Much cooler today with some cloud cover. River levels getting low and on this beat the bottom is visible throughout the stretch so finding the most likely looking spot is a challenge. Still managed 5 barbel to around 8lb , chub to 2lb feeder method.

Glad I had the foresight to go for the cooler part of the week when booking back in December. Fished mostly the Church Stream pool opposite the island, using feeder. Bit slow to start with, a couple of chub plus a small eel. Around midday the barbel moved in and fed until 2.30 pm. Nothing huge, the biggest around 6 lb, but fought well in the fast water. All took 11mm pellets. Later moved to the field down from the Church, where had a few more chub.

Great to be back on this fabulous river once again but it was a really hard day to be honest. We located the 4 swims upstream of the parking area but they just didn't seem right in the conditions

4 Chub

River very low, fish caught all day long to various baits and methods .

A little cooler than the previous few days on a river still low . The 3 off us headed for the wood section and struggled to get the barbel to feed. We did manage to winkle out 5 between us with one of us catching 3 of them . Not that this bothered one of our group whose only bite of the day produced a barbel of 10lb 6oz . All fish caught on feeder and pellets or boilies.

Although the river was low and clear there was a little cloud cover, which appeared to have the desired effect! Largest barbel was just under 10lb and largest chub just over 4.5lb - and was smashed up a total of 4 times on 12lb hook link! Started slowly but after that caught fish throughout the day. Everything caught on halibut pellets (wouldn't touch meat or corn), with the barbel being very particular - they wouldn't touch anything other than 2 x 8ml pellets glued to the hair. Anything smaller or larger was refused. Chub would take any size!! Fished the bottom end, just on the back end of the broken water before the bend. Casting has to be very precise as there are large weed beds and a number of snags under the far bank. Another fabulous day on the Wye and great tips from the bailiff. Have already booked my next visit!!
