Bright and cold fished legg meadow no bites all day.

In total contrast to the last time i fished when the river was way up!River back down to normal winter level. At present this stretch is being very kind to me as on a glorious spring like day in the Wye Valley I recorded my third double from this beat. only the one barbel but what a stunning looking beast and in mint condition and what a scrap - 10lb 7oz of pure perfection. The bite came out of the blue in late afternoon and finished the day off with a couple of chub at dusk. Will be back real soon!!

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

A pleasant day, with the river fining down after last weekend’s high levels. Only one bite though, to pellet feeder fished with a cut down boilie. Not a sniff on maggot, much to my surprise. Lots of bird life to watch though as always

1 Barbel

River was still pushing through quite hard with a touch of colour. I opted to fish with meat that I had coloured and marinated with my home made tikka sauce with some small offerings of meat and pellet in a PVA bag. Had one barbel to 5 lbs and a 3 1/2 lb chub.

No outstanding catch return here! River levels extremely high as the early morning recorded a level of 3.5ft and by the end of the session was 8.5ft! Was thinking of a wash off but you never know with barbel and floodwater as in the past have done well on other rivers with high levels. Fished my usual line of attack with baits etc but very difficult to hold anywhere apart from the near margin. Suffice to say it wasn't to be this time round and didn't even have a single bite. Still a cracking place to be in the Wye valley

Lovely crisp day with a blanket of snow on the ground, would’ve made a lovely photo opportunity with a pike but it wasn’t to be. Two rods fished dawn til dusk with ledgered dead baits. One take missed and another fish lost, both took a sardine. Beautiful stretch of river, will definitely be back for revenge!

Just 2 chub today! Not big ,between 2/ 3 lb each

Tough going, but managed to get 2 Pike, 11lb & 9lb. First fish fell to a float ledgered bluey tail and the second to a suspended sardine.

Sadly the beat was not accessible as road closed for resurfacing. Rang Don for advice and he let me fish Wyebank instead. Temp not above 5c all day but a nice chub hung itself on the line to make me feel better.
