Looked to be great conditions, but river was running through more quickly than expected and wading wasn't attempted. Difficult start for all with only one eel and one Dace landed. Round about 3ish, things began to tick over, with 3 Barbel being banked in fairly quick succession (7lb,5lb, 3lb) followed by some decent Chub (4lb+ being the largest). Variety of tactics used, Barbel fell to ledgered luncheon meat. Chub took trotted corn and meat. Would love to visit with water down a little and slightly less pace. On one swim, there was clear evidence of Pike fishing having taken place (dead Sprats), thought this wasn't allowed. One or two swims in woods hampered by snags close in. Tricky, but enjoyable.

New beat for us. After walking the length, we all decided to fish in the wood. The river had run off with no colour in the water which hindered our chances. We still managed a few fish on a nice beat.

Great day's fishing, the Barbel were feeding throughout the day, I caught in every swim I tried. Best three were 10lb 3oz , 8lb 12oz and 7lb 13oz. All to feeder tactics with paste wrapped boilies. River in superb condition, coloured and pushing through but 3 1/2oz feeders were just about OK. Really pretty stretch! I will definitely visit here again.

Fished for six hours upstream of the car park near the steps. River pushing through and chocolate colour. Legered pellet and boilie.
3 of the barbel around the 8.5-9lb mark. Biggest 9.02. The two smaller fish around 6lb.

A really nice beat on the lower Wye with several decent swims towards the top end of the beat. Feeder fished mostly and rolled some meat which resulted in the barbel. We will be back.

Only 1 person fishing , 4 nice fish early on from 1 swim. Moved around to fish as many swims as possible (Not that many swims) but no more success.
