River was slightly up and nice colour. Fished with rolling meat/cheese. Good sample of fish including 4lbs 2oz, 4lbs 8oz and 4lbs 12oz. Fished one rod for barbel but no takes. Enjoyed my day, thanks.

Awesome trip! First visit to the Wye, river in perfect condition, dropping level with some colour still. Fished for two days 20/21st of August, mainly used pellet fished on feeders with pellet/hemp ground bait. Had three eels on pellets as well? Good stamp of fish, barbel 5lb to 7lb best 9lb 6oz, chub 3lb to 4lb best 4lb 12oz. Lots of salmon jumping along the stretch. Very snagey, lost alot of tackle so bring plenty of feeders! Got cut off regularly so lost a few as well. Lovely peaceful countryside setting, enjoyed a lot. Many thanks Wye and Usk Foundation.

Disaster struck before a line was cast as AL lost his rod into the Wye. With rod resting against rod rest AL went to the top of the bank to sort out other kit and came back minutes later to find rod rest in water and rod gone! Despite frantic dragging of the river no rod was retrieved. If anyone pulls it out its a Daiwa Proteous Barbel 2134TT 1.75TC(I think) with Cardinal reel attached. Spare rod was used but nothing was caught. JA managed 4 eels on the feeder, on meat and pellet. River was fining down and a lot of canoeists went by.

The river was holding just enough colour for the barbel to feed and we managed a few. Didn't fish on into the evening and probably would have caught more if we had stayed. Total 4 barbel, 2 chub.

Good conditions being overcast and warm. We saw a few fish rising, a lovely beat, more water than we could fish in the day. We caught 9 small wbt, the largest being around 9 inches. All fish returned.

River high and coloured. Arrived at dawn and fished until dusk. Fished muddy bank just downstream of Marl Bed. Slow start but then caught steadily throughout day - 8 barbel to 9lb 6 oz, 6 chub to 4lb and 1 2lb eel. All fish caught on halibut pellets fished over hemp. Enjoyable day!

Fished from 6PM to 9PM, very few rises so fished the faster more oxegenated waters with GBPTN, Czech nymph style, caught a beautiful WBT of 13". Water quite low, warm and overcast weather. Lovely evening.
