River very low and clear. This rather shallow beat probably not the best choice in these conditions. At least that's my excuse for not contacting a single barbel all day! A large flock of fieldfares reminded me that winter can't be far away..........

1st time on the Wye. Legered during morning and blanked. After lunch built up swim trotting maggot. Largest fish, Chub just over 2lb. Really peaceful stretch, just 2 dog walkers and some workmen checking the bridge all day. Thanks for a wonderful day.

Great day at Foy Bridge, 6 good chub and 8 small Barbel all on the float. River very low.

River conditions were clear and low, with some concern that no small fish present. Disappointed with the fishing. Used stick float and feeder methods, maggot and fine tackle. One graylng to show for it and I've chub from luncheon meat on feeder. Maggots not even attacked by minniws etc during the whole day fshing. River appeared devoid of fish life with nothing at all showing at the surface.

Only 1 Chub catch, river in good condition but a lot of debris. Really fast part of the river for feeder fishing.

Conditions seemed fine, there was a rising river and it was reasonably warm. However, I managed to blank which I confess is not at all rare. I chose to concentrate solely on barbel as I felt sure they would feed, but my offer of swimfed fishy flavoured boilies,and pelllets managed to attract zero interest in the five hours I fished. My friend on the other side of the river, as ever, managed to catch a few by varying his tactics. I gather the chub was quite nice as were the two grayling he took on the float. His barbel was only a small one I gather, around the pound mark. Lots of beautiful views rainbows, kingfishers, kestrels hunting, buzzards soaring etc. I had a nice time, but it would have been better if I'd managed to fluke a fish or two....

Another beautiful stretch of the Wye with great views from the bridge. The river was very clear and low again when I arrived and I couldn't see any fish at all, not even small fish, so I knew I had my work cut out. Tried lots of different baits but just couldn't get a single bite all day. The fishing has been hard on the Wye these last few days, lots of anglers having the same problem. This was my first ever blank on the Wye so I was quite shocked but that's fishing. I always enjoy being here, it's such a great place. Looking forward to next spring!

River very low bright conditions, only caught on stick conditions only suited one angler pool at far end on boundary looks good shame conditions were poor.

I fished bottom peg on roadside and caught 3 dace on float, minnows were a nuisance on all baits. Had one bite each on feeder fished pellet and corn, and no takes at all on luncheon meat. River low but peg looked promising.
MB fishing on comfy peg halfway along roadside fared better and caught chub and grayling on float, but nothing at all despite trying pellets and corn Agree we will both return to give it another try.
