Day 1 was a blank the river had risen and there was lots of weed coming through dislodging the feeders and causing snags.

Rather warm sunny day, used the swims approx 100 yards past the woodland walk. Gorgeous accessible swim, wonderful wildlife on display. Challenging swim, lively flow and much weed on bottom. Needed to be able to cast past halfway across river, not clear enough to target areas of clear gravel,therefore an element of luck in avoiding the weed. Used standard feeder tactics as trotting would not have been possible in this swim, used boilie hook baits. Challenging to discern the bites sometimes (as opposed to weed effects on the line)and lost some good fish in the weedy conditions but were able to land 6 barbel (to 9lbs). The most experienced and expert barbel angler in our party was able to cope with the conditions better than the rest of us and out-fished us. Thank you for a glorious day.

Feeder pellets. We were disappointed with number of swims.

Water levels were fine but gin clear. Tried a number of methods with the only fish being a 5lb Chub from Boys Rock Pool. Canoe traffic was very heavy.

Very weedy conditions. Over cast day. Slow going until late evening. Managed 2 immaculate chub, 4.5lbs & 3lbs on freelined meat between weed beds in front of boys rock. Also lost a large Barbel!! Enjoyed my first time on the Wye. Learnt a few things about the river for next time.

Fished boys rock - bit of a squeeze for 2 anglers but managed it. Clear, bright conditions following on from a full day of rain the previous day. Only managed 3 chub all day in the 4lb category. Pellet & feeder tactics.

Very few accessible swims to choose from. River looked in good condition. Best barbel 7lb 10 oz, best chub 3lb 8oz. 4 eels caught biggest 2lb - all caught on pellet.

First visit to this beat. Nice looking stretch of river with plenty of swims in the wooded area of the beat. However despite trying several spots we only had one chub to show for our efforts.
