No fish caught

We had 3 barbel to approx. 10lb. A pike of 16 1/2 Ib and a small chub. Lovely quiet beat.

Had tried to fish this beat last summer but due to low river conditions and streamer weed unable On our return found a very different river snow melt had the river up but did catch 3 chub to around 4lb.

3 Chub

Our first time on Fownhope and we arrived to find the river very high,fast and cold.

Having made a long journey we decided to give it a go with "Somehope" but not surprisingly struggled and only managed to catch just one good Chub just shy of 5lb and 3 small ones in the 8oz bracket.

But no complaints from us after reading the efforts of M.W. of Stalybridge on March 3rd...That must have been a nightmare of a trek in the snow to catch a Chub...but demonstrates the passion some coarse anglers have for fishing on the Wye. Bravo guys!!

1 Chub, 3 Other

Two chub to red maggot feeder, very wet day, rising river. Very muddy, land owner ground workers with jcb made it worse around car park area, everyone on the beat left before dusk, conditions were getting dodgy for getting up the hill through the field off the fishery, very muddy.

2 Chub

River rising, didn't fish it

Managed to fish before river came up, no joy

In flood conditions there are very limited swims for the number of rods allowed

River brown and rising. Total blank.
