Endured a pretty tough day, the river was belting through and the difficult access along both banks meant swim choice was very limited. Managed a small chub as the light was fading.

Difficulty fishing with strong head wind.

River running very fast and coloured. Tricky to keep hold - using 4oz feeder with pellets. A lot of weed coming through caused phantom bites. Banks were very slippery following flooding earlier in the week, which made access very tricky.

Well, what a river. I had a look the day before, and it was just creeping back into the banks. Fished the next morning and it was 4 foot+ down. Full of colour and the leaves of an Autumnal storm. Trees and the spoils of along dry summer came through with every surge of force the Wye could muster. Fownhope delivers to those that venture into the wood swims, but this was a no go area, as the lucky stone was still being jet washed by the remains of the last rise.
I fished the top field, in the big corner slack. Fished to the edge of light and into another rain storm. My homemade pellet paste along with pellet, meat, and continueous feeders full of a good mix of a spicy Groundbait gave me fish up to 6lb. Really nice day again, but to be honest, tried a look in some other swims along that stretch, but it was all too much for any weight or hooklength i could deliver into the swirling depths.
I will be back.
