River 1ft 5" holding all day. Contact with a fish in the Rectory pool (standing on the rock at the top and took in the fast run below) but it fell off after 30 seconds or so.

Great day in Wales on the amazing river Wye, sadly the fish failed to play ball.

Fished the wood section had three Barbel 7lb, 9lb and managed my second wye double 10lb 2oz it’s taken 7 years but worth the wait. All on halibut pellet.

3 Barbel, 1 Other

Fished 9am to 1pm from middle car park. All fish three-quarters to pound and a half. All but one took size 12 stick fly fished slowly. Great few hours fishing.

6 Trout

No fish to report but a good day nonetheless. Night stopped in the Castle Hotel in Talgarth, very reasonable.
Thanks WUF.

6 Barbel, 2 Pike

Nice level in the river, which was about 30cm up on the summer average, I was fishing feeder and pellet with various baits, no fish but lost at least 6 feeders, might be better when you can wade with a float and a moving bait rather than a static one.

One fish lost.

My guest Simon Toms caught a 11lb coloured fish from the Chapel Catch on his first trip to the upper Wye. One happy man.
I on the other hand got chased by cows and fell down the the bank giving me a rather impressive bruise!
