Another very poor day, as with Holme Fishery 4 X 4 essential for access. Should be more effort by the Foundation to create swims. There are plenty on the far bank. Very disappointed with the lack of effort by the Foundation. The road opposite is noisy and annoying

My nephew Josh, caught a 7lb Barbel on the 1st cast of the day from the Dead Tree peg, used feeder with bacon grill on a hair hook. River was running fast, so the bait was only cast 10 yds out. This was the only fish / bite of the day.

Nice beat in beautiful countryside, wasn’t as tranquil as I would of liked as road opposite was quite busy all day. Beautiful woods behind the meadow swims and at the end of the beat. Hard fishing today water was pushing through. Started in the second wood swim and kept getting snagged and reeling in blunted hooks. Having not seen the beat when the water is low I was unsure of what was down there. Lost a fish as it got in the flow, I couldn’t stop it and my line parted as it rubbed against an underwater obstacle. Tried usual feeder tactics and rolling meat all day throughout various swims but to no avail-water was too fast today and I was underprepared. My mate winkled out a pristine 6lb 8oz on rolling meat in one of the meadow swims. All in all I would like to see the beat on calmer conditions. The amount of debris coming down was surprising -even a whole tree at one point!. We was concerned about egress as the route down was steep , we was in a Renault traffic van but still managed to get out quite easily without any issue.

Fantastic day on the beautiful river Wye at Thomas Wood. Fished the wooded section with static meat offerings and had 8 Barbel ranging from 4lbs 12ozs up to 9lbs 10ozs..... Oh and the obligatory eel

8 Barbel, 1 Other

An overnight drop in temperature really killed the fishing. Sadly only the two chub were landed, one just shy of 5lbs.
