4 Barbel

River was up and coloured and had a decent flow . Had nothing in the morning other than a few unstrikeable plucks probably from small chub , but from 1 pm it kicked off with a violent wrench round on the rod tip signalling the barbel were on the feed. Caught chub and barbel steadily throughout the afternoon / early evening . meat seemed to be the tasty morsel of the day . The only negative for me on this fishery was the track getting to and from . steep barely describes the ascent/descent and I had a lot of wheel spin on the gravel track at the steepest parts and felt that this would be ok for 4WD but not a 2WD .but thats just my opinion. I didn't want to get stuck and find someone to tow me out so didnt go back the following day that I had booked. But I would add that the fishery is great and would ask if there was anywhere else to park and perhaps walk to get to the fishery ?

Block booked the Beat. River up 3ft and fairly coloured. We fished at the top end. A bit disappointing fishing wise as conditions seemed perfect. Looking forward to a week of fishing on this lovely river. Whitehouse is one of my favourite beats despite the mud bath through the farm yard !

Just tried for an hour this evening - water still coloured enough to make wading pretty treacherous, but I guess just about viable for fishing. I had a nice 11" fish from the Escley/Monnow junction pool, the kingfisher went past me and up the Escley, and I decided that was about as good as it was going to get today!

River high fished for a wee while but nothing saw two fish running.
