Nice location, unfortunately the barbel and chub were playing hide and seek and we lost. did manage a perch to about 1.5 lbs and a minnow lol. Big thanks to the farmer for the taxi service as the walk to the bank would be quite daunting with out him.

Low, clear and bright.Predictably no bites. Nil

lovely day out enjoyed my time and the advice from Mick.The amount of weed in the river made conditions difficult, seen some salmon but sorry to report no fish caught.

This was definitely a game of two halves. we fished all day through to 4 pm with just two chub to around 4lb to show for our efforts . then between 4 pm and 7 pm we caught 14 barbel all of the 5-8 lb stamp plus a chub to 6lb. all on pellet/feeder tactics. Conditions were not ideal, water low, clear and blazing sunshine with swans practicing their take off and landing technique but on the plus side, no canoes! ....but if we hadn't caught the barbel it would still have been a great day out. Will be back.

14 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fishing very poor with one of the 3 anglers getting no bites at all in 2 days! Water colour was good but level a little low with very little weed coming down the river. All anglers were bottom fishing with various different baits tried. Plain ledgers and swim feeders were tried, with ground bait and loose feed used.

Beautiful beat, beautiful day, blank. Operator error.

10 Barbel and 1 Chub. The river was low. It had been a cold night and it was sunny during the night. Not ideal conditions. Barbel fed late afternoon. Small fish 6oz - 5lb. Average size 1 1/2 - 2lb.

10 Barbel, 1 Chub

Another lovely day at Holme Lacy. Lots of snagging up but common theme on the Wye. All fish mint condition. Best Babel 8lb, Chub 5lb, no Chub under 4lb and mouths you could fit a tennis ball in. Good chat with Colin as usual.

6 Barbel, 8 Chub

A very bright day, nil returned. Many thanks.

3 were in the lower section, which produced 2 barbel of 5.9 and 10.8 on pellet-with 3 good fish lost in snags. The other 1 was in the wood and landed one barbel of 10.8, on pellet. Same conditions, similar catch (2 doubles) same enjoyment!
