One good take at the start of the beat by the bridge, nothing after that. The river was in flood, fast flowing, this and a fallen tree across the river just up from the bridge made wading difficult and in some places impossible.

We only fished to the weir as the river was too deep after it, tried to go through the field, but the gate would not open and the there was an electric fence across it!

Lovely spot, will return, hopefully conditions will be better.

Rainy wet conditions. Slippery banks. Chocolatey coloured water making the fishing hard with the fast current. Margins were the only area which were fishable using a 5oz lead in the slack to just about hold bottom. Lovely peaceful day for our first time on the wye. All fish caught on pellets.

Outstanding day in fast rising coloured water and a murky rainy warm day. River 3 feet up and another 2 feet up by the end. A fair amount of grass made life difficult So different from last weeks trip where it was all chub and that's what's great about fishing. Largest must have been a double and caught as I packed up in the 15 minutes it took to land it meant I left as dark was falling. All fish on pellet caught close to the bank nearest swim to the car park which made it all really easy.

Its not always like this ! All the other anglers caught well as well making it a big total for the beat Must have been 20 fish plus .

Two of us fished. Barbel caught on a variety of baits. River about 1.8m and riding with some colour, it fished really well.

A really nice beat on the lower Wye with several decent swims towards the top end of the beat. Feeder fished mostly and rolled some meat which resulted in the barbel. We will be back.

River high and only fishable on Lechmere side and very limited in terms of accessible swims, barbel between 5lb-7lb

Typical Wye as turned up to find River over a metre up and trees and all sorts flowing down river including Fire Extinguisher which was a first !
Fished bottom field trying to identify some slacker water and settled there , finished with 6 Chub biggest 4.10 and new Wye PB Barbel at 9lb 4oz , Biggest Chub on Rolled Meat and all other fish on Feeder fished Meat close in .
Although the River was on the rise all day and it heavily rained from early afternoon I had a great day on a new beat , will definitely return, Thank you Wye and Usk for another memorable day !
