It was nice to be on the riverbank again although conditions were such that only a few swims were accessible. One small chub at the end of the day saved the blank .

River was rising with a fair bit of debris coming down but was still confident fishing the pool at the bottom of the beat. Sadly no action but I had a great day anyway! The view is stunning. Thanks W&U.

Very finicky bites to start the session but did manage to connect with one and it turned out to be an eel {tackle destroyer}, no bites till later in the afternoon but had 4 nice chub later biggest 6.5lb. All fish on meat and straight lead tactics.

First time on this stretch and after the recent floods, found the river in good order. Fish caught on a mix of home-made and shop -bought pellets.

Beautiful autumn day on the Wye. Four anglers fished the bottom of the beat.. Two of us blanked. 5 barbel - biggest 10lb 4oz - and 4 chub shared between the two of us that did catch. All on feeder and pellet.

After yesterday’s struggles on the Creel and the rains falling heavily most of the night, we were not overly optimistic arriving at the river and seeing it very high. Found the swims with the slacker water and hoped for the best. Not a single bite all morning and with a river still rising, hopes were diminishing rapidly. After we stopped for a bite to eat at lunchtime the barbel must have decided it was feeding time too. 5 barbel to just over 10lb and a couple of small chublets was a pleasant surprise in such a swollen river. Plus the sun came out!
As a footnote we stayed at the Hostelrie at Goodrich and we can highly recommended it, good food, beers and wonderful staff.
