I have never seen the river so low and clear...tried our best but only 3 Chub to show for it

We loved this beat and will return, but only in mid week. The river was very low and the number of boats very high, we didn't expect to get anything because of the noise and disruption but were very happy to land a stunning 9lb Barbel on Richworth Xtracta Barbel baits before we had to leave for home. Many Thanks.

Tough day. Tried various baits and swims with not even a bite. Beautiful stretch of river that I would return to once we've had some rain.

Pegs dangerous when dry. Inaccessable in the wet. Sport from 5pm onwards.

Having fished this stretch on the Tuesday we were not to keen to go back on the Thursday. Conditions very much the same with low clear water and little flow, just one bite and one Barbel of 8lb 8oz to show for a very hard days fishing.

Arrived to very low river with very little flow but still had a great day. 1 small barbel about 3lb and 3 good barbel from 7lb to 8lb. Caught 1 at 7.30am and the rest after 4.30pm.
Really enjoyed it hardly any canoes.

First time I have fished the Wye and hoping that I had arrived for an autumn bonanza with the barbel. The fish were not exactly lining up yet as the river was a bit low and it is still not really feeling like winter is around the corner!! However on day one I had a chub about 3lbs and a barbel at last knockings of 9 lb 2. On day two it was very quiet until the last hour and a half. First fish was a 9lb 6 beast that fought like fury. This was followed by another of approx 6-7 lb and then another pull missed at the end. In summary a bit more action would have been nice but the bigger fish was immaculate and a real mike Tyson so it made it worthwhile.
