Another Christmas trip to Pontithel, river was high but not too bad. Fished as best I could but no joy. I like this stretch
but hate the parking by the busy road.

Fishing for Barbel, we had one bite all day (between us). The river was very high and very fast.

unfortunately a blank- cold wind and high water!

Water high and pushing through all the debris from yesterday’s storm. Virtually impossible fishing conditions, all manner of trees branches logs etc coming down river dragging the line, huge numbers of leaves. So despite me walking my gear downstream as far as i could to get out of the worst flow I abandon fishing after 2 hrs. Usually i say a bad days fishing is better than a good day in the office but today challenged that statement.

river was up several feet from yesterday, so abandoned the prospect of fishing, licking our wounds, drove home after a
fruitless couple of days..

another one down to experience, had quite a few of those unfortunately on the wye, going to ask for a wash off for the second day, see how we get on..

gales just like our last visit must be cursed, tried fishing behind cover, very difficult to present a bait..no bites all day..

Beautiful sunny winters day, two Barbel falling to bollie and pellet set ups.

Lovely day to be out on the river, tried several swims but could not get a bite, river was up & pushing through fast. Found a nice slack just above the island which l thought would contain fish but proved fruitless. Always nice to be on the Wye will return when conditions are more favourable.
