A tough day at the office after a lot of the overhanging trees had recently been removed, but we managed to find a couple later on in the day.

A very difficult day on a venue we usually do well on the " other " fish was a big eel.

A very unusual blank in very good conditions.

River rose about 0.3m overnight and it was pushing through quite strongly. Had a small chub and 5lb barbel in the morning but then it went very quiet before I had to leave at 5pm.

Lovely stretch well looked after. Caught barbel second cast then slow until 3 then steadily picked up 5 more. Chub all in afternoon.

6 Barbel, 4 Chub

River was rising slowly so felt confident. No weed or debris issue however the fishing was hard. Managed 3 chub from 9 different swims. Lovely stretch as always and well trimmed banks makes access easy.

Fished swims that have produced barbel in the past but they were not feeding. Lovely day all the same though.

Great to be back on the River Wye again, arrived very early with high expectations, the river was coloured and rising slightly, tried meat and boilie through fishmeal & pellet ground bait feeder or a straight lead, however the fishing proved very hard on a very shallow beat and a real struggle to get a bite, however despite moving @ six times perseverance shined and finally hooked into a nice chub of @ 4.5lb … anything was better than a blank, unfortunately the Barbel had other idea's!
Bankside access was good with grass cut recently, care was needed in places as the ground was soft under foot and treacherous in places from the previous two days rain showers.
Canoe traffic was non-existent but the few that did pass were very courteous.
Thanks WUF and the land owner for great access to a beautiful river with all the nature that comes with it.
Called it a day at mid-day and sped home to spend father’s day with the family.

What a difference a day makes !!!
The river had dropped overnight and the chocolate brown colour had gone to be replaced by a pleasing greyish green and the air temperature was up several degrees. We felt confident and doubled up in one swim.
A lovely 8lbs barbel first cast and the bites continued at regular intervals. 8 barbel in total - five over 8 lbs with the best 8.12 lbs plus three over 6lbs. Also one chub of 4lbs. A great day on our favourite W&U stretch!
