Very wet day. Lost 2 caught 3 3, 7 & 8lb. Fished small boilies over pellet & hemp. Would have caught more if the weather would have let up a little, rained solid all day. Had stretch to myself, fished the end crib in the woods section.

Low cloud, mizzle, rain and bright sunshine. A low sluggish river - bites difficult to come by. One small barbel late afternoon during a lull in the onslaught of passing canoes. We have never seen so many! - in the main courteous and careful of our lines but sadly anti-social behaviour from the minority spoils the experience. The quiet spells though are glorious, we watched deer in the cornfield and were delighted when a Kingfisher alighted briefly on my daughters rod.

Another outstanding beat.
Access to some of the swims was a bit steep but I would suggest if anyone struggles a bit getting up and down to the river take some rope with you. The swim just inside the wood is easily accessible though I managed to blank there !
Despite a rather rainy day it was still enjoyable.
The only down side was that I had to get my loppers out to cut back the brambles which would've put nasty scratches down our cars.
We have spent the week at The Falcon House B&B at How Caple
which I always recommend when we have our few days on the Wye. It's central to most parts of the middle Wye. It's very reasonably priced , very friendly hosts and best of all great breakfasts !!

River in good condition and fish obliging. Lots of weed floating down caused a few problems as did some snags. Sweet corn proved to be the best bait

Only fished for 4 hours, had to be someone else but had two small barbel.
Feeder and pellets caught the fish.
Very dodgey driving back up the field on the way out, wouldn’t want to do this in the rain.
