Very poor day from both of us. Started with a torrential downpour that seemed to last for hours. 1 Barbel and 2 Chub all that was to show from such a nice water.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

The first barbel came within half hour, so thought we were in for a great days fishing, but the river started to rise with all the rain. We still managed to catch throughout the day, 4 barbel caught to 7lbs 12ozs. Still a great days fishing on pellet and feeder.

4 Barbel

Went to the upper stretch first but found very few swims and decided to fish the lower. Ended up with 3 Barbel, 1 Chub and a Gudgeon.

Not any bites at all Monday and Weds???????????????????????

River very low and clear. 1 chub of around 2lb and 3 barbel 5.10 6.8 and 7lb. All the fish were in great condition and came from the faster section at the top of the beat. A fantastic place to fish and we can't wait to fish it again. Thanks to Wye and Usk.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

River a bit low and weather warm with some sunshine. Tried a variety of baits but only connected when I put bread paste on the hook and fished the deeper shaded margins. Total of five fish - all barbell, best about 7 or 8 Lb. A great day.

5 Barbel

Again with the water low and clear we thought that catching fish might be a no go. We had 7 Barbel between us using spicy baits and ground baits. The weather was overcast so I believe this helped. Fished the upper section by the orchard finding the channel two thirds across. So nice to be out within great scenery watching the wildlife go by. Thanks to WUF for letting this happen.

The river was running low and very clear making fishing difficult. That said the morning produced 8 fish with the first a Barbel of 7 1/2lb from Bait pool it took a pellet bait with feeder. The next 7 fish came from the area of the orchard. I waded out to a gravel bank near there and set up. I fished the far side into a pool under a group of trees. I started initially using a pellet and feeder and took a small Chub of a couple of ounces. I then waited an hour before the next fish which was a 5lb Barbel, the fish then came fast with 3 more Barbel the largest being 7 1/2lb. Two more Chub were caught of 3 1/2lb size. These all went for a Boilie with crushed boilie and pellet in a feeder. I had to wade out to deeper water to land the fish as it was difficult to get a landing net under the fish due to the river level being that low. At 12pm we moved down towards the Mill pool part of the beat and another Barbel of 5lb was landed between the Orchard and Mill pool on pellet and feeder. The last Chub of the day came just before last light to a boilie.
A difficult but great days fishing in amazing countryside. All fish were in excellent condition.
