Im fishing down Whitehouse for chub and barbel. But my main message is that two salmon just showed just infront of me.. About 8lbs each. The cheeky blighters must have known I was coarse fishing. Any way some on way up.

One eel

1 Chub

3 Barbel, 3 Chub

2 common carp landed
15lb 2oz
16lb 5oz (heavily in spawn)

2 Other

1 Trout, 2 Barbel, 14 Chub

6 chub to 4.10lb

8 Chub

River was rising slowly so felt confident. No weed or debris issue however the fishing was hard. Managed 3 chub from 9 different swims. Lovely stretch as always and well trimmed banks makes access easy.

Fished swims that have produced barbel in the past but they were not feeding. Lovely day all the same though.

3 Chub

4 fished, rived conditions perfect, probably should have had a few more, still a good first day on a great beat.

9 Barbel, 16 Chub

Lovely opening day on a slowly rising river. Lots of chub on the standard feeder rigs but the barbel were not interested.

35 Chub

Great to be back on the River Wye again, arrived very early with high expectations, the river was coloured and rising slightly, tried meat and boilie through fishmeal & pellet ground bait feeder or a straight lead, however the fishing proved very hard on a very shallow beat and a real struggle to get a bite, however despite moving @ six times perseverance shined and finally hooked into a nice chub of @ 4.5lb … anything was better than a blank, unfortunately the Barbel had other idea's!
Bankside access was good with grass cut recently, care was needed in places as the ground was soft under foot and treacherous in places from the previous two days rain showers.
Canoe traffic was non-existent but the few that did pass were very courteous.
Thanks WUF and the land owner for great access to a beautiful river with all the nature that comes with it.
Called it a day at mid-day and sped home to spend father’s day with the family.
