Strange day river coloured and rising only one fish caught

River still slightly high after heavy rain 3-4 days earlier. This restricted accessible areas suitable for trotting. Banks in may places are overgrown limiting access and large stretches are inaccessible because of steep banks and thick willows lining the banks. At summer river levels, some of these would be accessible by wading up or downstream from existing entry points.

I moved around and fished three different swims, near the top, middle and bottom of the beat. Caught chub in each up to 3lbs. Had one lovely 6lb barbel near the top of the beat (just upstream of the orchard).

Foam on the river, looked like some form of pollution. I have never seen that before in all my years fishing on the Wye.

Lovely days fishing, surprised to see the caravan occupancy allowed to fish the stretch, which was a shame.
8 barbel 15 chub between us.

Fishing Passport Note : It is mentioned on the web page that the lower field of the beat is let to caravans, so exclusivity is not guaranteed for that field but this usually happens during the summer months.

As always only fished the afternoon. Short section, good access and the picnic tables are a great touch

Another cracking session with barbel to 10.12 and so many chub all between 2-5lbs. Took the long walk over the hill and was rewarded with great fishing. Late afternoon moved back to top field and had the double from there with another 6 barbel. All fell to black cap feeder with 4mm feed pellet, small hooks, 14-16 barbless and a small hair rigged pellet.
