Great day fishing. I had a pike of 14lbs followed by one of 21lbs and finished with a monster chub of nearly 7lbs. My mate had two 4lb chub, a trout and some tiddlers.

Bright and sunny, perhaps not ideal for this open stretch of water. Tried pellets over hemp, s/corn, bread & paste but only pork provided bites. Barbel, largest at 8lb 10ozs in superb condition. Soporific state (mine) repeatedly disturbed by a number of salmon crashing about. Pleasant day in superb surroundings.

Weather overcast, with drizzle in the morning, sunny through afternoon. Wye was in good condition after recent rain, fishing excellent. 12 chub caught, all good size, four well over 5lb. Barbel were harder to find had to move around and eventually bagged one of 8lb.
All were caught on hair rigged halibut pellet with ground bait feeder. Fishing did die as bright conditions moved in. Fished 7am to 5pm. Very good days fishing and thanks to Terry for his sound Advice.

Fished beat 3 in morning and 4 in afternoon, beautiful stretch with plenty pegs but long long walk to beats 5 and 6 due to gate been locked at end of beat 3. Only vehicle access to right bank is Locsters Pool. Struggled all day fishing till 7pm but managed 1 barbel late on using feeder/bomb and pellet but still enjoyed it and watched plenty salmon rising, more suited to fly angler or adventurous roving coarse angler.

Small Chub caught (and released) on a dry fly. Overcast weather and fairly high water conditions, there seemed to be very little insect activity and fishing was slow with only a few takes of small trout. Water level seemed high, but it's my first time fishing the Wye so it's difficult for me to be accurate.
I noticed that someone had inadvertently left the gate open to left bank access beats 3,4,5. It maybe worth considering posting a reminder on the gate itself.

It was my first time using the Foundation's service. I found it to be excellent, both the on- line service and the information provided by phone.

Best regards

6 Chub to 5.5lbs, a PB for me. No barbel. I think the otter which paid me a visit scared them away. Thanks to Terry for the advice.

6 Chub

12 fish to 0.75lb between 2 rods. All caught on small size 12 shrimp type fly on a floating line on Beat 6.

12 Trout

Really good to be back on the Whitney Court beat again, it must be 2yrs since I last fished it. Level up about 9 inches and slightly coloured. Fished hallibut pellets in all sizes to take 6 chub up to 4.5lbs and 5 barbel up to 7.5lbs, all in tip top conditon. Wild life highlight of the day was to see a great white egret flying over! All canoeist were good, even the three in one canoe that all lent the same way to steer away from me when I stood up and surprised them. Yes they turned over and took a ducking! Great day on the Wye! thanks Terry for our chat sorry, it was late in the day.

A lovely day weather wise, however the river was still rising from the previous two days of rainfall. Fished with meat(tinned ham) and between us managed only five chub and two dace from beats three and four. Two of the chub were five pounds plus. We will return to this very beautiful stretch in an attempt to to tempt the the barbel.
