9 barbel between 2 anglers and several dozen chub to rolling and lightly legered baits. Other reports suggest an explosion in the Wye chub population this year.

First time on this stretch, good access. Not the most peaceful of beats, swimmers, dogs, main road, but a delightful shallow run although very snaggy . Fish are of a smaller size here, the barbel averaged 3.25lbs.

This spot is full of fish, all of the chub were around 3 to 4 pounds and the barbel around 8 pound .
Due to river level fished very end of beat unfortunately it was full of snags, lost a few fish and a lot of feeders, hence I packed up a lot earlier than usual.

It's been a VERY long time since I've fished the first day of the river season as it's normally more miss than hit for me. I'd been rewarded with a beautiful sunrise and an indecisive wild boar on my journey before I'd even seen the river. I fed the bottom pool with some pellet before fishing the run on the float on meat over hemp. 3 nice chub in the first hour before a move to the bottom pool produced 5 chub, 2 eels and a small barbel on bomb and meat over loose feed. Couldn't get a bite on pellets
Another move back up on the run gave me 2 more small barbel on corn and a blackcap feeder/hemp before a last go on the float produced 2 more chub. Left at 1300. Nothing over 3lb but a solid start, enjoyable start to the season on a gorgeous morning.
