CM and GW second day on the Wye. Both had a good day with fish being caught steadily throughout the day. Fished from 11am until 6.30pm and had 17 Barbel and 1 Chub between us. Thanks.

17 Barbel, 1 Chub

River up and coloured. All fish to ledgered meat and pellet.

It was a hard day as the river was dirty and very fast. Fished in a back eddy. Both fish were biggish. One at 7.5 and the other just. under 9.

Water running way too fast only fished for an hour then came the pouring rain bit of a wasted journey, I wanted to fish the Irfon but again in spate

River rising all day but we managed 6 between us.

Wet fly fishing. Overcast with brief spells of sunlight. River clear and in good condition. One fish hooked but lost immediately. No sign of fish rising.

This is a very attractive stretch of the Wye but a long walk from the car park and a tricky one to find safe swims on, especially in the very high water conditions with large trees, branches and weed rafts coming down. We could only fish the near edge with 180g feeders and braid using floodwater rods and were pleased to find a few barbel.

Great day out. Some good barbel caught on pellet and feeder. River up about 1m and rising during the day. Great to see the smaller barbel coming through.
