Excellent Day at Thomas Wood Fished feeder with pellets. 1st cast 4lb chub...followed by a 2lb barbel…..fish fed in bursts...caught between 12:00 and 15:00 and then again from 18:00-20:00. In all 10 chub to just under 5lb and 14 barbel with three just under 10lbs between 3 of us! River looked in top nick!

Good day had by all 3 anglers, all caught from different areas of the stretch. Twait or Alice shad (not sure) on an 8mm pellet.

What a fantastic place to sit and wait for bites. Scenery and wildlife outstanding. Unfortunately despite what looked like perfect conditions we found it very difficult to locate and catch fish.

Only one swim accessible and could only fish one rod in the slack margin. Produced 1 chub and 1 barbel to 3lb. Plenty of knocks throughout the day, but no further hook ups. Fishing on pellets and meat. River very high and fast.

This beat was just as good as the day before, despite the persistent rain, but we still had three 9lb Barbel out.

An excellent day on another great Wye and Usk beat. The land owner even sent one of his men down to clear some of the vegetation from the bank side, which was very welcome. Imagine, sitting at your peg, admiring the Kingfishers, watching the Herons and Buzzards, then there were a couple of Deer having breakfast in a field on the other bank. Oh and then there is the amazing fishing! Thank you Wye and Usk.
