Another great day on the wonderful river wye ! Got off to a slow start ! Started at 07.30 and didn’t get a fish until 11.30 then the chub and barbel arrived and finished up with 16 chub up to just over 5 lb and 3 barbel a brilliant day !

3 Barbel, 16 Chub

No fish caught for the first time ever. Can’t believe how bad this place fished today, actually I can because everywhere else I fished this week hasn’t been much better.!
I guess we have the chicken farmers to thank for that.
It saddens me to see the river in such a state.

1 small chub after trying 3 swims,Water level still low most swims for to weedy .Very few swims fishable won’t be rushing back to fish ,Vert disappointed !!

1 Chub caught after trying 3 swims most pegs heavy weed growth ,water too low to land decent fish from bank ,Very few pegs accessible if unstable on feet unless cross with mountain goat.Very disappointing won’t be rushing back !!!

Very nice fishery with plenty of easy access to the river. Will come again.

Dull overcast day with nothing much hatching, Fished nymphs most of the time, A great days fishing .
Could have benefited from more water.

River lower than ever and very clear. Weather mild and mostly cloudy. Started fishing late afternoon when most canoes had gone and stayed until curfew. Fished two swims but results were the same in both, i.e. innumerable chub bites, which I largely tried to ignore, but the fish either stole the bait or hooked themselves. A couple of smashing bites which I thought might be barbel turned out to be chub of only a pound or two. Low water levels must be contributing to poor fishing, but looking at my records over the last two seasons and this, I wonder if the Wye barbel fishing is in decline.

Beautiful stretch of the Wye with good fly water even in very low water. Saw a few salmon throughout the day which kept up
motivation. Very knowledgeable, helpful ghillie Nathan. Will fish there again. Thank you

Very low river
