9 Barbel, 5 Chub

Worked really hard for the fish we caught, also lost a couple of barbel, river was low and clear and the canoe traffic was ridiculous.
With another foot of water and some colour to give the fish the confidence to feed properly this beat could be one of the best on the river.
Barbel ranging from 7lb - 7lb.6oz and some nice 3lb chub.

This was the second Day guiding R and D. Breakfast in the hotel was at 8.30am so we agreed to meet at 6.45am to see if we could winkle out a barbel before breakfast. We managed 3 by 8am so mission was accomplished, nothing large (all about 5lbs). After they returned from the breakfast feast,D said he had never seen an eel so we wandered off to a deeper stretch and within 10 minutes we had an eel of about 1lb so that ticked that box. We were just talking to Don and saying we hadn't caught any chub and with that the rod arched around and we had a chub of about 3.5lbs. So 6 chub later we were made to eat our words. The chub were quite large too, 3.5, 3, 4.4, 5, 4.9 and 4.8lbs. Then two barbel followed by 3 more chub to 4lbs 10oz ending the day on a high.
R and D thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks Don and W&U Foundation. Looks like the beat is pretty full for Sept good luck to those fishing there.

A bright sunny start becoming cloudier, water low and clear. Fished mid beat as before. I caught 1 barbel 8 lbs and my fellows angler caught his personal best barbel of 7 lbs 4 oz and 3 chub to 4 lbs. Not such a good day for me but still a great day on the Wye.

A very cloudy but warm day. Fishing very challenging but got 3 Barbel between 5lb and 8lb and nice a chub to just over 3lb. A difficult day but always a pleasure to fish a beautiful river. Canoeists were very polite and helpful today as well a big bonus.
