Lovely spot and a nice beat for trying a bit of trotting with maggots. Most of the swims I wanted to fish were accessible. The weather was glorious with blue sky and sunshine most of the day, but perhaps not ideal for fishing. The glare off the water from the low sun was a problem at times. No grayling caught, just a small out of season brown trout. Really need to brush up on my flost fishing skills.

Good weather & conditions with river at + 3 foot. Consistent catching of chub throughout the day & 2 early morning barbel. Most enjoyable day for all

2 Barbel, 32 Chub

Nice day out on the bank, plenty of Chub. Best part was when my old fishing pal fell in up to his neck. Priceless :)

Great to be back, nothing rising all day. Hard going today, my banker pools seemed devoid of grayling, just small trout. Finally encountered a few grayling after lunch, all a decent size, sadly only 2 stuck both big grayling.

All caught on nymphs. Ranging from a couple of shotts to the largest at 14”. A few good sized Salmon were showing themselves in Llangoed pool and Home catch.

Great day!!! For me anyway. Caught steadily all day long…..but the dusk to dark hour ..fab!!!!!
Just goes to show every dog has his day!!! Conditions, swim , tactics and a very strange bait choice worked on a day to keep with me and cherish during a cold winter season. Definitely to return or……. Actually might just leave it as that …..Thank you Sugwas!!

Great day fishing on this lovely stretch of the Wye underneath Goodrich castle . Perfect weather, 14c so warm for this time of year. 10 chub between 3 to 5 lb and 1 barbel. Also, lost 3 barbel and 3 Chub. Mix of boilie and pellet.

A lovely afternoon on the Wye, with the river in perfect condition and mild, increasingly cloudy weather. I enjoyed watching a late small tortoiseshell butterfly in the initial sunshine and there was then a period of a couple of hours which brought three barbel and the chub. I had to wait until the last cast of the evening to catch the biggest barbel. All the fish fell to meat bait and feeder tactics.
