Rod 1 - 4 Barbel 7-8lb.
Rod 2 - 2 Barbel 7lb, 3 Chub.

1 small trout on maqggot - returned (only bite). River high but not too discoloured.

Started above Rock Pool and had a hen fish of about 13lb on back /gold Flying C. Single hook for easy release. Fished through Rock Pool with no result so went below bridge [Bridge Stream Fishery) and had a 10lb cock fish again releasd. Fished Scottish Dee last week for 1 fish. Grass is not always greener!

I came, I saw...and that was about it! Water was a bit high but nice colour, but didn't see a fish all day, which was surprising.

Fished lower stretch, caught 2 barbel, 6lb 4oz and 6lb 12oz on pellet It was a pleasure to fish this superb stretch of river.

River 2.5 feet and dropping. We all fished where we did yesterday. The bottom swims produced 6 barbel and 4 chub, all average Wye size and all on pellet. The island swim produced one barbel of 7lb.

On the water at 9am, 4 brown trout caught and released on a Brown Goldhead Nymph and 1 grayling caught on an Olive CDC. Later level up and slightly coloured but a lovely mornings fishing, the otter I saw seemed to be ejoying himself aswell! Left river at 2pm.

Second time on river Wye. Arrived at 7.30am. Temperature 3 degrees celsius. River was flooded, water level high and the speed super fast. 4oz feeder would not stay in the place where I wanted until hit some rock. I started near to Luggsmouth. I tried to cast to place where water flow was little bit slower. Stayed there till 2pm. Nothing there. Then I moved near to the fishing hut and finally I caught my first Barbel ever 5lbs/64cm. Soon after first came second, 5lbs/68cm. Later 1 chub. Then everything get quiet. Nice place, long walk from the carpark, but ok for me. If you have 4x4 you could drive near to the river I guess. Be careful when leaving, impossible to see to the right. I will be back one day.

James Martindale hooked and lost a strong salmon in the Wall Pool around Midday. The fish managed to get behind the Dinosaur's rock with the inevitable result!
River running high but clearing well-this week should be good if only we do not have yet more rain. Two salmon seen plus the Otter family!

A pleasant day out in Autumnal sun. Five barbel came our way from 5lb to just under 8lb from two different swims out of the three we fished. River was carrying a lot of colour and dropping slowly whilst we were there.
