Fished pellet at the far end of the fishery.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished 4.30pm until 9.30pm. The river has a foot at least on normal level with colour. We fished groundbait feeder with pellet on the crease. Barbel to around 7lbs. Wildlife including buzzards and swifts topped by a dipper.

Another great days fishing on the Wye. Fished Wyebanks wharf swim from 04.30 till 13.00. We had 20 barbel to 8lb 1oz and 15 chub. Got snapped lots of times and lost lots of feeders but will be back regardless.

Second day of two days and a lot better weather for sitting on the bank. The river dropped slowly during the day and I fished two sessions, one first thing in the morning the second in the evening, thereby avoiding the canoeists. Plenty of fish caught with a specimen barbel at 10lb 5oz the highlight of the day. Saw Don on both days, always a pleasure. It is worth mentioning that a fair amount of work has been done to improve the access and provide more swims.

This was the first of two days on this stretch. Unfortunately didn't start fishing until about 17:30 but no canoeists which was obviously an advantage. The weather was foul, heavy rain with a very slight rise in the river level. It was a little above normal levels but substantially higher than last year. It was also rather coloured but not a chocolate colour just dirty. Fished the bottom pool with feeders, homemade boilies and pellets and landed several small chub and barbel. A couple of the barbel touching the 7lb mark.

I was surprised to see the river so high at this time of year and quite coloured. Decided to float fish for first half of the day catching several chub. Then in afternoon when canoes slowed down cast feeder out a few times to feed the swim then rested for 30 mins before casting out. Had a steady run of chub and barbel just into dark up to just over 7lbs and chub to just over 4 pounds. Wonderful place to fish in such beatific surroundings still good value at 25 pounds a day, I will be back.

Another great day on this scenic beat. Fished from morning till dark. Had all the chub on the float and one barbel around 4lb. Switched to the feeder later on and had another 7 barbel to 8lb 4oz, all in great condition and fighting well in the slightly heavier flow than usual. Water still very peat coloured from up-river. Snaggy beat at the moment, but didn't loose any feeders after figuring out where the snags were and how to dislodge the feeders when they did get caught up. A great day all round.

Fished from the crack of dawn until 9-30am when the amount of water coming through forced a hasty retreat. Managed six Barbel and lost a load of feeders. This is a great beat but needs to be fished at normal summer levels.

Difficult fishing: Wyebank is better at lower levels. Saw an otter and had a long chat with Don the owner. Would love to see one of the monster salmon that get caught from this beat. Take lots of feeders!!
