Cold day, river still rushing though. Fished the first field, for the first time. Met the bailiff for the first time as well, nice to see someone putting in some hard work in to making more swims. After all it's not cheap. Lost a few chub today, down to using too long a hair I think. Fishing for Barbel. Did enjoy it, even if the banks are still more than a bit slippery. Caught all three chub on luncheon meat. The first two were about 3lb. But at about 3.30 pm, I had my biggest Wye chub. 5lb 3oz. Really pleased. Ps I wish there was more parking available.

3 Chub

River was high, banks were dangerous too, due to the heavy rain recently, in fact I slipped in, it was a good job I had my waders on, and managed to grab the backside weeds. The track down to the car park was also extremely tricky…we had to push ourselves a couple of times to get up the hill to leave. The Chub were caught early afternoon, both on the feeder with a pellet…weights were around 1lb and 3lb, both in excellent condition.

Have never fished the river this late in the season but decided to give it a go as had a day off between work trip commitments. The temperature dropped yesterday for the first time this winter so expected the fishing to be very difficult which it was. But perseverance paid off as managed two chub at the end of the day on feeder with double 8mm red robin pellet on the hair. River very big but not roaring. Always a pleasure to be on the Wye!

Warning….do not pass into area ,designated as hard standing parking area ,unless in a 4x4 in wet conditions!!!! 3 hours of stress and sweat ensued!!! Towed out by a local,most appreciated!!! Decided against fishing and retired knackered and defeated????????????????

River very high again so limited options. The first spot I tried at the top was very snaggy and moved after losing all my gear twice. The best Chub was around 4lb+ and the Barbel a good 8 but didn't bother with the scales after a pretty hard fight in heavy flow. All fish on my secret marinated meat ;-)

Did not fish, the river was too high. H&S ruled against fishing.

River high and rising, no fish today
