Fished 1530-1830 in lower field as the other anglers booked on were (as expected) parked by the rubbish tip on top field. Luckily I came with a plan. Fished the third swim down the lower field as the first two are still a bit too shallow and pacy with this much water on. The river looked magnificent - still quite coloured but dropping after the rain. I fished groundbait feeder with paste wrapped 14mm halibut pellet on the hook. Chub number one came first cast and was a tiddler. Chub number two shortly after and was a decent one, around 4lb. Fish three was hooked within the first hour also and went off like a steam train. Hook pull sadly. A few minutes later and a very positive drop back which resulted in barbel number one. At a guess around the 6lb mark and fin perfect. Another decent chevin followed around 1700. About 1715 a roaring, rod bouncing take and after a great scrap barbel number two was in the net. A shade bigger, perhaps 7lbs. It went weirdly quiet after this although the light dropped and the river looked so good for a few more bites. Packed up at 1830 very happy to have taken the afternoon off work.

We did not fish,we are both in our seventies and although the river was just in its banks the areas around the very few swims that were seen as swims were very slippery, and to steep for us to navigate,I think the wye usk should specify that this venue is unsuitable for the elderly or unfit.

Did Not Fish due to river to high.

Only 1 peg accessible on lower length so all 4 fished upper length
river dropping but still coloured, 9 barbel from one peg

Good day for 2 anglers in the accessible swims in the upper section, the lower section did not have any accessible areas. When the river is at the level it was, this beat cannot accommodate 4 anglers. Barbel went to 7lb 8oz, chub to 5lb 2oz.
Didn't appreciate the flail hedge cutter being used a couple of yards away from us, with debris flying dangerously close.

River was in flood and very coloured with much debris coming down stream. We both fished with heavy feeders to hold bottom trying an assortment of hook baits, sausage and cheese flavoured halibut pellets along with pepperami but no bites unfortunately.
