We arrived at wonderful Wyebank to find the river with reasonable colour and pace. With stunning scenery, blue sky and sunshine we knew we would be sharing the river with plenty of boat traffic but apart from a couple of guys who capsized (twice!!) everybody was in good spirits.
In the morning we caught some cracking Dace and a lively small Brown Trout but the float fishing switched off as the river started to rise rapidly. The water was considerably colder whilst wading and within a couple of hours boats were replaced by tree trunks and debris...
A switch to feeder found the Barbel on the move in the slacker water and we enjoyed some steady good fishing on this lovely beat once again.

Red letter day on the Wye, barbel galore up to 11lb an chub up to 6lb, majority of fish taken on big 15 mm boilies and various size pellets, we all fished from the woods an there's plenty of swims too, good access an the walk to the woods isn't as bad as people make out, take plenty of bait with you, you'll need it!!

We had an enjoyable days angling the river was above the Normal autumn levels and a little coloured and dropping. The morning session was good, pellets seem to be the only effective bait, midday sun bought a lull in the action, but the late afternoon and evening were much better, we finished the day off with a 14lb barbel!
There are 5 or 6 'comfortable' pegs on this stretch with other more challenging runs that need a rope. You will need robust gear if you are going to get these barbel out and a long landing landing net pole is a must.
PS if you have seen and rescued a 10 foot landing net floating through Ross or Monmouth please give it to a young angler who will look after it better than me.

Lovely place, tried a few pegs but we found the fish in the end. Barbel to just over 9lb. Seen several salmon jumping too, which is always a stunning sight.

3 barbel caught to about 8lb and one lost, all caught late PM. River up and coloured so really expected a busier day but enjoyable none the less.

A very poor day on the river today. River was on the rise and lots of weed which made for poor fishing. To round it off local canoeist decided to use the stretch for there launching base.
Overall the wife had four Barbel the best pushing 6lb. I myself kept on the move and had a zero catch return.(not heard the last of it)
I must say over the week we fished in many areas between Hereford area and Ross and we had a very pleasurable week catching lots of fish. Also lots of very small Barbel, around the 1/2lb mark which goes to show the river is thriving.
