Another good afternoon on the Wye. Set up at about 3pm after a bit of an explore and settled for the Boys Rocks swim. Fished simple pellet/feeder tactics and saw plenty of action, two barbel to just over 10lb and three decent chub.
River was in good condition, not loads of accessible swims on this beat but enough to have a go at.

Water low, bright conditions.

Arrived midday. Lot of carp showing but easily spooked due in part to very shallow water and in part to my cumbersome attempts to stalk and cast to feeding fish. Eventually landed a 9lb common carp. Beautiful fish in perfect condition. Fought very hard in the shallow water. Lost one other.

Had a good day, weather perfect in the morning, rain and drizzle, hot and sunny in the afternoon but still managed to catch all day. 10 barbel, 3 over 9lb, all caught on pellet feeder. A really nice beat, my only complaint, not enough swims. More need to be available to anglers if 3 or 4 turned up. Anyway, a great day it was a joy to watch loads of salmon jumping.
Just a word on accommodation. We stopped at the Inn on the Wye at £65 a night for 2. Good value.

Lovely stretch, very picturesque. Some nice but challenging swims on it. If approached right though they can produce few decent fish. Great maps, directions etc.

1st ever trip to the River Wye, so booked this stretch for 2 days.
Day 1
4 Barbel (2 in the first 2 hours and 2 in the last hour). Best fish was 7.06lbs. Method was pellets on standard ledger set up. 6 chub caught during the day between the barbel, best fish was 4.08lbs, same tactics.
