A very wet and slippery day and the fish were obliging!

Excellent day on the river. Our first time on the Wye yielded some cracking fish. Barbel averaged 7lb plus with a couple towards 10lb.
Chub to around 5lb and 4 eels to 3lb.
Helpful advice from the keeper put us on the fish throughout the afternoon on a falling river after a rise of about a foot the previous day. Thanks.

Great day

Hopes were high as conditions looked good but we couldn’t find the barbel until late in the evening, and then just the one on the feeder.
The afternoon spent trotting was lovely though. A lovely beat with well maintained access to swims. Thanks.

Perfect looking swim but very low water and hot , full on sunshine which made fishing unbearable as difficult to find shade after 1.00pm. Only one angler fished and only 2 small chub from an ideal swim which shouted Barbel!
I will return - when weather cools down.

Great beat but could be difficult to access in wet weather conditions. River very low and weather too hot and sunny for fishing but 4 anglers managed a few barbel and lots of chub. Pellet/feeder and cheese on the float caught fish today. Access to the barbel pegs was ok in the dry and some have rope and stake to assist but could be difficult in wet conditions. Overall a great day in difficult conditions but we will be back when there is a bit more water on.

Normal feeder tactics. Would of been better if I’d stayed later, also if there wasn’t 2 family’s swimming where I was fishing.
