I could muster was 2 minnows!!!!!! The fish all came on maggots.

1 Chub, 2 Other

Difficult condition with river rising, 2 barbel around 6.5lbs on pellet.

Heavy overnight rain had made the River almost unfishable, it was a raging torrent! There was very little in the way of even moderately slack water in which we could present a bait, 5oz of lead was barely holding bottom in the edge. We managed to outwit one small Chub and had a very enjoyable day in lovely surroundings so will definitely return at a time when the river might be slightly less angry than it was on Friday.

Small rise in levels(6") but still running clear. Barbel between 6 and 8 lbs on boilies/pellets. Very mild weather.

Great day, quite a bit of floating weed.most fish coming at dusk on pellets.in up steam area. Lovely beat.

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

Tough day with large amounts of leaves in the river. A struggle in otherwise ideal conditions, still had a great time though.

First time on this beat and following recent heavy overnight rain we were optimistic of finding a few fish. Started at 10:30am on the lower stretch but conditions were difficult with heavy leaf debris making presentation nigh on impossible. We moved to the upper section in the slower flowing areas and SB managed a few small roach and a chublet float fishing maggot, with a switch to pellet late afternoon failing to increase the bite ratio.
RB fished caster to far bank taking a few perch, 1 chub of 5 lb and 2 barbel at 7lb.
Will definitely return later in year when water levels are higher.
A stunning stretch, well done to WUF for enabling access to another exceptional looking beat.

Rained nearly all day. Didn't effect the river levels which were very low. Fished the lower sections in several swims managing a small salmon and 2 small chub on a maggot feeder. Alternated between maggots and pellet feeder and fished till the light faded.
It's a beautiful stretch of the Wye but a word of warning the cows in the lower section are very inquisitive and were a pain in the ass. 2 even broke away from the herd and charged at me. Thankfully I was able to scale a large tree to escape.

Had 1 nice fighting barbel of just under 6lb and 2 chub. All on pellet, nothing on the meat.
