Hot day and river running well but clear. Started at top end of beat with a couple of chub and barbel. Then moved to wooded mid section trotting float and bread flake to catch plenty of chub. Moved back to top of beat later in afternoon and had single Barbel which was best fish of the day at about 6-7lb.

3 Barbel, 20 Chub

Started the day on the very end peg on left bank (near sign) after the rapids. Difficult peg to fish (over hanging trees) but nearly a bite every cast which all turned out to be chub with the biggest about 4lb. Move later in the day to a deeper run looking for the barbel and fished the middle section. 6 barbel followed all on pellet biggest about 6lb. River looked very low but enjoyable day. Not many swims to fish but a small beat with enough accessible pegs and with some water I would expect the catch returns to rise but on this occasion 6 barbel and 12 chub we were more than happy with.

river low and clear and harder going than monday when we fished the same beat

14 Barbel

River was low and clear. we fished pellet on pellet waggler and had eight fish between us.T he fish were all in the 4-6lb bracket.
I would not recommend this stretch for more than two anglers as the swims were limited and there were 7 anglers on the other bank mostly either wading across to our bank were there was the most flow or feeder fishing again onto our bank. This meant that the limited number of swims were even more limited.

12 hour session mainly on bottom pool. Overcast mainly. Pellet accounted for all fish which were caught in faster water. Most fish were in the 1 to 3lb bracket and came around mid-afternoon but biggest barbel (5lb) caught early evening. Lost around 10 feeders/leads/rigs in either weed or rocks but c'est la vie with Wye barbel angling.
Nephew had a debut barbel with first cast and the 5 pounder late in the day - a good way to finish the session.
