Easy to find beat, drive through the gate to the hard standing to save your legs. Had my pb barbel 9lb which bent my rod in half. What a scrap. The other barbel were around 6lb and the chub 3lb. Wish I had a proper camera as a kingfisher on the opposite bank was giving me a fishing lesson. I do not know how he managed to fly after the amount of fish he caught. Great to watch these little birds.

River had good flow and was quite clear. First swim produced one 9-inch barbel! Moved to another swim in the evening and had three more barbel to 7lb 9oz and a chub of about 31/4 lb. All on pellet with feeder. Cleared up a tangle of another angler's discarded line on the bank - why are people so careless?

16.00 to 20.15 Leggs Meadow top end. 4 barbel in 6 to 9lb range released in landing net without removing from water and 1 chub in 3 to 4lb range on large luncheon meat chunks about 2 rod lengths out on static leger. Had fished for first 2 hours with usual halibut pellet on hook over catapult fed smaller pellets without even a touch. Thank you to M who asked for my paperwork and I hope his next day went well. At dusk it appeared a bat hit a pheasant flying across river and both ended up in my swim, neither seen to lift off.

The river was in perfect early autumn condition and the fishing proved to be excellent. One rod managed 19 barbel from a swim in the woods, best 8lb plus with all falling to pellet and feeder tactics. The other rod caught 11 barbel from swims in the woods and also later from the field below the woods and the best fish of the day at nearly 9lbs. Every swim tried produced bites and this was river Wye fishing at its best.

Great day, river in good condition, fished the Church Stream Pool, had 6 Barbel during the morning then the last 3 in the last 90 minutes. Most fish between the 5-6lb range, 1 of 8lb 8ozs and the best of 10b 2ozs. All fish caught on Elips pellets.

Nice beat with plenty of places to fish, all fish caught on the feeder and pellets river in good condition. I will book this beat again, thank you.

Day 1 was a blank the river had risen and there was lots of weed coming through dislodging the feeders and causing snags.

Warm, sunny and cloudy spells. River starting to come up, not too much colour. Still on the feeder with mag. Barbel up to 8lbs, most 5lbs upwards. Chub up to 4 1/2lbs.
got bitten off three times! 3 x by Chub and a Pike. Hard walk back up the slope again.
