Returned after my 1st visit earlier in the week and took 8 Barbel to 8lb 3oz on feeder and pellet. Will back soon!

Arrived to find the river up and coloured and pushing through fast. We managed 15 barbel between the 3 of us, most fish caught on robin red pellet. Biggest around 8.5lbs. A lovley peacefull section of river to fish.

Arived to find river tearing through, looking like strong tea. We knew it was not going to be easy. Hard to hold bottom despite using 4 and 5lb leads. Took all day to catch a 5 lbs barbel.
Beautiful stretch -will be back when conditions more suitable.

River a very colourful reddish brown after the storms yesterday although dropping slightly during the day. Fished downstream of the hut to take a total of 13 barbel to around 7lb and a couple of small chub so really pleased given the conditions.

Caught 7 barbel and two chub, all on pellets. Conditions were initially against us, because of a massive thunderstorm early on the first day so we were more than happy to have landed this many.
Stayed at the Red Lion in Bredwardine, which was friendly, simple and comfortable.
The Foundation's service was terrific...thank you.
At Wyastone, a local resident had left a rude note on our car, saying that two cars are not allowed to park there...even though we only had one. The other car was nothing to do with us and must have arrived after we had started fishing. For what it's worth, I'd say there is plenty of space for two or even three cars.

Unfortunately the river had risen by approx 2feet and carried a lot of colour, the fishing was hard and only two fish were landed both Barbel the first to Roger and the second to Paul which weighed in at 8 pounds 12 oz and in fine fettle. we called it a day at around 4.00pm and went to the pub.
Fished Courtfield before and will fish it again.

Arrived to find the river roaring through and the colour of strong tea.We realised it was going to be tough to catch.Was using 4 and 5 ounce leads and could not always hold bottom.After trying different methods through the day we did manage to land a 5lb barbel, so all was not lost!
This is a beautiful quiet location-we will be back.

24 Barbel to 8lb plus and approx 10 Chub to 5lb plus. River up and very coloured following recent rainfall. A tackle eating area when you can't see the bottom!

River was about 4 feet up over summer level and heavily coloured. We fished off the bottom end of the island and had a fantastic days fishing. The fish fed all day and we ended with a total of 31 Barbel and 10 chub, best fish was 7 1/2 pounds.
Thank you to the Wye and Usk foundation and to Colin for strimming the swim.
