A good but not spectacular day on a stretch that we have done well on in the past - 7 Barbel and 1 Chub to mainly pellet.

Water still high and very coloured and going through very fast. Eel 1st cast on meat, 1 and 1/2lb, then found it quite hard to hit bites as the line kept getting debris on, but we got a few small chub before lunch. Then decided to glue some swivels on heavy stones and use them as weights to fish in the fast flow in search of the bigger fish. Got 5 chub up to 2 and 1/2lb and a barbel of 3lb. Hooked a couple of larger barbel, but one straightened my hook and I couldn't get the other past the rocks hidden below the flow. Caught a dace before the wind got up and then we stopped getting bites. Saw 3 good sized salmon rising all day, one very big. Along with the kingfishers and birds of prey it's a great area to fish, we enjoyed the challenge and we will be back. Successful baits were meat, cheese, and corn for chub - frankfurter pellets for the barbel. Thanks again to WUF

Arrived to find the river was whizzing through and up several feet. I was expecting to have a really good day but unfortunately the fish thought otherwise. Fished down towards the Lugg and had nothing, moved upriver a bit and caught 2 chub eventually got a small barbel as it was getting dark. Amused myself feeding the minnows in the margins. Nice to be on the river anyway.

4 barbel - 5lb, 2 x 6½lb & 7½lb, 1 x small chub. Something very big lurking in one of the pools... could have been salmon or pike.

4 barbel 5 - 7lbs 9oz and 1 small chub all caught on pellets, between two rods. Very nice fishery, bank access very good, vehicle access easy when dry. Fished all day for nothing until 4.30 and then it got quite exciting. Big fish moving, probably pike but could have been salmon. Enjoyed our day very much. Excellent service from the office staff, thankyou very much.

Had a lovely day at Luggsmouth....we had about 7 barbel (up to about 6lb) between us and a couple of chub....river low and clear, could do with a fall of rain! Sadly had to end the session early, but will definately return.

2 rods. Only 2 chub caught (5lb and 3lb). 3 barbel were lost. Looks like it could produce when everything just right.

Arrived to find to river low and clear. We had to work hard for the fish and ended up roving to catch 1 or 2 from each swim before moving. I ended up with 5 barbel upto 6lb and 8 chub all around the 3lb mark, my partner had 4 barbel and 2 chub one of which weighed 5lb 10 so made his day.

Very slow day, bright & sunny, only a few Chub all day up to about 4 pounds.

First time on the Wye, river was running off nicely at just over a foot above normal levels. Fished a morning session only (on cricket and beer festival tour) from 7am to midday. Stunning scenery and cracking sport, baited up my swim (1 rod swimfeeder with hemp, halibut pellet groundbait, with hair rig pellet) 2nd rod ledgered hair rig pellet) caught a chub 1st cast, 2 barbel (7.5lb, 6.5lb): FIRST EVER BARBEL!!!!(Perfect condition,no sign of previous contact with homo sapiens). Followed up with lots more chub (best 4lb, 3lb) and got dragged all over the place by a large barbel that eventually snagged and snapped me!! Won the game of cricket as well!!! Happy days, can't wait to come back to the Wye!!
