2nd day of the end of season session for the three of us. The river was falling still but plenty of water in so had to find the slacker water at the bottom of the beat. A couple of barbel to 8.5lb for our youngest member who was made up with beating his pb by 3lb! A tough days fishing but always good to be on the Wye.

2 Barbel, 1 Other

River still high and most swims unfishable. Had a Barbel after 45 mins and a Chub mid day. 2nd Chub came late on with all fish caught on pellet and feeder. Not an easy day but at least a sunny day to take in the surroundings and at least my season did not end with a blank. Stayed overnight at the Falconhouse B & B for the 1st time and can recommend highly added to which it is only a short drive from this beat.

Arrived mid afternoon not expecting to fish due to high level. Managed to find one swim with some slack and after an hour had first Barbel followed by another next cast. No action after that. Both caught on Double 8mm pellets and feeder tactics.

River up about 1.5m when I arrived and rose a further metre during the day and turned more and more brown with lots of tree debris coming through. Roamed around to find two barbel, both caught on pellets. Only a couple of swims fishable by the time I left. Excellent way to finish the season.

A pretty slow day, just 3 chub to show for our efforts - biggest was 5lb 4oz.

Frosty morning, the Wye looked great. Parked near the cattle grid. Had bites in all 4 swims. I think they were chub bites, just one quick tug. Finished up with 1 small chub on maggots.

Nice to have one fish in very difficult conditions.

Tough day with cold, rising and coloured water after heavier than expected overnight rain. A nice Chub came early on and a mid double Pike late afternoon. Love the venue and hope to be back in more favourable conditions.

Cold and still and the river was around 1.3 at Ross. Bread flake and cage feeder accounted for all 3 fish.
