What a disappointing day. Walked over the hill and round back into the woods, fished opposite the line of rocks, water was running fast, looked so fishy. Had a couple of knocks but not a fish. After lunch moved back up to near the fishing hut, not even a bite. Never mind weather was good. Need a bit of colour in the water. Off to Upper Backney tomorrow.

Dry day and river running clear. Tried the wooded section first and had a few knocks but no true barbel bites so moved up to the field past the woods.
Had 1 barbel out, around 8lb, and lost 3 in the near bank weeds. All fish came within a 90 minute spell around midday. Moved to the first field by the fishing hut for the last couple of hours and had no bites whatsoever.

Tough day on a low clear river, overcast and damp. Fished from bottom field to the top field and struggled to find a many willing fish. Still had a great day on the beautiful wye. Stayed on lucksall camping - very clean and nice place.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub

Caught all fish on luncheon meat, straight bomb. Good river and weather conditions.

Another very hot day but river in good condition. We caught well in all the swims we fished except the first swim below the woods which did not produce as well this time. Barbel to over 9lb landed on various pellet based baits. Take note that there is a strenuous walk involved to get to the lower sections of this beat so travel light.

River level OK, hot sunny day, fished with numerous baits, fish caught on meat also caught 4 eels. Nice day.

A difficult day, the weather not what we expected at all, two heavy thunder storms with fork lightning and torrential rain restricted the fishing somewhat but did manage to land
3 Barbel, 4 Chub and 1 eel. All fish taken on meat.

Fished the woods from morning till 3 taking a 1 hour rest in a swim in the second field. The river was coloured and coming through at a fair pace. All three barbel came within an hour and a half the largest was 5lb 10.
Beautiful fishery and very strong healthy fish. My first visit to the Wye and I'll definitely be returning.

Landed a barbel on the first cast of the day, unfortunately that was it. Did catch a nice trout, it took pellet as I was reeling in.
