Terrible rain all morning. We fished the hut and swims above all morning without a bite. In the afternoon we did the hill walk to the wooded area. No bites at the lucky stone swim. We moved to the swim at the end of the wood by the field and it was chub city. We had 6 chub in 2 hour to 4LB. For the last hour we moved to the hut when the 3 Barbel came. 4LB 5oz, 6LB 6oz and 7LB 8oz. Dusk in the hut swim seems to be a winner.

River low and clear after recent flood levels and the morning started cold but warmed up to become a lovely late autumn day. Started in the lower field and managed 3 barbel and several chub to feeder and boilie or pellet. Moved up into the wood mid morning but the pegs look to have seen a lot of attention with new swims and existing swims very trampled. We had no fish here. Interesting that the gate into the wood now has a sign for another angling club saying it is private fishing although it still shows on the Wye and Usk map for this stretch. We finished the day in the field above the wood and managed a good number of barbel to 8lb on feeder tactics. Enjoyable day.

Booking Office Note: This fishing sign (for White Swan Piscatorials) is an old sign and no longer applicable.

River at normal level with a little colour. All fish caught on the centrepin trotting corn and luncheon meat. The barbel were around 8lb and the chub between 3 and 5 1/2 lb. All were in excellent condition.

Had a very pleasant day on the river with my daily workout carrying far too much gear over the hill to the bottom of the beat,beating my way through to the river’s edge & sliding down the bank (should have added a machete to my gear);Getting back up the slippy banks was a piecemeal job. Tried 4 different swims which all went quiet after an hour or two. One beauty of a chub just over 6....shame they come in like lambs, unlike the barbel that give their all.
Met A again, all the way down from Suffolk & it was good to ‘chew the fat’ with him again & was able to help him with the landing net & camera at last knockings , with a fantastic barbel just a few ounces short of being a double. Perfect end to the day.
Don’t those hedge flails make a lot of noise!
There was very large salmon playing in the pool just above the hut.
Thanks to all.

Hard day for Barbel, but at least the Chub were active. Fished in the three main swims at the top of the beat, ending up at the hut. Plenty of Chub but only 2 Barbel takes. First one managed to snag me, the second caught on my "one last cast" weighed in at 9lb 3oz. Good to catch up the "A.B. from Hereford" again, he's right the Hedge Flails are very noisy!!!
