Nothing caught. River was high and tricky wading

Tricky days fishing. Managed a sea trout that took my ledgered bunch of maggots.
No barbel unfortunately!

I do quite like to chat to other anglers that use the Wye and usk foundation and 90% say that the prices are far too high for a days fishing (especially when it’s tough)
Every stretch that I have fished is neglected and you walk past a majority of the best parts of the river….where is our money being spent????

Fishing Passport Note: The banks of both the Wye and Usk are protected as a Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). There are, therefore, strict limits as to what can be done with regards bank clearance, which has to be done sensitively and in compliance with the law. Inevitably there will be many inaccessible sections at certain times of year and when there is little angler 'traffic'. The Wye is a wild river, please bear this in mind when booking Fishing Passport beats and don't assume fishery managers are not doing their job if some areas are overgrown. Pricing depending on conditions, i.e. 'tough' would be entirely unpractical.

1 Sea Trout, 1 Chub

2 barbel and 1 chub, I had both barbel in the morning and conditions were spot on so I was expecting a few more in the afternoon, unfortunately it didn't happen just a single chub around 4lb was all I had for the rest of the day.
Still a good day though for the time of year.
The biggest barbel was 8lb 8 the other around 5-6lb

Had a good day on my first session of the year.
Wonderful surroundings ,in the shadow of the castle.
Tried every pellet, meat ,bread ,paste for a futile hour until I tried a bait, not used since childhood.
By end of day, chubbed out!!!! Must have caught 30+ ..........or caught the same dullest, dimmest chub 29 times!!!
Everyone was about the same stamp 2-3lb apart from one fat boy.OH !!!.....and my first ever grayling...they actually look female...the lady of the stream I now understand. Knackered though...
