3 Barbel

Arrived later than originally planned and found the river moving swiftly considering the lack of serous rain recently. Fished in the meadow swims and had one barbel and one chub not the most exciting afternoons fishing but not helped by the bright sun shine. Fish came to homemade boilies fished with feeder.

*NOTE TO WYE & USK FOUNDATION : On arriving on this section which I have fished a number of times I found a large about of rubbish. It was obviously from other anglers, it was simply a bloody disgrace, empty luncheon meat tins, drinks bottles and wrappers of all sorts. Initially I thought that canoeists were to blame but the nature of the wrappers would indicate other anglers! Also large quantity of monofilament line in one swim. I cleared all rubbish away and took it home but very disappointed. I would suggest a warning is placed on the booking website, if I was an owner I would be very alarmed and I would definitely ban any one found littering this beautiful and fragile environment!
WUF note: Thank you so much for clearing up. I hope the person who left it is suitably shamed. Its hard to believe this still happens

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished the previous day when the river was rising. This time it was lowering and dropped 1ft. Still some colour though. Fished the same method of pellets and feeder. E and S caught throughout the day at steady intervals. They left at 3.30pm for the drive back to Kent. Less weed coming down. However the barbel fought like tigers in the fast flow. Again one eel caught about 2lbs.

Difficult day on a rising river. Had one proper bite all day and managed to lose what felt like a decent fish. Also managed to lose about 20 quids worth of feeders, leads and hooks! Lovely beat though. Always a pleasure to fish a WUF beat.

Great day on the river. Pellet and feeder did the trick. 12 barbel in a rising river was excellent. No monsters but still very enjoyable for E and S. Lost a couple of feeders. Need to use 4oz ones to hold bottom with all the debris coming down. Once they move it then jams between the rocks.
Only the one eel.

Tipped with rain all day. Barbel first and second cast, then slowed down till after lunch. Finished with six barbel.
River pulling hard, banks slippery.

Just a couple of barbel each, but we all had a great day - pellet worked for us, looking forward to another go...

Hit the river at just the right time as it was starting to drop and fine down. The result was 16 barbel to 8.10 all taken on pellet from Legg Meadow, most upstreaming in mid river. Always enjoy fishing Courtfield but can't always count on a bag of this size.

River rising just a little and had plenty of colour. Pellet and feeder tactic's. B had not caught a barbel for 37 years. Filled his boots today though. 18 barbel and 5 chub plus 2 eels.
