A fantastic day, afternoon with the owner and his grandson accounting for 4 of the barbel. Pellet and groundbait in the feeder with CCMoor boilies.

On the river at 0630 first fish at 1330 five of the barbel were under 2lb in whieght one was about six ounces .one 53/4 pounds and one 31/2 pounds and a couple around 21/2 pounds . Chub were all chublets and couple of eels plus a few small roach . Nice to see young barbel ,but would have preferred to meet there older relatives. Best bait sweet corn again with hemp .As regards the fishery we found only three spot we could get to along the whole length . But on the opposite bank a plethora of spots with good access and comfortable places to fish from . I would not recommend the outlay we have paid for three days fishing and the cost to get here for what you get , I can accept a bad days fishing but poor access ,the river like Piccadilly circus ,and hideous music blaring from canoes is not worth the cost .

Fishing Passport Note : Having asked the fishery owner for information, Thomas Wood has 20 or more swims, some more accessible than others. Access in low (and high) water may be difficult and this is typical of many Wye fisheries. We are more than happy to give advice on which beats may suit specific requirements prior to booking.
