Lots of chub, average about 2lb each, but no sign of barbel.

14 Chub

1 Barbel, 14 Chub

Fishing was again very tough and two anglers on other bank were also struggling
River is low and there doesnt seem to be any stramer weed which is v strange for this time of year . Given how difficult it is to catch i am a little suspicious of the water quality. 4 very small chub a verty poor return for two hard days fishing. Also access to redbank 1 needs updating as you cannot ealk along the described tree line as ghe farmer has crops to the edge so have to ealk all around ghe wheat field and past the lower beat. Over the stile the field is completely overgrown making swim access v difficult

1 eel in addition to the chub

Love this beat . I caught 14 chub on waggler / corn from the middle of the downstream field and charlie has 12 chub and 2 barbel on meat and pellet feeder from the fast water.
Have to say that access ‘path’ to river could not be used as we would not been able to avoid damaging crops. Thanks to Wye and usk for helping with alternative access.

Great to be back on the Wye, bit of a mission to get to the bank around the edge of corn field a few swims have been cut in the corn field though, started in the grass field witch is more open but the banks are quite steep & great care is needed to get near to the river,. Mr Barbel was not in in residence but managed 5 Chub all around the 3lb mark & a hard fighting carp.

A nice stretch - no cows! Fishing for me was a bit slow, but better for my mate. We fished the lower end of the beat. The other fish was an eel.

very over grown river low ,did not help that anglers on opposite bank waded across ti where my mate was fishing .but saying that not a bad venue.

Can’t recall ever wearing a fleece to keep warm on 20th June before! Very overcast with a cold wind but no rain so that was a bonus! No barbel but some superb chub, one over 5lbs and several 4 pounders. Also a couple of chunky dace on 6mm pellets. Great day and will be back, of course.

Getting to the bank was not the best being only the 3rd day of the season the field is planted this year and up to the hedge
we followed the path made the day before. Having fishing the next beat down the day before and under the low conditions fished the fast water at the bottom of the beat.
Worked hard to catch, but we managed to catch through the day. mainly Chub in the 3lb size along with a good number of chublets the 2 Barbel estimated at 7lb and 5lb one on flavoured meat the other on sweetcorn both proved hard to land in the fast water from a difficult spot.
We walked the beat to look for other swims some good looking places to try with a bit more water on
Despite the conditions another good day
