Sadly very very polluted (litter) from members of the public BBQing, drinking and swimming in the river over hot weather. Didn't fish, too depressing.

No fish caught

First time fishing the Wye and happy to catch a couple Barbel between us up to 7lb. Plenty of sport from Chub throughout the day.

2 Barbel, 10 Chub

Tough day, bright sunshine and low water, a couple of very small brownies returned safely. Fishing tough but still a great day on the river.

The river was still low and a murky brown like our previous trip to Lower carrots a couple of weeks ago.
We fished opposite the wood crib on the opposite beat. Flow was near standstill in the upper portion of the beat opposite the water treatment works.
We started at 8am and didn't get any bites until 3pm, the flow of canoes was probably the highest I have ever seen in the years that I have been fishing the middle and lower Wye, quite literally constant from 10am until 3pm.
Most of the canoeists were courteous and accommodating, but every now and again groups of Stags/Hens etc would pass in an inebriated state, making loads of noise, playing music, running into our lines etc.
Probably not the best place to fish at the weekend! unless early or late in the day.
Despite out trials, we did manage to catch some fish, including a Barbel on the cusp of 9lb, so by far from a bad day all told. Feeder and pellet accounting for the fish. The lower part of the beat also looked interesting with good pace, but as we had fed our swims during the course of the day we stuck it out there for the evening. Thank you to WUF and the estate for the access to the fishing
