Nothing caught or seen disappointing as water right for travelling fish

My first time time to this beat and it won't be my last. A really well managed and very scenic part of the Wye with easy access to all of the pegs.

I managed to catch 5 decent size Chub with feeder tactics in the middle section. I lost one good barbel to a hook pull which was a little annoying so need to check those in the future. The river was pushing through at about 1m but falling during the day so decided not to try a trot which may have been a mistake although controlling the float would have been a bit tricky.

The lack of barbel was probably down to my angling experience rather than anything else looking at previous posts and I would thoroughly recommend a day's fishing here.

5 Chub

Access very good (If you have a 4x4) River in good condition. First time on venue, lots of canoes but enjoyable all the same

2 Barbel, 1 Chub, 5 Other

A slow day but great fun in a beautiful spot. All small fish about 1/2-3/4 of a pound plus a swallow that took the dropper whilst the rod propped against the bank and I was unhooking a fish. Netted and returned undamaged to flight.

Stopped off at the Edw, which looked a little too high and coloured after a heavy shower, and went on to the Duhonw, which was clear but running at quite a pace. Fished up between the two road bridges with nymphs which produced a couple of small brownies and a salmon parr.

River higher than normal and very pacey, just managed to hold bottom using a 3 ounce feeder but still a very good days fishing. Barbel range from 5lb 3oz to 8lb 14oz and chub up to 4lb 8oz.
