had one small barbel in the morning and that was it for the day . fished the legg meadow but didnt get any
action for the rest of the day. we ought to have been a bit more mobile and moved around a bit but for one reason or another we stuck it out in one swim and hoped the evening would bring the bites. it didnt . but thats fishing. lovely place to fish .

Fished the meadow, had 4 barbel, 10lb 4oz, 9lb 14oz, 9lb 14oz and 6lb. Two good sized chub as well. River seemed in good condition with plenty of large looking pike seen chasing fry out in front of me all day long. Should have packed the lure rod too! King fishers, buzzards and tree creepers were seen regularly and definitely outnumbered the canoes today! Fish came to simple Pellet and small PVA bag tactics fished in the faster water mid stream. Nice to meet Don the bailiff who was very friendly and helpful. A lovely beat, the only improvement as mentioned in the report below would be a little more room for parking if more than a couple of anglers are booked on.

fished the legg meadow , usual pellet/feeder combo .barbel were 6 and 8 lb, but the star of the show was a 6lb 4oz chub
which is a pb on the wye for me. Its a lovely place to fish, nice and peaceful , plenty of wildlife to keep you occupied, but I would comment that whilst access is easy at the pumping station it can only take two cars although a bit further along
you can park on the verge (one car) but its not ideal . We did talk to Don and he explained the issues and efforts are being made to improve parking. The swims are (during lowish water conditions)down steep banks and when wet quite slippery and for those of us of more "mature " years , you would need a team of sherpas to get up and down the bank. that said, there are a couple of swims in the meadow that are just about fishable for the older gent...... will certainly try it again.

Early frost, river back to low and slow. onditions seemed perfect but despite trying a number of spots and bait options, bites were hard to come by. 1 smallish chub and 1 clonking 11lb barbel, a PB!

Thanks WUF.

Tough day, conditions looked good, although river very clear and lots of canoes. Managed a couple of nice Barbel, 8lb and 9lb5oz, lovely piece of river.

Tough day due to very high, fast water. Forced to fish under the rod tip which did still produce eventually but super hard going. Big smelly paste covered baits eventually worked.
