lots of chub up to 5lb and 2 barbel to 7lb

Caught 1 eel on luncheon meat, approximately just over one pound in weight.

Brilliant days fishing on a fabulous stretch of the Wye. Great access right across the beat in your motor, well maintained pegs and loads of swim choice.

Had 7 barbel on Elips Pellets from the faster water at the top end, pulled out of 4 more due to poor angling (how do they always know when you're looking away, pouring coffee, doing Wordle...?) Also fished the deeper water after a break for lunch and lost count of the chub, chublets and dace (all on 4mm pellet).

Fast becoming my favourite stretch.

River up bit and a touch of colour. Fished the slower water on the near bank for a couple of chub but then moved down to the faster water on the inside and picked up the barbel , all within an hour. Sticky baits 16mm Krill did the damage for those who think its important. Find the fish and bait selection is academic in my experience but bait companies have to make a living so whatever you have confidence in go with.

The conditions were good for barbel fishing as it was overcast with showers and also the river was up and had colour. We mainly fished with the feeder with luncheon meat and pellets as hookbait although we also tried rolling meat. Even though we tried different swims and fished until sunset we weren't fortunate enough to catch any barbel but had some nice chub (the largest was 4.5 lbs) and two eels.

A rising river but the first flush through so loads of silk weed made fishing really hard. Found a sunken tree and fished behind that with reduced weed issues I managed 4 barbel with 2 over 8Ib and 2 at just over 5Ib. Great stretch as always. Love the Wye

Back in the same swim. Lost a barbel early doors then had a frustrating morning and early afternoon trying to get the fish to bite properly, then had a mad 20 minutes where I caught 2 barbel and a chub before it went dead again. 9.30 and a chub then lowered the bait in and it was off again before I even had the chance to put the rod back in the rest. Feeder and pellets used but I did watch another angler trotting a float down and catch a number of barbel so will bear that in mind for the future.

Lovely stretch of water, will be coming back for another go here. Fished the faster water and managed to catch some barbel just like it was a couple of years ago. Showers made the banks rather slippery which is why I slipped and fell in, still caught the barbel though!
Feeder and pellets were the successful tactics.
