Really excellent day. Thought we would be washed off by 4m flood but the river dropped enough for us to fish. Forget what others have said about the fishery being inaccessible. There are plenty of really nice swims that suit all water levels. 4 of us only covered 1/3rd of the water we had available to us.

What a difference a day makes ! River falling rapidly and the barbel were on the feed, 12 Barbel to 10lb 10oz and a single Chubb bang on 5lb. Pellet and feeder accounted for all fish, a very big thank you to Stefan who made sure we were on the fish and knew how to tempt them.

1.5m up and no beach at the lower end was visible. Fished as many pegs as we could from the last swim upto the bridge with standard feeder tactics for no bites/takes for either of us.
Moved to croys late afternoon and no bites there either. River/conditions looked perfect. We either didnt find them or the Barbel/Chub, and even the eels, where having a day off!
Will be back to try and crack this beat.

Great day as always on the Wye ,had to wait a bit longer for bites than on previous visits but worth the wait,biggest Barbel today was 8 lbs 14 oz and the best Chub going 5 lbs 1 oz,plenty of wildlife around with Kingfishers ,Red Kites Buzzards ,Egrets and Woodpeckers spotted along with numerous others

Arrived at 3pm to fish into dark. River high, coloured, and fast flowing. Targeting barbel with feeder and ledger tactics but only managed to catch one decent chub 4lb+.

1 Chub

Caught the barbel within 15 minutes of first cast - then chub all the way. Maybe the water temperature dropping was to blame?

A difficult day as the river was still three foot up on normal so we couldn't find many spots to be comfortable as we were unsure what we were fishing into. Managed just one barbel at last knockings, my friend also had one on but unfortunately lost it before netting. A very well kept stretch with good access points

The river was dropping after a 3.5m high making the fishing quite difficult. This was compounded by the lack of access to the waters edge with only a few spots being fishable. There were no swims cut out or any access to the waters edge on well over half of the fishery, despite there being a number of good looking spots that were simply inaccessible. We reserved the stretch exclusively between three anglers which was expensive for the limited fishing on offer. It may have been better in lower water conditions when a large beach section would seemingly be exposed.

River had come up and was in full spate. Had to sit at top of the bank watching huge amounts of trees and debris float past.
