A very poor day on the river today. River was on the rise and lots of weed which made for poor fishing. To round it off local canoeist decided to use the stretch for there launching base.
Overall the wife had four Barbel the best pushing 6lb. I myself kept on the move and had a zero catch return.(not heard the last of it)
I must say over the week we fished in many areas between Hereford area and Ross and we had a very pleasurable week catching lots of fish. Also lots of very small Barbel, around the 1/2lb mark which goes to show the river is thriving.

Second successful day as we caught the river at just the right time. Barbel were steady all day interspersed with chub, the biggest 5lb 2ozs. The highlight of the day though was watching a big male otter feeding on, oblivious to our presence.

Cracking day, river fining down a bit after rain 11 barbel to about 8.5lbs chub to 4lb 11ozs plus 1 salmon parr and a bunch of dace which were being chased by what turned out to be a 2lb 8oz perch. Usual swans and one cormorant plus a kingfisher.

We arrived at the lower end of the fishery parked in the lay-by and walked across the field to the river which was up and coloured. David caught two 7lb Barbel on hair rigged sweet corn and I caught two 11b Barbel on maggot feeder, also a Roach and a Gudgeon. Thanks Wye and Usk.

Arrived to a overcast mild day with the river carrying a little colour and looking in perfect condition. We started on the middle to upper stretch alternating between feeder fished maggots, caster and hemp and trotting on the pin, many small chub and dace present. A switch to pellet feeder at midday bought the barbel on the feed with several fish to 9lb falling to our rods, all were in fin perfect condition and looked like they had never been caught before, a solitary chub at 51b 2oz was a welcome addition.
A switch to big rubber lures during the last hour of light provided two perch at around the 2lb mark.
Yet another really enjoyable days fishing on the brilliant river Wye.

Started off in the top field and followed instructions on parking. However after starting fishing I heard some crunching noises behind as the cows and bull were headbutting my car with Significant damage caused to several panels. Shocking. Please other anglers beware here.
Moved downstream for a few hours and caught a couple of chub and a barbel.
I can't say I will be returning after having my bmw trashed.
WUF note: We were very sorry to hear about this incident. Cattle are, unfortunately, a potential hazard to both anglers and their vehicles. Our "What to Do" guide we send out with every booking advises anglers never to leave vehicles in fields in which cattle are present, even if that is where we have suggested you park. Cattle are always moved into a field without us being informed so please check carefully before parking to ensure that none are present.

Bright clear day. Water levels quite low and very clear. Dave's first Wye barbel at 6lb 14oz. Plenty of wildlife, a mink, swans, kingfishers, bats and a rare albino pheasant.
Very enjoyable afternoon. All fish caught on pellet.
