Cloudy conditions, river normal level, many more swims available due to good swim clearances
Around 18:00 River turned a chocolate colour very quickly though river didn't rise and no rain? Something I've never seen before?? Was hoping not serious but still caught on meat and pellet.

A great days fishing in mixed weather conditions in Beats 4 and 5. Fished first light until dusk for two Chub and two Barbel, caught on paste wrapped boilie and groundbait/pellet feeder. River level dropping throughout the day. First visit to the Wye and hopefully not my last. Would highly recommend The Fishing Passport.

As always, a lovely day at Lyepole. One of my favourite places to fish. Weather was perfect/ Trout and Grayling were interested all day. I managed to get 2 lovely medium sized trout on the dry plus two grayling the same way. My friend also had a great day, with 3 Grayling and a Trout almost landed that shook the line off. Lost in the trees in this glorious place, cant wait to come back again next year.

Lovely rural setting passing through a farm yard to reach the river. Swims with easy access to the waters edge near the parking area(next to diesel pump) with beaches further downstream. I fished about 60 yards downstream of the pump. River fining down during the day, bites and fish coming in the afternoon. Fished feeder and pellet with varying hook baits. Float fishing would have been a good option as the swim had a large shoal of Chub present (only brought 1 rod).

Poor day conditions seemed fine but did not see a fish move all day

River well up from recent weeks though distinctly green. Weather warm with sunny periods. Quiet when I started in mid-afternoon, but then a couple of smallish chub and two barbel around 7 and 6 lbs between 17.00 and 18.00. No more barbel but a few more chub and a big chub lost. I stayed until around 21.00 but the day's activity had ended well before then.

Very low water levels throughout the beat. One bite, otherwise blank. A beautiful stretch of river, though, and I can imagine it would be productive after replenishment of much-needed rainfall.

Fist time on this beat. Lovely scenery. River was up a bit following the recent rain. Chub were biting all day (should have caught more), but the barbel were taken in the evening.
