Another lovely day on the Wye, very mild, river was pushing through, most fish caught from the bottom swim which has a big slack, last chance Barbel from top end, all fish caught on Robin red pellet, fantastic autumn scenery, very enjoyable day.

Loads of cormorants in the trees opposite the beat. Suggest these are controlled. Fishery owners can apply for shooting license.

Mild weather spurred the drive over for some winter grayling. River high and running at pace so didn't venture too far into the river when wading.
Struggled to find the fish but really chuffed to get two fish on a dry, one good grayling and an OoS brown which caught me by surprise as there was no obvious hatch or rises - just goes to show that it is always worth trying a dry on some of the seams.

All fish caught on feeder and lead tactics using meat and pellets.

River running at 2.5m so pretty high and fast. Caught in the bottom field after Heartattack Hill. Sadly lost 3 to the bankside undergrowth when they dived into bushed at the last minute. No sign of any barbel and also very quiet on the Kingfisher front. Pellets and meat both worked.

River rose during the day making anything other than feeder/lead impossible. 1 barbel early followed by a few chub during the day with a final barbel just before packing up. This was the first time we've fished the 'creel' beat and we will definitely go back.
