All fish caught ledgering from same swim. Barbel all of a decent stamp - between 4lb-6lb.

Another wonderful day on the Wye, as 3 intrepid anglers sampled their third different beat on the middle section this year. Holme Lacy didn't disappoint. Nervously and excitedly tiptoeing through the cows at first light, on our way to the first swim, we were thrilled to see them largely disinterested in our presence (SPOILER ALERT - not all the wildlife encountered was as welcoming) We started fishing from the bottom of the beat, at the Island, inadvertently taking the wet and slippy route vs the dry and safe (but invisible path to our bleary eyes) path. MF's expletives soon woke everybody up, including 15 chub in the first hour who very obliging to pellet and cheese baits on the feeder. The chub remained plentiful but barbel elusive so we worked our way back through various swims, catching chub in each. Half way along the path back to the hut, MA and Sherlock met an angry swarm of Wasps/Hornets who took a main interest in stinging Sherlock's hind quarters. **Caution to Anglers walking this path at the moment** With no lasting damage that extra sausages couldn't remedy, we fished the remaining swims and had success in all of them, all swims are accessible with plenty of room. MF finally tempting an afternoon 7.5Lb barbel on a boilie, in the field after the first stile. MA prising a few chub on the stick, but the vast majority of all fish caught came on the feeder and 14mm pellet method. DC and MF ending the day in the swim by the hut, securing the second barbel of the day at 6.5lb and a few extra chub, finishing as we started, in poor light and with tired limbs, but reflecting on another wonderful day in the most picturesque of settings.

Limited fishing time due to weather conditions . Windy and rainy , wind guts over 20mph

Slow day, a few chub in the lower section to start but then couldn't buy a bite in the upper section. Lovely spot though, just not our day.

Nothing caught

very poor fishing it seem like you have stopped stocking, on my side of the bank I was the only one to have caught a fish, we tried bottom, float and numerous flies.

Warm and sunny when I started but got cooler as the day went on. River still low and clear and the water surprisingly cold. Very little insect life or fish showing. Found a couple of fish rising around the middle of the beat. Only activity in one pool and it didn’t last long, managed to get one WBT of about 12” on the dry fly.
