Some rain on arrival but a lovely day followed. river very low. walked down the stretch to find an angler half across the river fishing into the swims this side. Chose a swim upstream of this and caught steadily all day. beautiful stretch one of our favourites. Just an absolute pleasure to be there.

12 Barbel

Fished 5pm till 9pm. Once I worked out where the snags were in the peg, I had a nice flow of fish & bites! River still very low & weedy despite a bit of rain recently. I had 7 barbel to 8lb, should of caught more but I missed several silly bites. enjoyable evening after work.

Booking Office Note : Glad you enjoyed the new online evening ticket!

7 Barbel

2nd trip to this lovely stretch of water. Fished through the wooded section and managed 6 barbel the biggest of which was about 6lbs.
All fish came to meat either rolled through the swim or fished on a static leger.
Would definitely come back!

6 Barbel

Only managed to fish for an hour or so around midday as river was rising rapidly and becoming very coloured due to heavy rainfall upstream, I presume. Caught 3 wbt returned safely, the largest of which was about 12 inches.

Brisk sport all day from fast water swim by the Island. Barbel to 6.5 pounds and 4 smallish chub all fell to free- lined meat. Each cast resulted in a take, except when the bait fell off during casting. Difficult swim but interesting to watch the numerous canoeists, 4 of whom capsized in front of me! Fish did not seem to be effected by them, in fact several were hooked as canoes passed by.

Difficult conditions with low water in the usual swims and the floating weed menace. Just the odd bite to keep us on our toes and and very pleasant and peaceful day on the lovely river Wye. Pellets and feeder brought us some success.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Other was a small eel. All barbel were small up to about 2lbs. Barbel caught on single 8mm pellet just above bottom crib.
Floating weed was a nuisance.

After blank day yesterday heavy overnight rain lead to high and chocolate coloured river. Flashy caddis nymph at short range did the trick. Wading tough in places. Fish fat and feisty and very colourful. Happy man.

River very low, very clear and despite it being a Thursday their were quite a lot of canoeists, most of which weren't very good! We struggled in the day and caught only one chub until sunset when we picked up 3 further chub to 4lb.

As ever a great day, but the river desperately needs some water!

4 Chub

River extremely low and clear. All fish taken using french nymphing technique.
