A stunning stretch of water. Quiet on the fishing front but impossible not to appreciate being able to fish there

A good day for fishing, bit of cloud cover, still a bit of colour in the water, decent push, mild, should have been a good day for a big catch. but just one barbel to show for it, roughly 9lb. Stuck with the feeder/pellet method which was probably a mistake as I ought to have tried meat etc . but it is called fishing, not catching, and is what keeps me coming back year after year. As always, a day out on the Wye beats all my other fishing expeditions hands-down. Will be back.

Water levels dropping and getting clearer. We had to search for the fish and used swim feeders with halibut pellet, luncheon meat or spicy sausage pellets on the hook.

8 Barbel, 1 Chub

Weaher conditions a bit better than yesterday with at least some occasional cloud cover breaking up an otherwise very bright day. Cold easterly wind although not as strong as yesterday. River running lower and clearer than expected and it turned out to be a very tough day. Just one chub early (lost at the net)and the 2 chub followed by a barbel of around 6 lb on my last cast. Packed up at 7.45 PM

A big drop in temperature slowed the fishing for sure. We landed 10 barbel to 8lb 8oz and 8 chub to 5lb 3oz over the 2 days.

10 Barbel, 8 Chub

Barbel first cast and then nothing for the rest of the day. Very hot in the bright sunshine, but still an enjoyable day.
