Arrived at LC bridge at 0900hrs and having walked the upper and middle stretch once again chose to fish the faster water opposite the walled area. Fish came slow and steady throughout the day although the barbel seemed to be grouped in specific areas and only became active from mid to late afternoon onwards.
Three of the barbel were over 9 lb with the biggest falling to my brothers rod and at 9 lb 14 oz provided him with a PB (so close to his first double..!). The biggest chub went 6 lb 8oz and was the deepest fattest chub I have ever seen, also a pb for me. All the fish fell to pellet feeder tactics with a variety of different hookbaits used.
The river was more coloured than the previous day with increased flow. Conditions were cloudy with sunny spells.
All in all a really enjoyable day on the beautiful river Wye, we will definitley be returning. Once again many thanks to WUF.

Water seemed at a good level for spinning, although access from the A4036 bank below Landover was not good. Saw no fish.

A blank day, although I did lip hook a couple of fish. Grayling? I tried a variety of nymph patterns and hook sizes. There were a small number of rises towards the left bank in the early afternoon.The water level fell quite quickly in the morning, then rose noticeably in the afternoon It was a dry day in this area, the opposite of the BBC forecast. A coldish wind blew down the valley; the prevailing wind was northerly, variable. The water was noticeably coloured all day - a muddy, rather than peaty, shade.

Difficult day. Slight rise in river level combined with lots of weed made fishing more and more challenging as day progresed. By 2.30pm we decided to finish early and hope conditions improved by Friday. Not a single bite which is unusual.

Very hard to find the parking spots for lower stretch. Not obvious. Could WUF have some small discreet signs made to indicate where we are supposed to park cars?

(Wuf: we'll look into it)

First time on fishery, very nice part of the Wye.Started fishing about 9.00am through until 6.00pm. Fish were caught throughout the day. Weather was
very warm ( only place in the country it did not rain). Water was low not much flow. Barbel from the smallest fish in the river ( about 1lb) caught by Pete up to 9.12 caught by Alan, who managed 12 fish on his first visit to the Wye. All fish were caught on Pellet and Boilie using Feeder. Very good day.

8 Trout, 14 Grayling

CP and BS from London fished the beat from 11.00am to 5.30pm. Cool and overcast weather; no rain. At the start we met local fishing authority Rob, who provided valuable guidance and advice regarding fishing on the upper half of the beat. We fished mostly dry flies, small n.14 paraloops and/or pheasant tail nymphs. Occasional rise in the slower water and alongside brambles. 1 fish released there; another larger fish (13”) on faster water above. Peaty water colour, good level. Fished up to top of the beat. 5 brown trout caught. Magical grayling nowhere in sight.
