River about 1m up from previous day due to rain. Tried several swims with pellet and luncheon meat but had no bites. I can only assume drop in temperature + rain water had put fish off.

After a wet drive, it was a great afternoon in depths of Wye valley in autumn. Much better than work! 1 chub approx 3lb and a 4lb 6oz barbel on pellet from mid section.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Not much in the way of bites, just a couple each. One barbel about 5lbs and 2 chub up to 3 lbs. All fish caught on meat.

Conditions were a bit difficult. River had risen about a meter over night after the rain and was pushing through hard. Lots of debris coming down. Using feeder and pellet, managed to winkle out a barbel to around 7lb at dusk on the last cast.

3 Barbel, 13 Chub

River fining down trotted caster all day, chub of 4.08 and 2.12 plus dozens of smaller chub and some quality roach and dace. This is a lovely beat, we had the pleasure of being able to watch the shoot opposite in the afternoon.

30 Chub

Lovely beat with plenty of pegs, however there could be lots more cracking pegs dug out without too much effort.
Weather all over the place with sun, rain and wind, usual methods tried. 3 barbel in total, 1 very small at about a 1lb, 1 about 4lb and 1 about 7lb. Nothing else apart from a dozen very small chub and dace on the stick float on sweet corn.
The whole river is fishing bad at the moment and this stretch is no different. We fished from 8am until 6pm all for 3 bites between us!!!
Will return when the river picks up as it's stunning with buzzards, kingfishers to keep you interested while the tip never moves!!

The river was low. It was an overcast and misty morning but we had a sunny afternoon. We fished swimfeeders with elips pellets of various sizes, meat and sweetcorn.
We used various hook lengths and hook sizes. The only fish came in first half hour after that no one had a bite all day. Fished from 7.30am to 5.30pm how bad is that only catching one fish! It was a nice place.
The barbel caught was 6lb 12oz.

With the water level extremely low and the sun shining brightly it was always going to be a tough day, and so it proved. The few bites that came were short and sharp, it was clear that the fish were being very shy. Two Chub came on float fished corn but the Barbel were nowhere to be seen. Never the less a lovely day on a beautiful venue, thanks once again WUF.

2 Chub

Water very low. Beautiful venue, one of my favourites. Fished hard all day, biggest chub 3lb. Difficult conditions - extremely warm day with bright sunshine. Will be back!
