Nice fish first cast then nothing as the weather closed in. Still better than working even though we were soaked.

We only fished the afternoon, and low levels made it tricky, but we had plenty of chub to 6.2lb and a single barbel at last knocking...

1 Barbel, 10 Chub

Arrived around midday and selected one of the last pegs that was fishable.

River was low and approx 4ft deep in the middle. Second chuck and the rod wrapped around for a 7lb barbel, an hour later another was in the landing net at 5lb. Both taken on garlic pellet over ground bait feeder.

A few chub taken over the course of the afternoon and then we both lost barbel towards the end of the session.

First time on the Wye and I must say I was quite disappointed with this beat despite it being 2/3rds of a mile in length. There are literally three swims you can fish from and two of those would be treacherous in wet weather. Not for the feint hearted or angler with mobility issues.

We stayed at The Annexe (Stay by the Wye) in Hole in the Wall which I can highly recommend.

Couple of hours on the lower best to start, had a couple (10" & 12") and lost a smaller one.
Then a few hours on the upper beat which is very scenic and a lovely stretch of water. No fish landed there although a couple lost including what looked a good fish in one of the deeper pools.
Only the odd sporadic rise here and there so mainly fished a nymph.
