The 8 and half pound barbel was caught in a open cage feeder with a size 10 hook with a big chunk of curry powdered luncheon meat. The chub we had caught up to 5lb on all methods, float had caught the majority of the chub

Tough going on a very low and clear river, all decent fish coming from the slightly deeper pegs on the left bank.
What is it with Wye Chub? They’re either battered old granddads or flappy teenagers, with nothing in between. Managed to catch three granddads (all on meat) and a gang of teenagers on the float.
Not too many pegs on this stretch but it has got a very nice bridge to walk across and look into the river to search for features, spot fish or play pooh sticks. Would imagine this beat would be a cracker with a few feet of extra water and a pub in the field.
Best peg for me was the one with the curly steps – not only the easiest peg to fish but very close to the car. No fish in the swim but at least I hadn’t got far to walk back, and that’s what it’s all about.

River in good condition although now running clear,we tried hard all day but found it almost impossible to get a bite high volume of canoes especially up to lunch time it gets worse every year.

Fished beats 3,4,5. Beautiful stretch of river. 2 chub to 4lb, 2 x 3lb 1 at 2lb and the other all under 1lb. On pellet or meat. Roach and dace every chuck on the float. Didn't find the Barbel, but did lose one decent fish that was fighting harder than any of the chub I caught.
So glad I came here today, rather than back to upper Canon bridge, access to the river is great, and plenty of spots to choose.

Great day, 7 pristine fish caught between 4lbs and 8.5lbs in the morning and evening, sunny day so the afternoon was dead. All caught at the most comfy peg by the gate at downstream end of the woods.
