Cold downstream wind and the river fairly low. Hard to find the barbel amongst the chub but a pleasant day as usual. Pellet and feeder successful.

After hooking into a lovely 12" fish on my third cast of the day I was hopeful of a action packed afternoon. However, a strong, blustery wind coming over the top into the Crai valley made the going really tough. The wind was straight in my face and I just couldn't get a decent presentation. I was only successful in spooking every pool! So, that fish would prove to be the only one. Still a lovely day on the river and took the opportunity for a snooze in the sun too ;-)

River a little low. The day was blustery. Trout rising sporadically.
Only managed one fish between the two of us. We were fishing 7'6" rods, should have taken our 6' rods really with 1 or 2 weight lines as the clarity of the water was good and the fish easily spooked.

Amazing Kingfishers!
Fish in the river, low water, so quite easy to spook. Very hard, technical fishing but a stunning beat and an excellent day.

Another great day on the Wye. Barbel were a bit slow all day. However they couldn't get to the bait before the hungry chub. Barbel between 7 and 8 lbs. Pellet feeder used
Also Waggler with carp pellets. Lost count of the chub in the end but I think 30 ish would be a fair guess

Love this beat and never disappoints!!! 4 Barbel all very good fish up to 9lbs and 1 chub to about 3lbs. Nothing to really report, just a very enjoyable day out on the river, even all the canoeist were polite and moved to the other side. Wonders will never cease... Thanks WUF more adventures to follow.
