A day of two halves and the opposite of yesterday. 3 barbel hooked and 2 landed before 8.30 am. 6lb and 7lb 2 oz. Magnificent fighters in the relatively strong flow. Most of the chub caught before 11 am - then very quiet until about 3 pm when a few more caught. Great fishing and scenery .

2 Barbel, 20 Chub

Strange day. Started at first light. Conditions perfect. Had a couple of good chub early and lost a decent barbel at the net. Then quiet until 2.30 and the chub came on to feed. Sadly no more barbel though. The guns were out and at various times it was like an artillery barrage. Celebrating Trump’s victory?

25 Chub

I did not attend due to the lack of facilities

The banks are ninety nine percent unfishable and the amount of trees and other snags in the river on this stretch are unacceptable . Where are you supposed to put an unhooking mat

1 Chub

Fished hard all day, caught one pike about 12lb. Lost a huge fish due to it throwing the hooks, felt like a sack of cement when I tightened down. All I saw was a great big flash followed by my trace springing out of the water and then a huge boil on the surface. Unfortunately it wouldn't take another bait,..........the monster that got away.

good day on the small chub on feeder with maggots but the other rod on the big baits didnt touch a thing all day the other two rods kept moving around and i think had a few barbel on normal hali pellets so you never know !

10 Chub, 10 Other

A hard day on the Wye, all fish on the pellet, had a job to find the barbel. Just one showed any interest.

Unfortunately a blank for 2 anglers. Fished upstream section trying 4 or 5 swims. Tried variety of boilies, pellets and meat. Not even a chub. Were a couple of Otters active though. Bailiff Stefan thought these were the problem. Shame as looked great stretch with good access and roped pegs etc. Be prepared to lose some gear in last peg upstream as very snaggy.

What looked to be ideal conditions turned out to be a hard days fishing, caught 1 barbel at 7lb 11 with what was going to be my last cast, had another few casts but no more bites

1 Barbel
