Fished the left hand bank from 5 o’clock to 7:30 and managed to catch a barbel just as the sun left the water. It was the only bite, so a welcome surprise given the conditions. Fished pellet on a running lead.

Shortish evening session so fed a large shoal of chub from above dropping 6 mm pellets from the bridge and in extremely clear water watching the shoal grow and feed confidently. Entered the river level with the bridge on the far side and waded to the required point. Trotted pellets down the short run they were in and had 10 all over 4lb in 10 trotts before they spooked.

Moved down to the fast water at the second to last set of steps on left bank and trotted again picking up some more chub and two surprise pristine roach about 1/2 lb each before chucking my feeder as far downstream as possible in the hope of a barbel as the light faded but was only rewarded with 2 clonking chub which must have been 6lb a piece and a lost barbel (there is a big snag just as the fast water ends).

18 Chub, 2 Other

Dawn start today. The river is crystal clear now, lowest I have seen it. It was amazing being able to see all the rocks, boulders, channels and gullies such was the clarity of water. No wonder we all snag up. I did not take feeder rod to the bank. Fished a small loafer all day, wading in the faster water. Was only 3 foot deep run, trotting bread or meat. I must admit I lost count of the Chub tally, between 12oz and 4lb plus. I caught a baby barbel, 8" long, could hardly hold the little geezer, powerful. I also got myself a bigger barbel about 6lb. Lovely day float fishing. Plenty of canoes but all courteous and having fun, did not affect my trotting at all. In fact they avoided me as I was stood in the river. Brilliant days fishing.

River lower than ever and very clear. Weather mild and mostly cloudy. Started fishing late afternoon when most canoes had gone and stayed until curfew. Fished two swims but results were the same in both, i.e. innumerable chub bites, which I largely tried to ignore, but the fish either stole the bait or hooked themselves. A couple of smashing bites which I thought might be barbel turned out to be chub of only a pound or two. Low water levels must be contributing to poor fishing, but looking at my records over the last two seasons and this, I wonder if the Wye barbel fishing is in decline.

Lovely days fishing at Foy again. Arrived midday with my son, I fished till 8pm. Waded around and bounced meat or bread for afternoon Chub in the fast water, all a good size 4lb plus and in superb condition. Great sport. Then moved to the steps peg late on and caught 3 barbel, around 5 or 6lb each plus a few more Chub. Beautiful location. Really impressed with this venue. Feels good.

Conditions were ideal first thing in morning, catching chub between 2-4 lb most casts. Lost 2 barbel to Rocky snags before catching smaller barbel. Moved and fished peg under bridge for an hour catching 2 more chub. Sun came out and killed the day. Good fun as always
