Ten barbel to 8;pounds 6 ounces. 11 chub. All fish on 8 mm pellet

10 Barbel, 11 Chub

A hard day’s fishing!
Very hot and bright. Nothing from the lower section in the morning and nothing from the upper section in the afternoon!
All methods and baits tried. Pellet and meat on the feeder and trotting.
Late afternoon on the middle section of the beat produced one chub of 4lb and one barbel of 8lb 12oz. Both the meat pellet.
Possibly the most beautiful beat of The Wye though!

Two anglers fished. Very tough day with only 2 chub caught, biggest around the 2lb mark. After good day yesterday on different beat catching lots of good chub we focused in the morning trying for barbel with big baits but not a sniff. In the afternoon we would have settled for anything with fins but despite trying lots of swims, methods and baits they just didn't seem very interested and just 2 small chub to show for our efforts. Conditions seemed good but Just one of those days the fishing gods deciided to laugh at our struggles.

Had the beat to myself today,no anglers on opposite bank,strange?were they all football fanatics or did they know something I didn’t? Had a nice chat with Andy the keeper, started fishing at 11.30 by 1pm nothing to show for my efforts, not even a bite! Time for a change of plan. A move quickly resulted in 2 barbel and chub, then went quiet again, by constantly moving between 4 swims managed to have a good day in the end. Barbel 3.5 to10lbs3oz including an 8 & a 9 at last some bigger fish. Chub 2 to 4lbs

8 Barbel, 7 Chub

Only one fish caught today but it was a very nice Barbel of just over 8lbs caught on a halibut pellet.
Enjoyed our 2 days fishing in stunning surroundings.
Will be back.
