4.30pm - 10Lb cock fish caught on 1" black and yellow tube, very coloured fish, returned safely.

Water 1'3" on the Erwood gauge, clearing.

Many thanks to the WUF guys for sorting me out at such short notice and thanks to Terry for putting me on the fish!

Had a superb day fishing, lots of barbel, smallest was 6.5lb and biggest was my brothers new pb of 9lb. Had a 5lb chub trotting the float, best fun I've ever had, lots of decent floatfishing to be had in Whitney court. This was our second visit, we came last week, had to come again! Beautiful stretch of the Wye, lots of fishable swims, recommend strongly to travel light, as the only way is to move on if your not getting any bites...
We met Terry the bailiff/gamekeeper, he had some invaluable advice and was very forthcoming and friendly and pointed out to the hotspots!
Can't wait to come again, might book it out for a few more days next time! Found that any baits worked, if they're where I the swim, they're gonna take your bait, we were using luncheon meat and pellet in paste..

Red letter day in late Summer at Whitney, 17 chub 3-4 pound and 2 6 pound Barbel all caught on waggler in fast water. The most scenic and impressive farmland in the passport, a great location.

A fabulous water and a great result for all four anglers on this trip. There is a lot of ground to cover, and there are large areas where getting to the river is impossible, but that still leaves plenty of scope for angling in a variety of conditions. Fish were caught throughout the day, but there was a final flourish immediately before sunset. all caught on ledgered or drifted pellet, with an emphasis on keeping mobile. Beat 2 and 3 were particularly productive.
Although we were coarse fishing, there were many sightings of salmon and trout throughout the day.

River in good condition but low and clear. Occasionaly bright conditions made it difficult. Managed to catch a number of chub and 1 barbel by moving around from swim to swim. Overall a very pleasant days fishing - will be back!!

a day in the Herefordshire countryside is special even if the fishing was a struggle

Crystal clear water and bright sunshine made for difficult conditions with all fish caught during first and last hour.
