DS had 13 barbel of various sizes on float fished corn, rest on pellets.

16 Barbel, 2 Chub

The first decent amount of rain was very welcome but not enough to raise or colour the water, although very windy the sun did appear if only for a brief spell, despite this I was very pleased with my first summer trip on the Wye and did manage to locate the fish eventually in a pacey part of the stretch. Feeding Hemp, Halibut pellet and fishmeal ground bait through a swim feeder with a large banded pellet as hook bait this seemed to do the trick. Caught three nice Barbel early on between 4 - 6 pound and lost a couple more at the net. The canoe traffic was constant throughout the day with some very considerate people and other not so ending up in several broken lines. It was a nice stretch of the river with a number of well cut swims but very steep and in places difficult to get near the water. The location information was spot on , thanks to Wye/Usk Foundation, I'll be booking again soon.

Being unable to fish a stretch I had booked, I managed to get back on How Chapel again in the afternoon and after sitting through a thunder storm, lashing rain and lighting I managed to get 3 nice Barbel late on with the last looking to be pushing double figures.
