Barbel conspicuous by their absence. 4 chub from the inside of the bend.

Another good day on the Wye with fish caught steadily throughout the day.

Very difficult day for a River Wye novice especially running so high - not surprising the day after a Hurricane but still trying for my first Barbel.
Will be back next year to try again.

Stayed at Red Lion in Madley - cheap and cheerful with good big breakfasts and he even made us some sandwiches for the day free of charge.
Much colder than the previous day with high winds. River was slightly lower than the previous day. Fishing very slow.

River was coming down but only just within banks. Both fished with hair rigged pellet/boilie with 4mm pellets in PVA bags.
Large dead Barbel of 7/8lbs in one swim that had obviously been taken by an otter.

1 small dace, 1 small chub... emphasis on small here. River very low. Mr Richards the farmer has had an operation to tackle his hip, so walked around.

Very low river conditions and bright sunshine made for a difficult day. Baited various spots and moved around the beat trying to locate fish. Ended up fishing the deepest spots we could find with feeders and at about 5pm managed a 6lb barbel followed by a smaller barbel and about a 3lb chub just before dusk. Nice beat but tough conditions made for a slow day.

Tough day on a low river which was clear. 1 barbell, a lovely fish of approx. 8lb. 3 chub from 2lb to 4lb. A nice beat. It's a bit of a walk and the banks are a bit wild.
