Arrived at first light and was into the barbel immediately. 3 nice ones around the 9 pound mark and one smaller around 7. All chub the usual 3 to 4 pounders. River was very coloured and rising. Had to leave by midday as river became un-fishable. When trees and dead sheep were getting washed downstream I thought enough was enough.

River rising through the day. Feeder fishing was difficult going and didn't catch. Switched to float with meat and caught 1 barbel 6lb and 1 chub 2lb. Access is good.

started fishing around 10 am with river rising started to catch quite well but by 2 30 pm the river was 4 feet up and within the next hour could not hold bottom with 8 oz lead so called it a day ,shame.

River was mid-height, and rising due to rain. Fed plenty of loose feed throughout the day and managed to promote some bites by chopping and changing hook baits. Other was a 2-3lb eel. Track up the hill was tricky in an SUV.

Another great session on this beat , the day started slow with 2 chub caught 100 yards up from the car park , then moved 500 yards downstream and found a few barbel and chub , we met Stefan on the bank who has done so much to the bank clearing swims and putting in ropes , must of our fish were caught on plain meat and pellets , it was a great autumn day on the wonderful river Wye !

A slow day rewarded with 2 late Barbel, worth the wait.

My third and last day, water levels were high, lots of debris from the overnights conditions, but stuck with the olive nymphs and netted another grayling (lost another). Great location to fish from, easy wading and hardly any trees, weeds or bushes.
