Very disappointing day at Whitehouse. River pushing through a bit.
Only 2 anglers.

1 Chub

Despite river conditions looking good we could only tempt two small chub.One or two more swims could do with opening up here.

I fished the top end of the meadow in the morning with just 1 chub, I moved back down to the first peg on the boundary by the gate & caught the rest there. A good afternoon. Caught on meat & krill boilies, feeding meat hemp & pellets.

Fished here in August when you could walk half way across the river in one place so really nice to see it full, making the excellent swims accessible to the water, with a tinge of colour. Started wet and overcast but cleared to sunny intervals. Fished 3 swims down the bottom end losing a barbel second bung as my clutch was still tightened right down from pulling for a break last time out. Nearly got it off in time but 10lb hooklength broke at the knot. Arrgh! Was convinced this would be my only chance but with the clutch now set and a brand new hooklength on I had another banger an hour later which took line and line and line. On seeing a long streak of gold in front of me and 2 massive eruptions on the surface I knew it was a good fish before what looked close to my first Wye double had to be folded into the net. 10lb 3 and happy boy! Had to remove a barbed hook from the fish despite the barbless only rule. Had 3 more smaller fish 5 - 7lb and two small chub for a great day in a lovely peaceful spot. Thanks to WUF and the friendly land owners.

Fished Fownhope 5 . The first swim at the top of the section. Sunny day only 2 bites. 2 Barbel caught 2lb 8oz and 7lb 4oz. Both on 8mm Halibut pellet. Also hand fed a Robin all day a fantastic experience.
Also watched a few kingfishers

I did not catch much, just one eel, but what a stunning fishery. Thanks to Fishing Passport for providing access to this and to other Wye fisheries. Hope to come next year and try again.
