Tough day as the blustery rain set in. River still low but managed a Barbel and decent Chub from top Crib. Some Chub caught near the wood car park too.

A hard but enjoyable day on the wye, barbel took some finding but scored in the end, feeder tactics winning again

Did quite a bit of moving about between showers and found fish in several spots. There's a lot of water to explore and some nice fish to catch.

A very enjoyable day getting to know a new beat. There are some really nice looking swims and although I’m generally not shy of wading through brambles and creating swims, I have to agree with previous posters, that some of the famous pools are simply unfishable. Perhaps this is because they aren’t in regular use, so even if they’re cleared, they quickly become overgrown again. Some of the more easily accessed swims may also be unavailable if an angler is on the opppsote bank.

So I stayed in the few well-used swims and caught several small barbel (8-10ins) and one decent one (7lb) in the island swim and then 3 more (3-5lbs) to finish the afternoon in a calmer swim further upstream.

Thanks WUF for a great day.

Given that I had booked on the brightest day of the week on a beat that I have never fished before I wasn't too optimistic but after lunch I made my way to the river and set up on a stick float and centrepin reel and within half an hour I had a barbel of about 6lb on the bank a short time later I caught two chub to 4+3/4lb before the weather cleared and got even brighter.went on the feeder with pellet for the last hour and had another barbel over 8lbs.A beautiful stretch of river and being mid -week there were only a couple of anglers on the far bank.Barbel and big chub on the 'pin', can't beat it!

Short but interesting beat. Definitely requires a little vegetation clearance to create at least one more swim on the RH bank. This could be achieved fairly easily without devastating the local flora and fauna.
