Water levels still up and very murky. We had to search for the fish, but eventually found them on the upstream pegs. We used swim feeders, with either luncheon meat, halibut pellet or spicy sausage pellet on the hook.

River was high but on the way down. Fished from 9am till 7pm. A few barbel early on and then the usual middle of the day quiet period before it picked up again later. Only four swims as such to pick from. A beautiful warm, sunny and enjoyable day!

Hit the river spot on, didn't really matter what you did they were having it!

A very enjoyable day at MHC. Most of the rain had cleared by the time I arrived and conditions looked favourable with the river up a foot or so and heavily coloured. Access was very limited at the lower end of the beat but I found what was probably the only accessible swim downstream of the parking area. Here I managed 4 lovely looking barbel weighing from around 4lb to somewhere a little short of 9lb. Thanks WUF.

looked great with coloured water on the rise , gently but surely felt like a struggle allday though. lost a few to snags and hook pulls but ended up with the 5 to 7lb or so all in great virgin like condition. Used piloni garlic soft pellets and ground bait. no fish on normal halibut pellets. car smelt like a French onion sellers van afterwards fish seemed to like the shade on the far bank until late on when middle of the river was more productive. Lovely sunny day after heavy early morning showers

River pushing through and up slightly. Very few swims at this venue and difficult to get down to river. Fished from about 8.30 until dusk. Started slowly and improved during the day. Alan caught 10 barbel, Dave 6 and Pete 5 (10lb 12oz PB for the Wye). Chub up to 41/2 lb. Caught on pellet and meat.

River up a bit and fast. Sporadic action kept the interest going on feeder and pellet. A very pleasant day in lovely surroundings.

A rising river but very controlled fishing after finding a swim away from the main race of the river. 10 Barbel to 8.8 lb and 4 Chub to 5.1lb. Fabulous day well worth the 250 mile round trip.
Great directions and pack from WUF.
