Fished the afternoon and evening on a slowly falling river, as always a great afternoon with 13 chub and a barbel falling to feeder fished scalded pellets and bollies.
Get out there and enjoy....

1 Barbel, 13 Chub

Was a bit concerned about the beat reading past reports about the swim access .
Must of hit river right as after first flush through it opened up all swims in first field and could fish the whole stretch at 1 mtr
Fished from 9 until 4 not the best times but the chubb we’re definitely on Having 25 between us all good average biggest 5 lb 3 oz on all baits
One small barble with a lone bait away from chubb fishing

1 Barbel, 25 Chub

Fished two spots attempting to find the barbel and avoid the smaller chub. Standard feeder and ledger methods. Caught 8 chub all around 3lb to 4lb in size.

8 Chub

2 Barbel, 10 Chub

Warm, difficult day. Access to water was better than thought, but there were only really 5 accessible pegs across the stretch. One of which needed a little gardening and but for a 3 metre landing net, would've proved an impossible place to bring them in. Bank and vegetation were dry, a completely different proposition on wet day, and not for the faint hearted.
That said, there were some very interesting stretches here, and the potential for some large fish. Water was low and clear throughout. Plenty of Ranunculus about, which was good to see. Visible fish included Chub (standard Wye fare) and some very big Perch, one of which was easily a 4lb fish.
Pellet, meat and boilie rewarded, of which meat seemed to be most successful. Nothing consistent. Think fish here may have been easily spooked. Good fight from all Chub. Largest of which was about 5 and a half, Perch was about half a pound. Pike around later on. Seemingly rather large.

On my last post I said that the track position was not where the map has said(for years). its new position has now changed again and the farmer has ploughed over most of it. Lucky we saw the farmer who said drive across the edge of the newly ploughed field otherwise we would not have been able to access redbank or luggsmouth as we had booked both these adjoining boundaries. if you were new to the boundary you wouldnt have a clue.
I fished the wild and untouched redbank whilst my friends fished the most accessible and comfortable of the wyes venues just downstream. Fished the downstream boundary in the fast water on float and feeder for 6 good chub 1 big eel and lost a barbel at the net. Rope and spike vital - had to use machete to find a route to the swim after failing upstream. Just about comfortable on an unstable bank but 13' feeder rod only just got to the water due to reeds. Fish certainly all dived into these and the one that slipped the hook was the barbel rather than the chub. Fished 9-2pm. Walked the rest of the beat and its as wild a beat as you will see.
