A lovely day on the Wye. 3 chub taken on luncheon meat and one on a garlic pellet. Largest fish of 4lbs, all in great condition.

4 Chub

Note that the suspension bridge has collapsed and looks to be unrepairable. This means that it is not possible to fish below Beech Pool unless you can wade across the river. OK in the current low water, but be very careful if the river gets much higher.

Blank for one , 3 chub for another and 2 chub 2 barbel for me. Saw fish rolling just out in the river in the swim with the concrete ramp. Noticed it about lunchtime and witnessed it around 20 times. Too murky to identify whether it was barbel or salmon. No bites from them . Weather was pleasant and river running through nicely

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

The river was a bit above normal level but perfectly fishable, we fished in the top section in the rapids, fishing very slow as can be seen by the catch return
Method used fishmeal and pellet feeder with either a drilled 8mm pellet hair rigged or two fishmeal "flatz" superglued on a hair

This is a well looked after beat with plenty of swims to choose from. There were around half a dozen anglers on the opposite bank when we arrived. Many thanks to the bailiff who kindly had a word with two of them who were wading more than half way across the river and fishing in the water along the How Caple bank to remind them that they should not be doing this.
After they had been moved on we were able to fish these swims and these resulted in most of the fish caught on the day. Largest Barbel was 8lb.
