Hair rigged pellet fishing for barbel. River just above normal, little colour remaining. Wonderful, peaceful venue

First time on this beat and loved it. Lots of different types of water to fish. Really beautiful location - very peaceful. Parking not too far from the river. Tried some float fishing throughout the day but no joy. All fish caught on feeder and pellet throughout the day. Two of the barbel were biggest i've seen on the Wye - must have been close to 9lbs
Cracking beat.

A few hours in a late afternoon and evening session. Good flow in the river, which rose several inches while I was there. A fair amount of weed in my swim but managed to negotiate this to land five nice barbel up to 7lbs 12 ozs. All on pellet and feeder.

First time fishing this beat unfortunately strongest summer winds for over twenty years. River was rising rapidly with various tree parts and clumps of weed coming through. But I will be back to this lovely beat. 2 eels.

First time on the Wye, only managed 4hrs (3-7pm) partly due to BA cancelling my flight back from Spain and some serious wind and rain, that I was ill-prepared for.
Only fished the first peg of the upstream end and fed a line at 20 meters with hemp, meat and pellet. Used a traditional running line rig, switching between hookbaits, but no signs of fish, until I'd packed up, when a large fish crashed over my feed..3 lessons learnt, about the Creel, feed an Iinside line in the deeper water with less weed growth; fish onto the dark as looks like the Creel fish turn on at dusk; update wet weather gear! RIver was a bit low, so could do with the rain so hopefully next session booked on How Caple Court will be better.
