Didn't look very promissing as a bit slow and no obvious features on the upper section, didn't walk very far as it was too hot!
I had 6 barbel and 5 chub plus an eel. All on corn/timebomb with 4mm pellet and hemp in feeder. All fish from the middle of the river. Fished from late morning to 6pm. Could have been a lot more if I had started early and finished late.

A difficult day with all fish caught in the morning. It became very hot and bright in the afternoon and the fish went off the feed by 11am. The barbel came from the faster water in the woods with the largest at 7lb. I was also dissappointed to lose a couple of very large fish due to snags. A couple of chub around 3lb plus eels made up the total. I suspect some rain would improve conditions.

Challenging conditions. Weather lovely but lost a lot of tackle as continually snagging and had to resort to single baits instead of pellet feeder. We tried a number of swims and similar challenges. Single luncheon meat snagged less but brought eels and a chub. Late afternoon bailiff advised on the Crib swim being less snaggy and it was here I caught 6.9lbs and 7lbs barbel. Some youngsters came to swim in the swim next to me! Politely asked them not to and they apologised and went away! Lovely day, lovely place, friendly bailiff and 2 Barbel!

Weather lovely and fished at top of fishery. Swims very nice but a bit snaggy. Caught 3 Barbel in the morning/lunchtime 7lbs, 8.8lbs, 5lbs and a chub right at the end of the day. A few Eels to luncheon meat as well.

The first time I have ever fished the Wye and what a river! The fish were in excellent condition and so was the river. We caught chub and barbel from both stretches during our trip, with my mate catching a 10.5lb barbel which made our trip.
We will be back soon!

Canoe traffic horrendous. Not worth fishing between 10am and 6.30pm. More chance of winning lottery than catching a barbel! Sunny with showers. All fish caught on pellets between 7 & 9.30pm. Best barbel approx. 8.8lbs. Best chub approx. 4lb.

Lost my wedding ring! If anyone finds it please contact the Foundation. I was fishing the bay swim, first swim, new swim.

Steady flow, most barbel on feeder and pellet, many chub on boilie wrapped in paste plus feeder. As usual a good day out on a WUF ticket! We fished the lower end of the beat in the woods!

Canoeists spoiled the fishing, shame as the beat was nice place to fish. Many thanks to Don for his help.
