Great day on a lovely stretch. In spite of long walk it was definitely worth it. Fish came consistently throughout the day, most between 5 and 7.5lb.

Firstly, what a beautiful place Fownhope is. Rolling hills autumn colours in the trees and rocky pools full of fish! We made our way over 'heart attack hill' (the view and fishing is so worth it!) and both started the morning very well catching steadily all morning until just before lunchtime when the river started to rise VERY quickly! Bringing down with it constant rafts of weed and debris, rendering feeder fishing almost impossible and Putting a halt to the bites from then on for the rest of the day which was unfortunate because I'm almost sure we would have caught a lot more fish, that's fishing for you! The fish were all immaculate as per usual on the wye and I even managed somehow to catch a Gudgeon fair and square on 8mm pellet! Fantastic day however, again in beautiful surroundings and wildlife, can't wait to come back up to Hereford soon!

Thank you again wye and usk.

After moving downstream from the woods section fish came steadily throughout the day. A move at the end of the day above the woods provided one more. All fish caught on pellet, the largest being around 8 1/2lb.

Fished a number of swims both above and below the wood, having braved the long and arduous walk and very steep hill. River was in good condition but bites were at a premium. We managed 2 barbel each, best 8lb, on pellet based hook baits.

Lovely day, both weather and fishing. River remains at a good level and flow. Made the journey over the hill to below the wood. Fished all day in the swim nearest the wood. Fish starting feeding around mid morning and then regularly throughout the day. All fish in the 4lb to upper 7lb range.
Fish caught on ledgered pellet/PVA bag method

The score carried on but SM sealed the victory 11-6. Barbel fishing slowed down today but the chub were great sport. An amazing stretch and two amazing days fishing. River was high and just held bottom with 3 oz feeders. All fish caught on Pellet.
