We tried the lower section in the morning though it was difficult to find but no luck. We then moved to the upper section and fished at the top end for just three barbel which had clearly been caught before.

Very difficult day compared to other trips - river on a slight rise, lots of weed coming down, which increased throughout day. 9 barbel and 4 chub, all from one spot and all before 10:00 hrs. Fished pellet feeder with varied size and hook baits. Ignored bridge area and fished off the back of a shallow run where a pool formed. Nice day in beautiful scenery.

A nice beat, 6 barbel on pellets in the morning and two chub trotting in the afternoon. The track down to parking area could do with a trim, brambles on both sides. Very good day thanks.

Very tough day with the heat and low river level. Managed 1 chub each. Walked the entire beat and couldn't have tried any harder. Fished another beat 2 days later and had a much better day following a small amount of rainfall. It really does make a huge difference. Will be booking short notice in future to ensure we find more favourable conditions. We have started fishing the Wye only this season, and it's by far my favorite river. Such beautiful settings and in the main, exceptional fishing. Many thanks to the Foundation for making it possible.

River very low, bright conditions, did not suit my style of fishing. Lost one barbel whilst trotting a little run.
Nice beat needs a bit of extra water.
Salmon were jumping all over the river, they did look a little coloured so have been in a while.

We were disappointed on this occasion to catch so few from what is normally a very productive beat. G caught all four barbel and I blanked apart from a foul hooked gudgeon.
