a day in the Herefordshire countryside is special even if the fishing was a struggle

Found the river a foot up and with a tinge of colour. Expected the bright conditions to make the fishing a bit trickier than normal. Excellent days sport, stunning surrounding. Couldn't really ask for more. Thank you WUF

Thankfully we opted for a lift from the farmer (Mr Richards), that is money well spent as the walk would be a nightmare!!!!! we started off at the top end of the beat, my mate had one small barbel around the 4lb mark. I struggled for bites so moved had 1 chub around 2lb my mate had another barbel 6lb , I moved again downstream near the drop off point which really was the last fishable swim as most of the lower section is so overgrown with no swims cut out or any evidence of where they once were.. in the end I ended up with 4 chub the biggest going 5lb 6oz (p.b) my mate ended up with 6 barbel the biggest going 9lb 3oz (p.b) ...A truly beautiful place to fish with plenty of swims with easy access on the top half of the beat, the lower half unless you take a strimmer forget it!!!!!! .. Lovely days fishing with pb's for both of us , cant wait till next time!!!!

A lovely sunny day. Car parking excellent. A bit of a long walk for elderly carrying tackle but flat so not that bad. Steep banks but very good to find a place to sit and fish. Using halibut pellets we caught a barbel 6lbs and chub upto 4lbs.

Started well with a superb barbel of 9 lbs 13 oz on the second cast of the morning carried on catching smaller barbel up to 6lbs and some nice chub with a lull in early afternoon; plenty of bites towards dusk....also lots of false bites caused by fish attacking swimfeeders

Battled for an hour to hook an eel nibbling the spam, then tried pellet. No sign of a fish 8 - 5pm, then four barbel between us 6lb to 9lb 4oz - well worth the wait!

Feeder pellets. We were disappointed with number of swims.

Crystal clear water and bright sunshine made for difficult conditions with all fish caught during first and last hour.

Fished the meadow stretch from 3 until 6, lost a good fish first cast then had nothing else from the swim. Moved to a swim in the woods for an hour at the end of the day had 1 barbel of about 3 pound to save a blank! Both swims fished with pellet and groundbait method.
Thanks WUF
