Arrived to bright, hot conditions at a very easily accesible section. Took a while to walk the stretch and easily find all the cut out swims. Opted to fish the upper part of the beat close to shed, deeper water under your rod tips here. Conditions weren't favourable for barbell but as always with the Wye valley, who cares!! Finished the day with 3 barbel and 3 chub, all on meat. Will be back to explore more beats very soon. Thanku WUF.

The river was at normal summer level and the fishing was slightly more difficult than normal as all day lots of weed was coming down, probably due to cutting going on higher up. The better barbel went over 8lbs and chub to 4lb. My son had all the barbel on ledgered pellet. I caught a few fish trotting tares and feeding hemp and I had a nice barbel on paste in the evening that weighed 8lb 2oz. All in all a good afternoons fishing on a warm sunny day, many thanks.

Difficult day. Lots of weed coming down the river and only 3 chub late on saving the day.

Another pleasant afternoon on the Wye. Water up about a foot with a tinge of colour. Started about midday, had 3 fish within 40 minutes then nothing for 4 1/2 hours.
Stayed put and kept feeding and eventually the barbel returned with a further 14 fish. They averaged 6-7lb with a few smaller ones, and the biggest fish approx 9lbs and 33" long.
As with all Wye fish they went like stink but using the usual heavier tackle to get them in as quickly as possible meant they were still lively when unhooked and went back well. Caught 2 with other anglers' barbed hooks still attached which were removed.
