Very hot day today , was unsure how the day would pan out . River level lower than expected. Started on the feeder just to see what was out there , no action for the first part of the session. Switched to the float rod for a bit of trotting , and the chub where having it . Great fishing with some lovely fish biggest at 4.5 lb.

At 5pm went back to feeder rod then the barbel joined the party . What a day ! And probably the best I’ve had on the Wye . All fish in mint condition and quite hefty. Even on a hot day the Wye can produce the goods

8 Barbel, 8 Chub

Hell of a walk but it was definitely worth it. 30+ chub to 5lb on trotted meat and bread plus 1 eel that I could have done without.

Not a sniff of a barbel although it looked perfect.

30 Chub, 1 Other

Very promising conditions. Nice pace, bit of colour, possibly a little low. Cloudy most of day, with a few sunny intervals.
First fish came after about an hour, and one missed bite. Smashed rod off rest, could only have been a Barbel. Good fight. Fish in superb condition, probably just under 7lb.
Second fish about a hour later. Smaller, but still quite a fight. Probably around 3lb mark. Again, in lovely condition.
Both fish fell to ledgered Halibut pellet.
Angler on beach on opposite bank was very successful, taking lots of Chub on trotted bait, and then ledgering. He had one good Barbel.
Pleased, because recent reports seemed to suggest Barbel were proving very elusive here. Fair to say, they're present now.
Lovely stretch. Will return before Autumn.

Lovely stretch of water. Pleased to land 3lb Barbel (feeder and Halibut pellet) fought like a tiger. Other anglers on opposite bank catching plenty of Chub. Will definitely return. Rather confused by access further upstream from Fisherman's Hut field. Bank seemed very overgrown, and no obvious path to follow. Does map need updating?

Another tricky day. Lucky stones was up about two feet and rising making it tricky to cast and strike.

I chose to leave my feeder rod at home in order to fish the bolo float for the first time. I was delighted to catch a 7lb barbel on the peg nearest the hut. I missed more fish than I hooked. This is a beautiful beat, but it's becoming quite overgrown. No one should come expecting a comfortable peg.
