1 eel caught fished pellet.

Another hard day in bright sunshine. One barbel and two chub before 11am and then nothing till 4pm. Caught another 8 barbel between us from three different swims towards the bottom of the stretch. All fish fell to pellet. Best fish about 8lb.

A dificult day in hot sunny conditions. We struggled during the day with only one barbel caught. However sport improved from 7pm onwards, although eels were active when fishing meat. It is always a pleasure just to be here regardless of the sport and I was pleased to see the new swims cut out. We look forward to trying these in future.

All fish caught on feeder using pellet on the far bank after the canoe traffic had died down. Nothing near side.

Another stunning stretch - less accessible swims than the other stretches we fished but there are certainly enough to go at. Again struggled on a low clear river but persevered and managed to get three nice Chub in the end from the faster water. Great weekend - must have seen easily 50 Salmon leap out of the water over the three days. Despite what some reports say if you follow the maps and the instructions you can't go wrong. Thank you Wye Usk Foundation

River low, but slightly coloured which I'm sure helped. Cut out a new peg down from the tree line, although would recommend a rope to use it. Fished there first thing without a touch. Moved to the faster water 2/3's of the way down and caught 4 barbel (up to 7lb 12oz). Bites stopped after 90 mins. Returned in the evening and fished the new peg. Caught 5 barbel in the last 2 hours before sunset.

river conditions good, decent flow. Fished with pellet, hoped to have caught a few more barbel but just one of those days! Bit concerned about the parking by the trees; when it rains that area is all but impossible for anything other than a 4 x 4 and then tricky. Any chance of some hardcore/hard standing since parking by the grid is now restricted to one car?

Upstream section very limited for swims.
First swim of downstream section produced 3 barbel to 7.4lbs and 3 chub further down. I had 2 barbel and 2 chub plus lost 2 barbel bites on corn, best using time bomb filled with corn. More bites than using pellets.
