After a complete blank on this beat three weeks ago in near freezing weather an increase in temperature and slightly lower water levels combined to provide much better conditions for this trip.
Fished from around 9:30 am through to 15:30 with just just 5 bites through the day, but these produced four chub of over 4 pounds with the largest just over 5, all on ledgered meat.

Sub zero overnight with temp barely breaking zero all day - river still quite high but perfectly fishable.
Sadly no fish and no bites but still a good but rather chilly day

River 3m up not a great section as only one possible slack to fish. But a day out on the Wye is always a good day

River very low and clear, one bite, one chub all day.

Nice autumnal day at Foy Bridge. No Barbel but had some nice big Chub

Always nice to be on this River, a lot more sunshine than the forecast suggested. Mr Barbel was not in residence today but Mr Chevin more than made up for that, all fish bar 1 came from the last swim on the l/h side, including a new P.B at 5lb 2oz, all fish caught on feeder fished pellet tactics from this fast flowing & shallow stretch.

River was clear & a couple of feet up & pushing through at quite a pace.

River was rapidly rising and almost in flood from heavy rain, I couldn't really find any proper slack water to fish as the debris coming down was brutal. Lovely little stretch just a shame I wasn't there a couple of days earlier.

River dropping off and a good colour, slightly more pace than I like at this time of year but as this beat is mostly shallow. Caught in all swims we fished on a variety of methods including a Salmon Parr trotting. Nothing weighed just the average size Wye fish. Enjoyable as always

With the amount of rain over the last two days the river was high and fast flowing with a lot of debris coming down stream. This made for a challenging days fishing however it was a glorious day weather wise.
A few bites through out the day and one nice Chubb caught at 3lbs 5oz so all was not lost.
