Caught fish throughout the day. Great to see Andy the gamekeeper who always gives good advice. River in good condition and falling but still with some colour.

River 0.9m approx and brown, and dropping. Looked OK and started at a swim next to another angler who told me that these swims had produced a good number of barbel recently. Unfortunately not today! We both only caught one each and mine was only about 1lb ( nice to see though) and then nothing so we had to move. My next swim I know always holds barbel but again I struggled for the rest of the day with only one more barbel ( nice size approx. 9lb) and a chub . It did not help the sun shining down on all the river and straight in my face all morning . It was only when the clouds started coming over in the pm that I caught these fish but only over a very short period of time . Unfortunately I had to leave at 5.00pm and I know the fish often switch on here after 6.00pm.
Also the river was very brown and starting to speed up as it dropped increasing the boiling nature of the swims. This stretch is a pleasure to be on and even better in cloudy/wet weather , when the river is high( over 1 metre) and after 6.00pm!

Awesome day on the Wye, fish caught on the pellet feeder method, I love this place, stunning surroundings, only about 30 canoes all day not the 300 I was expecting. Best barbel was 9lb best chub just shy of 5lb.

An enjoyable day on a lovely stretch. Almost perfect conditions with the level dropping and good colour to the water. Slow during the day but a hectic final 90 minutes. Others were dace.
