Just the one pike was caught approx 5lb. Think the flow was a bit strong after the rain fall on Thursday but a lovely place and will be going back.

River high and coloured - very uneventful but not unexpected. But had to get my American friend on the Wye to say that he had at least tried, though when he is back in Idaho fishing for Steelheads, I'm sure it may be a morning that he quickly over looks. Next time!

A good day on the river, sunshine, mist rising and frost in the fields when I started. Kingfishers and dippers were flying low over the water and buzzards overhead in this beautiful valley. The fishing was slow, but very rewarding and a perfect morning was completed with the landing of two very nice grayling of just over a pound each. The afternoon brought rain and a couple more fish before the gathering gloom meant it was time to return to the car and start the journey home.

Blank session, river in perfect condition but no catch.

Very cold when I first arrived -3 degrees everything was covered in frost so knew it would be slow,tried meat in all the usual spots but nothing returned to the car for a coffee and a warm. Started fishing again about 9.30am chub first cast worked the beat again and found the fish in a more cooperative mood.

Lovely day, great bit of river, but alas no fish caught.

A few inches of water on and pushing through, started on the Wyebank pool and tried several methods and baits before finally taking a 2.5lb Chub to trotted maggot. An hour later an oos brown trout of 1.5-2lb took feeder fished caster before the swim went dead. A while later I spoke with Don and he suggested trotting a swim just down from the steps where the slow and faster moving waters meet, I did manage a 2lb chub late on but no other bites to feeder or float.

Arrived to a perfect river, 10 deg and 2 foot on and dropping.
Fished 3 different swims and had fish out of all of them. Had 3 good Barbel, one going 9lb all on maggots. Plus 5 good chub plus a few chublets. Lost 2 Barbel on bedrock. Wonderful day, the big barbel came at 4pm just as the light was going.

3 Barbel, 5 Chub

River had dropped since Sunday and was slower and better colour. Weather was mild but a strong downstream wind made for some difficulty. Had fish sporadically through the day, 2 barbel were 4lb and 6lb, all fish were caught on meat with pellets and meat in feeder. Decent autumn day. Fished in first field on the inside of main flow.
