Strange day in almost ideal conditions. 3 Barbel from one swim within the first hour (started at 11) then nothing at all for the rest of the day, despite moving swims and trying different baits and methods.
Highlight of the day was my uncle catching his very first Barbel within minutes of his very first cast on any river - it was a monster at 10lb 11! Quite incredible.
Great beat with good access and lots of available pegs
3 Barbel, 2 Other

Fished the first field due to conditions with fish caught and a few missed in each swim fished. Fantastic looking beat plenty of swims - this beat offers something for all conditions. Biggest fish 10lb 8 oz to my mate.... all others probably between 4-7lb.

A great days fiahing on a stunning section of the Wye. River high and rising with a lot of debris coming down but still a good number of fishable swims. Fished the first swim in the meadow to start but moved further up after a fruitless couple of hours. Managed to find fish in a near side slack and caught steadily through the remainder of the day. Biggest barbel went 9lb 2oz.

River up and coloured, looked great but fishing was fairly slow during the day, the evening proved fruitful though with a few bites and barbel up to 7lb! Fished this beat a while back and really enjoyed it, the quietest stretch of the Wye I've ever fished, will certainly be back!

The tough conditions continued today. We had to wait until the last hour for bites, when RW caught a 6lb barbel and 4lb chub in the first swim.
