Nil return.

First time fishing the Wye. Difficult conditions with the wind blowing straight in my face but never the less I had a good day on a beautiful river. I only had my rod in the water for about 3 hours but I managed a barbel of about 4-5 pounds and lost another using groundbait feeder with pellets and hemp and pellets or boilie on the hook, so a good first day and looking forward to the next.

6 barbel to 8lbs 3oz, all very good condition with no mouth damage. Legg Meadow swims with river at normal Summer level, fished into evening. Found several snags where before I found none.

Caught two brown trout (8" and 6") and a 7" grayling, all with a Parachute Adams on a light 7ft rod. Weather was overcast with the occasional heavy showers and the water was quite coloured. Saw only a few rises but decided to fish with the fly anyway. Would have had had about 8 if I had more experience.

Caught a 10lb coloured hen fish on a deeply fished fly fishing the far bank of the Abercymryn Pool in the evening.

J P fished 6.30am - 9am with double hander from top of beat to Chine with no takes. Water 0.6m and gin clear. No fish moving. I fished with guest G T from 3.45pm - 6.45pm for both salmon and trout on sub surface team with no result. The odd trout showing but of no size.Suspect late fish not coming through until next high water.

2 wbt between us, both caught in faster water on small nymph patterns.

5 chub 3lb-5lb and 2 barbel 3lb, all legered pellet fishing until lunchtime. Many thanks to Ian for his advice and help. Hope to get back later in the Autumn.

Phew, R ended today with 30 barbel and some lovely chub to 4lbs 2oz from Wyebank. Prob well over 120lb of barbel. The largest was just over 7lbs. They don't half pull your string in the fast flowing water. Pellet and ground bait working well. Used plenty of the stuff and casting on a regular basis. R went home very happy and with an aching arm. He will be back next year this time with his budding young fisherman lad. Happy Days

3 fish caught between two rods. All hard fighting rainbows taken on fly. All fish returned. Beautiful location despite the conditions. Will definitely return.
