What a difference a week makes!River up and dirty brown. All part of the attraction.

3 Barbel, 6 Chub

Started at end of beat but river pushing through. L N had 6 chub. Nothing myself so moved up to bend still nothing. Colin came and put me in a peg upstream. 4 casts 2 barbel, 1 chub and a lost fish, that was it though. L N moved up but struggled. We decided to move a last time to get closer to car. The peg I tried produced nothing, the peg L.N dropped in was best of day, he had 7 barbel, 1 chub and lost a fish in last hour and half or so. Be careful of bank towards end of beat very slippy.

Influx of extra water had put the barbel off we think. Chub were very obliging once we got the feed in. One lovely water and will be booking again next year for sure.

First overnight frost and the barbel were quiet. The usual spot was throwing up a few to one chap. The chub were very obliging with two going over 5lbs. Feeder and ellips. Very well looked after stretch with strimmed paths and swims, having fished at Caradoc the day before it was nice to have most of the beat accesible.

Had a great day thanks to Colin the bailiff who gave us good advice on where to fish. Nice stretch of the Wye.

It will be good to see the rain this weekend!

Second day on Holme Lacey, river still mega low and today we had sunshine for good measure but as can often happen the barbel fed a bit better this time and we managed a slightly more credible 11 barbel and 11 chub again all caught on various pellets. The river desperately needs rain and then should fish brilliantly. Once again it was great to spend a bit of time chatting to Colin and learning more about the river and the fish in it. Finally for this year another big thank you to the W.U.F for making it all possible.

First of 2 days on this beat. River was painfully low and clear we fished virtually every swim apart from the deep water on the bend and ended up catching 3 barbel and 27 chub all on vvarious pellets.
