We block booked the beat. The river was about a foot up on normal levels and still had a bit of colour.
5 barbel were caught in the upstream field. 3 from the concrete walkway.
All on the usual pellet and boilie method

8 Barbel, 1 Chub

Very hard. No bites until 2.00 and then nothing after 4.00pm. Water perfect but very cold.

Misty start but the sun soon showed its face and another great day to be on the river. River itself was still dropping slowly from last weekends rain but still coloured. Settled into a swim that looked ideal and I could hold bottom about halfway with a 2oz feeder. No fish so moved after 2hrs and chose a swim 50 yards downstream. Initially fed heavily with groundbait feeder and pellet. First barbel at 2pm then caught steadily throughout the afternoon ending with 6 barbel and one chub. All fish over 6lb with best 9lb 1oz. Finished at 5pm to travel home a very contented angler.

For once I chose the right time to visit the Wye. On arrival found the river high, coloured and pushing through. Picked a swim with an inside line and used grounbait feeder and boilies for 5 barbel between 5 and 7lbs. All fish in excellent condition and returned strongly. Great day to be on the river.

Difficult conditions with first and hopefully last Eels making an appearance.

A tough day with "midsummer" conditions coupled with a low clear river & an otter seen 3 times on the upper stretch actively fishing.
Only the 1 fish just on dark but a good one over 9lb.

Fished the faster water by the pump house walkway to the end of the shingle bank.
Lovely beat, would love to see some swims cut in going upstream opposite the wood.
Barbel came to pellet and boilie Chubb came to Meat

second day of 2, cold start but beautiful spot, had a 3lb chub which a huge pike went for on the way in ! left some marks on the chub and i would say was a BIG pike, great weekend at a lovely stretch, and we stayed in the on site caravan on the farm which was ideal!

lovely spot, alot of rain of the first day, fishing was a bit slow, but managed to get a few chub and one barbel, really good access to swims and plenty of them, was nice to catch a few grayling as well on the maggot feeder.
