A patchy day, boat traffic was horrendous, why do they think it’s ok to stop & have a picnic right opposite to where your fishing. I don’t think I’ll fish here during the day again.

Report for J H from Bridgwater.
A tough first day on this beat, not amused at kids throwing stones on the swim opposite.

River initially running fast from overnight rain, diminishing to a more leisurely pace around noon.
Weather was overcast, with a sunny spell at noon.
We fished at the downstream end of the beat where there Is a standing wave of white water. Access is via very precarious footpath ...
The swims are full of natural rock hazards and I fishing over that standing wave of white water, lost swimfeeders to it.
Method - 10lbs main line with size 10 hair rig hooks & Medium weight free running swimfeeders. I had a 4" paternoster on my swimfeeder, and switched to 1oz arsley bombs to easy snag recovery from my swim.
Bait - 15mm boilee, I had pineapple flavour, my mate was using krill flavour, (as was his groundbate) with hemp groundbait for me.
We had 1 roach to 6 oz approx, with the Barbel to about 3 & 4lbs approx. The largest chubb was approx 3lbs. I had a 2.5lbs chubb at 8am but most of our Fish were caught in the afternoon, with the best number from 2pm. We had to leave at 5 but we reckon the swims would have been good to catch fish till sun down. Next time we will go for a session to start from 1pm till evening, and skip the early start !

Fish fed most of the day on swim feeder tactics with boilies as bait

Great day on the Wye ( to be honest ask yourself would you rather be home or fishing on the Wye ) . After the early downpour the fishing improved and in between watching buzzards and kingfishers and a family of gooseanders we had lots of bites. Best Barbel around 8lb and best chub around 5lb. Back soon.

Fished the last peg. Caught through out the day until I left at 2.00 fed up with canoeists going through my line
Fished on pellet but better fish caught on 12mm boilie. Put plenty of hemp in the feed
