All small fish tough day nice place to be though few bites

My last 3 visits to the wonderful Wye resulted in just a baby barbel and 6 chub but hopes were still high given nice warm overcast conditions on what is a new beat for me.

I fished 3 different swims and managed barbel of 5, 5.5 and 6.5, and chub up to 4.5. I had the barbel on pellet feeder with assorted hook baits, and the chub on the float with meat and hemp. All in all a triffic days fishing on a beautiful beat when most of my changes produced fish. Thanks to WUF for making the fisheries available and providing a quality searchable website.

Really enjoyable day roving down the river. There were 3 of us. One on float and pellet and 2 on feeder and meat/pellet. The river was quite low and clear but still had a reasonable flow.
Most of the chub came to the float rod up to about 3lb. Biggest chub on the feeder was also 3lb. Sadly no barbel and no sightings either, however a surprise 2lb perch on pellet made our day.

A tough day. The barbel came spasmodically throughout the day but our baits were intercepted mainly by chub. All fish caught on straight lead and PVA bags. Packed up half an hour early, at prime time, when our PVA bags ran out.

One lovely Barbel and 5 eels, two of a good size. Beautiful location!

Fished in a couple of swims but the one that I wanted to get to was impossible with all of the canoeists coming through. I waited until 5pm and then had 3 fish in succession which I was reasonably pleased with. It's a lovely stretch of water but difficult to find an accessible swim in low water. I think it would be almost impossible for anyone not too sprightly on their feet so worth considering before booking!

To be honest I lost count, lots of baby barbel and chub and a couple of better barbel at dusk

River quite low, quite heavy canoe traffic morning - early afternoon, bites for static baits hard to come by, fish taken on the float to bread, after 6pm. meat on the lead proved successful, Barbel conspicuous by their absence. Lot of work being done on the swims here, much appreciated, thank you.

Fished for only a few hours morning and evening - weather turned hot and canoe traffic became heavy during the day. Just the one Barbel to around 6lb and four Chub to around 3lb, all to feeder and pellet tactics. Overall enjoyable day on a scenic beat, very picturesque at dawn and dusk.
