There were four of us. Lovely section but agree with previous comments regarding access.

The swims in the first field were ok but further downstream access to the river is poor. The opposite side is a non starter

Water levels and colour were very good,only fished the woods area, the others were all eels, they were a problem all day, any meat baits they were on it. I would say to fish most swims you need a 3m landing net pole, very difficult to land and release fish from most swims.

Not a huge amount of swims to choose from between the 2 of us. River looked good, nice colour, maybe flowing a tad fast. Not many bites, but no blank. I think the sudden change in over night temperature effected the fishing. Other was eel.

6 on trotted luncheon meat 5 to feeder tactics. Loose feed hemp & sweetcorn. Again sadly no barbel, 4 visits to the Wye so far this year, 3 different venues and no barbel. A very enjoyable day.

Nice to be out in the September sunshine, and I can only offer that, and the very low water levels for a blank day. My first visit here this year, there are a lot of big fallen trees in and across the brook. But then, it’s a wild stream.
