Very hot and bright, water now very low and weedy. However 3 fish, 2 barbel both around 7 1/2 so no complaints.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished afternoon, 2 barbell. River started to rise as I was leaving. Wish I was fishing tomorrow.

2 Barbel

Fished from 11am through to 8pm on lower beat. Largest barbel 7 1/2 pounds. Cut weed constantly coming down river throughout the day which was a bit of a problem. However still managed 7 barbel. It was another great day on the Wye and Usk, thanks again.

7 Barbel

Nice beat with good access. All fish between 5 and 7 lbs on pellet/boilie.

Fished Wye for the first time. River low and very clear, weather was hot with some cloud at times through the day. Fished from 7.30 a.m to 3 p.m. but I could not get a bite all day on the lower part of the beat opposite the white & yellow house on far bank. The swim looked ok with a few feet depth of water in front of me. Used feeder with pellet bait & tried luncheon meat on the hook also. Moved to upper section just above the orchard and started to get bites off far bank to luncheon meat from about 5 p.m. but still no bites or proper takes. Very disapointing and I hope the Creel gives up some fish to me tomorrow.

A new day on the river, water a few inches lower but no weed from up river. Had 14 fish from 4 half to 7 half lb
all in great condition, all taken at start and end of the day on pellet and feeder.
Big thank you to WUF we will be back.

2 barbel taken on a very hard day, as someone cutting weed further up river which meant we could only fish a few feet from the bank. All fish from lower part of beat both fish in great condition.

Second day of our trip on a low river. After a good ending the previous evening we were up at dawn hoping for more action. The fish thought otherwise and by lunch only three barbel had been caught. The afternoon promised to be largely overcast so heavy baiting was followed by a long lunch break. It worked, with a further 15 barbel and seven chub added before dusk. Biggest barbel was 8lbs 2ozs and biggest chub a very large but empty fish of 4lbs 14ozs. A great couple of days on a lovely venue. The farmer stopped for a chat and was very friendly and informative, being an angler himself. Lots of salmon were leaping out but no salmon anglers were about to take advantage.

Wonderful venue. Just being there was a pleasure. Catching was a bonus. Hard day due to sunny conditions but all came good in last couple of hours with majority of fish coming then. Biggest barbel was 7 lbs 9 ozs and biggest chub a perfect specimen of 5 lbs 4 ozs. best thing was there was another day left (see separate report).

Arrived at 12, walked the stretch for one hour, fished side by side in swim. Left most tackle in car and travelled light, one landing net, one seat, one angler sat on the unhooking mat. Big mistake! Needed two landing nets as we often had fish on at the same time. Fished pellet feeder, biggest barbel 9lb, biggest Chub just over 5.4lbs. What a great afternoon and what a great fishery. Sorry the report's late but only got home on Sat after a fantastic week on river.
