Really good to be back on the Whitney Court beat again, it must be 2yrs since I last fished it. Level up about 9 inches and slightly coloured. Fished hallibut pellets in all sizes to take 6 chub up to 4.5lbs and 5 barbel up to 7.5lbs, all in tip top conditon. Wild life highlight of the day was to see a great white egret flying over! All canoeist were good, even the three in one canoe that all lent the same way to steer away from me when I stood up and surprised them. Yes they turned over and took a ducking! Great day on the Wye! thanks Terry for our chat sorry, it was late in the day.

5 Barbel, 6 Chub

A lovely day weather wise, however the river was still rising from the previous two days of rainfall. Fished with meat(tinned ham) and between us managed only five chub and two dace from beats three and four. Two of the chub were five pounds plus. We will return to this very beautiful stretch in an attempt to to tempt the the barbel.

5 Chub, 2 Other

River come up a little overnight. All fish on halibut pellet

14 Barbel, 16 Chub

Good ripple on the water and overcast. Trout feeding well, first time trout fishing for a 15 year old visitor and after a little instruction on the gravel of beat 4 he took 5 small trout and 1 chub all on traditional nymph. Well done!

One barbel at 6 1/2lb and saw 3 good salmon in the swim. Had a great time - fished from 10am untill 3pm and wished I had more time. Was sure I would catch more fish if I had been able to stay longer. Fished pellet for most of the day stitched to meat. Had 2 quick bites and one proper pull round.
Very pleased with the one fish as I haven't been able to get time off work for fishing. I will book again on a well looked after beat with good access and parking. Always good to fish on the Wye.

1 Barbel

The place I had earmarked to fish was unfortunately occupied by campers and children with canoes on the far bank so I fished another couple of swims with no luck. River very low and in need of a good downpour!

The river was extremely low and clear with very little flow. We fished beat 5 with both ledger and float tactics with meat or pellet as hook bait. Only two of the four anglers caught chub of 4+ lbs each on the bomb. These were caught early in the day with evening fishing drawing a blank. What must be said is that the Bailiff (Terry Ward) could not be faulted in any way and definitely gets a 10 out of 10. We will return!

4 Chub

Very hot sunny day worked against us. One nice 4lb Chub on bread.

1 Chub

Overcast day with little rain, river very slow and clear.
We both tried pellet, paste, sweetcorn, meat and still unable to get many bite. All chub were caught on the float and were under 1 pound.
