Nice mild day to be out however river was full of cold snowmelt water so wasn't expecting much action but was really pleased to catch a 8lb Barbel on robin red pellet, we roved about & my companion caught a couple of Trout on the maggot feeder & a nice 4lb Chub. Always an enjoyable day on the Wye

Arrived at a very coloured river, chocolate brown. We all blanked !

Freezing cold weather and river rising, but we managed to catch a few chub, water to cold for Barbel.

After realising that the weather conditions of sleet and freezing temperatures would make it a most unpleasant day we decided to travel the long distance back home instead of fishing. A good decision as the rain and sleet continued all day.

After a good day yesterday same beat, today the weather turned against us with heavy snow so we decide the risk not worth it and decided not to fish. Will back in the summer !

Nice beat, and Stefan the bayliff has done a nice job creating decent access to several swims (as the water level is very low you need to get 10-15 feet down the bank). With cold water temperature and very clear water, I was just hoping to avoid a blank. Focused on the few deeper, slower swims, including one which Stefan had pre-baited that morning (lucky for me). Ended up with 3 chub, the largest going 5lb 3oz, and 2 barbel at 6lb 12oz and a new PB of 9lb 10oz. All fish caught on feeder tactics with meat on the hair. Enjoyed watching the swans, ducks, a kingfisher and a double figure pike sitting just in front of me monitoring the chub activity closely. Great day as always on the Wye, thanks WUF.
