We started fishing at 10.15am and neither of us had a touch until 7pm apart from one eel. It switched on about 7pm and we had a busy three hours.

First visit to this stretch, plenty of good swims to go at. River low and clear, caught 4 eels and 1 barbel on meat and feeder. Think they should have w&uf fishing signs up to make it clear its private fishing!

Fished here before and had varying success in different conditions. Today's tally was way above our expectations. Chose a good looking area today and we fished our simple method of bomb and pellet again and just catapulted pellets in the right place all day to keep fish interested. Started mid day until dusk as usual and caught steadily with a better spell in the evening. The barbel scrapped well and we had some chunky specimens with plenty in the 7lb to 8lb range.
Nice to get the centrepin screeching too! Nice to watch the heron hunting and a kingfisher doing well too. Must be a great river for them to survive on.

Another memorable day on the Wye.

Much better conditions today, river still low and clear but more cloud cover. Fished pellet and feeder in the fastest flow and produced a few bites and 4 banked barbel.

River low and clear, weather bright and warm. Fished from 16.00 to 22.00.Hooked and lost a moderate-sized barbel first cast, which was both disappointing and encouraging. I then caught a succession of small barbel between about half a pound and a pound. I changed tactics and bait to try to find the larger fish, but it was not until late evening I had a couple around the 5 to 6 pound mark.

Disappointing. Very hot day. Followed tactics employed by recent anglers ie. variety of pellet hookbaits fished on the lead with loosefeed. Barbel all under 1 lb, largest chub about 2lb. Although it was a pleasant setting, I cant say I saw or experienced anything that justified the £23 day ticket price tag. Some swims were unfishable due to their incredibly steep nature, and others involved such a steep step down to the flat level that I (as someone with limited access due to knee injuries) was unable to fish.

River low and clear, and fish found to be in the faster water. Fished small pellets to get bites in the morning, but found that 12mm pellets were best in the evening.
