All taken on the feeder with pellet, improved as the day went on with the river rising

First time fishing this beat. Only 3 real pegs with the current low water conditions. Caught throughout the day on feeder and pellet. Ended up with 24 barbel between us but mostly small, in fact i’ve never caught barbel this small before!

Wyebank is quite clearly a boot camp for Wye Barbel juniors...for whatever reason they flourish in large numbers here and there are a few seniors in the mix too. No doubt most who have fished here and hooked into one of these pocket rockets have been surprised at the small size of the fish which in terms of fight scrap way above their modest weight!! We caught quite a few and may have bagged more but one rod spent what seemed about half a day trying to land a 6 pounder on float gear....On a less upbeat note though we caught hardly any small chub or dace which is very surprising for here....perhaps the Barblets have muscled them out...

Great day on the Wye, water low mostly small fish 1-3lbs, but late afternoon an amazing 11lb fish. All on the feeder.

13 barbel caught throughout the day, between 1lb-8lb. River flowing fast and clear but levels up compared to more recent conditions. Great little beat to fish.

A good afternoon and evening with fish coming throughout. Barbel up to about 5lbs, but, as usual on this beat, most were small. I lost a much bigger fish than those landed when the hooklink was severed on an under water rock. The chub was a good size at 4-9. All on pellet and feeder.

It's called catching not fishing?? What a odd, brilliant day that was! 36 barbel on the feeder & 10 on the stick float. Believe it or not I could of caught more! Most of the fish on the feeder were small between 1 & 3lb. The decent fish came on the float, barbel between 5 & 9lb including two big chub nudging 5lb. A truly ridiculous day!.... By far my favourite method was wading across the river fishing the stick float!

This is the lowest river levels I have seen on the Wye, low and clear. Overcast mild day. First fish took first cast before the feeder hit bottom! Small barbel and the chub through the day up to approx 3lb, witching hour gave 2 x 6lb Barbel plus 2 good fish lost in the weed. All in a great day put my mate into his first Barbel he had 10 by the end of the day.
