Good fun at Wyebank today. 12 Barbel between 2lb and 5lb and a couple of Chub on the feeder with 8mm pellet hookbaits. Really nice stretch with lots of fish and lovely scenery.

3 anglers on the bank. 2 sharing a swim and rods. River just over the croys and running through fast (in my opinion and experience). Bank side paths well trodden with a few more 'dangerous' parts. Plenty of flat sections in the bank to fish from of various sizes.

Blanked. Fished 0930-1230. River up and very fast so extremely tricky. The banks were slippery and a tad treacherous. I fished groundbait feeder and pellet but struggled to hold bottom. I also encountered a lot of snags. Almost every cast I got stuck in weed and lost several feeders. Not sure if there is something I am missing here. A very kind gent came and opened the car park gate for me which was locked on arrival. Not as attractive a stretch as Home Fishery and Middle Hill Court but still pleasant. Highlight of the session was a Kingfisher.

Fished three spots attempting to locate barbel. Standard feeder and ledger methods. Very snaggy - better suited to float fishing but the river was high, coloured, and flowing fast. Picked up one small barbel in the swim at the downstream limit (just before the limit - the most downstream swim was under water). Caught a chub from the same swim.

Struggled with river up and very fast and not much bank accessible safely. All fish from the lower end.
