A lovely stretch of the river with easy access but no fish on this occasion. Fished several spots with feeder and pellet.

Heavy rain all day but the river was a lot clearer than yesterday up at Rhayader. Fished the pools and gutter on the lower section with an indicator and two nymphs. Grayling to 17"(most fish 12-14")and trout to 12".

Water level rose considerably during the day and the strong flow and constant stream of debris made for difficult fishing conditions. These improved slightly in the late afternoon when the barrage of weed etc abated. 2 of the barbel (one of 9.5lbs) caught on meat (on the hair) and all other fish on pellet. Everything considered, a good result.

The river was partly over the cribs which provided some nice "crease" swims. Found the fish by moving around several times, in between the heavy rain. Heavy feeders again and pellets for the barbel (and 1 eel) and some chub on sweetcorn. A nice but wet day.

Arrived to a overcast mild day with the river carrying a little colour and looking in perfect condition. We started on the middle to upper stretch alternating between feeder fished maggots, caster and hemp and trotting on the pin, many small chub and dace present. A switch to pellet feeder at midday bought the barbel on the feed with several fish to 9lb falling to our rods, all were in fin perfect condition and looked like they had never been caught before, a solitary chub at 51b 2oz was a welcome addition.
A switch to big rubber lures during the last hour of light provided two perch at around the 2lb mark.
Yet another really enjoyable days fishing on the brilliant river Wye.
