Barbel between 5lb and 7.11. Chub all small up to 2lb. Slow through the day but picked up during the afternoon. Barbel caught on feeder with boilie or pellet in faster water under the near bank. Other fish eels. Nice stretch - good access, parking and very peaceful. River low but fairly coloured. Numerous large fish topping during the afternoon - some salmon seen, also barbel showing.

Bright, sunny,hot. River had moderate flow. Ledgered pellet but frankly nothing was going to be caught today.
Fished 0500 - 1230.

fished from 05:30 until 2ish. Weather was bright and clear, river was low but coloured(algae bloom?).
ended up catching chub on hemp and caster from the swims along the middle of the beat. Couldnt buy a bite on pellet of any kind Hardly saw any signs of fish on the shallows. Swims were well prepped, spoke to the guy who looks after the beat, real nice guy, gave me a few pointers. Car parking limited. there is fishing on the opposite bank too, a couple of anglers turned up as i was leaving.

Went here for the second time in a week trying to catch a barbel, still no barbel, did have 3 decent chub on maggot feeder, river was a lot lower than the previous week, but bites were far and few between,

Very tough going day, our first time fishing the river wye, not sure the cold spell had helped things considering it was -1 most of the day.
River had recently been in flood but had dropped right back down, tried various swims and baits, including meat, pellets, cheese and sweetcorn, managed one cub of around 6 pound, but no barbel, and not even another bite, beautiful piece of river though and will try it again without a doubt.

River still 3m up but fancied another go for the barbel but knew it would be much harder than a few days ago as the rain was now cold, chilling the river. So it proved to be. One barbel landed early on and that was it. Chucked down all day. It was biblical! Can't complain though, catching a barbel the day before Christmas Eve.

Good day on a very high and rising river. By the end of the day I was sat in a few inches of water and that had risen on the path (usually metres above the water level) with the field behind me filling up with water fast. Caught the Wye just right as it burst it's banks today.
