What a beautiful fishery and river, I love this part of the world! However, it was a bit of a tough day, but we managed to grab a few using feeder tactics and either 14mm Pellet on the hook or two 8mm Cheesy Garlic Pellets.

An evening visit after work from 5.15pm to 7.00pm. Surprisingly mild for October. Conditions almost perfect but no sign of any surface activity at all. 5 fish landed from 12 to 15 inches plus missed a few sharp takes. Used an Intermediate Airflo polyleader to bed the flies a foot or so down.

Water looked good but could only tempt 2 barbel. The larger (6lb) had a slightly deformed spine, a deformity I have seen in several barbel throughout the South of England as well as on the Wye . I have no idea what causes it.

River has a good level and flow. The barbel fed early and late, first fish coming to the first cast of the day from the section upstream of the wood, then the other 5 coming in the last 3 hours from the 1st field downstream of the wood. Chub caught at various times during day.
All fish caught on either pellet or 12mm boilee ledgered with PVA bags of pellet.
Best barbel was 9lb and best chub was 4lb 2oz. Very enjoyable day.
