Fished on my own (Dad couldn't make it) and had another excellent day. Started at the bottom of the beat (just before the mouth of the Lugg) and had half a dozen chub and two decent barbel before the swim went quiet. Took the advice of a very kind gentleman on the opposite bank and made a move and hit the jackpot! Non stop barbel of all sizes and a few chub for the next 4-5 hours. All fish caught on elipse pellets, very little success with the larger sizes, but 2x8ml glued to a hair rig with micro pellets in the feeder did the trick! Now I know where the 'hot spot' is I will be back very soon!

Arrived 9am, hazy sun which softened with further cloud . Searched the stretch opposite the stream with an emerger (this bit looks so fishy but never had any luck) without success. Moved up to the narrow stretch and caught three lively 8 inchers on the emerger. Moved up to the run the other side of the A40 bridge, no luck with the merger, tried the duo also no luck. Returned to the stretch opposite the stream fished duo again no luck. Wind very gusty down stream by now, called it a day.

Caught 2 fish.

Fished by T aged 13 - one small brown trout on goldhead nymph.

5 chub between 3lb and 6lb. Mixture of float fished slugs and legered pellet.

Sun (2rods), 2 Barbel one at 8 lb 1 oz on around 6/7lb (not weighed), fish came at 17.30 & 20.00 Hrs.

Not a touch!

River clear and at a good level. Sew a few small fish rising and saw quite a few fry but nothing caught.

River 1' 3" on the guage. Nothing caught, nothing seen, nothing more to say really.

A and R had not fished the Wye for barbel before. Starting in the wood section produced about a bite on average every hour. 5 barbel were caught all between 5-7lbs . Three chub all about 2-3lbs. The fishing was not easy but they really did pull back in the strong current. A couple of fish were also lost on sharp rocks.
Moved up to the meadow later in the afternoon as we thought the fish might just feed later in the day. After about 1 hr, A caught a perfect 8lbs 15oz barbel and an hour later a beautiful barbel of 9lbs 2oz. R was soon back into the action with a fantastic looking barbel of 8lbs 4oz and a new pb. They had a couple of other smaller barbel so that was 10 for the day....oh and one eel.
