First day of a 3 day trip to the Wye (2 days at How caple). First time on this venue, started at midday following the drive from Essex. Caught 2 barbel in the last 2 hours 6lb and 7lb 8ozs. Both fish caught on feeder set up with pellets.

2 Barbel

First of 2 days on this beat. River was painfully low and clear we fished virtually every swim apart from the deep water on the bend and ended up catching 3 barbel and 27 chub all on vvarious pellets.

3 Barbel, 27 Chub

This report is for just 2 of the anglers fishing this venue. The other fish consists all of small chub, apart from the barbel we caught no other species of fish other than chub. The river was gin clear.

Arrived early. Walked the beat but conditions to low and clear. Did not fish.

Numerous small chublets caught on stick float. One 3lb Chub caught on tip. Excellent food and accommodation at the Pilgrim Hotel.

River conditions as sunday, but a bit more cloud. 1 angler fished trotted maggot all day from the concrete path to the right of the pump. Hooked 4 small barbel and landed 2 plus many small dace. Another fished concrete pier (croy?) to the left of the pump with pellet feeder for 1 chub, 4lb.
The 2 others fished the shingle beach further downstream on pellet/meat feeder for 4 barbel up to 3lb 8oz. Canoeists, courteous in the main!!! A very enjoyable day.

No fish caught on this day.

Hot sunny weather, river looked good with a tinge of colour. One chub 3lb in mid afternoon on pellet and a few chublets trotting. A pleasure to fish here!

River not as low as I was expecting, but it was very clear and full of leaves. Mainly fished bottom end gutter with klink and dink and caught a small grayling and trout, both fish about 10". No other sign of life. Some heavy rain in the afternoon.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling
