No fish today although conditions looked perfect !

Couple of hours after work produced a nice double figure pike on a mackerel tail from the upper end of the beat, lost a fish also. River low-ish and clear water, warm sunshine for the time of year.

It's a shame that WUF cannot offer a discounted half day ticket, as to pay £23 for 3 hours fishing seems rather a lot.

1 Pike

River clear and weather bright all day, so the barbel were difficult to tempt. However, chub kept the action going in all three swims I tried. Barbel to just short of 7lbs, several of the chub at 3lbs+. Most fish on pellet/feeder, with a couple of the chub on meat.

2 Barbel, 9 Chub

Lovely still autumn day but river low and quite clear and fish hard to find

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

Overnight frost, bright sun all day, low clear water. Thats my excuses for a tough day. I started in the bottom field and as expected failed to find any fish willing to feed, however a move back up to the island area in the faster water brought some interest and a hard fighting Barbel of 6lb 4ozs obliged mid afternoon. This was followed by a slightly smaller Barbel and finally a Chub of about 2 1/2lb as the light started to fade.

Arrived to a ground frost this was followed by unbroken sunshine all day, a lovley day to be out on the riverbank however the fish didn't seam to have the same appreciation for the conditions, river was low & clear. One Barbel & Chub caught during the afternoon & a supper condition 8lb Barbel put in an appearance last cast just as the last of the daylight faded. Always a pleasure to be on the Wye

Lost two barbel today. One near the net. Caught a nice chub of 4lb at dusk. Weather colder than of late.

First blank on the Wye! Never fished this stretch before so did a lot of walking in the morning. The sky cleared up and temp plummeted in the afternoon so struggled. Did lose one fish, either a barbel that went over something sharp or a Pike (which I think is more likely). Also fell over, got chased by bullocks and impaled myself on a barb wire fence! Not the best day! Stretch looked interesting and varied but hard to relax with the curious cows and bullocks in the field.
