Caught on pellet feeder

3 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished the Bridge Pool and Gravel catch from 6pm tonight. Water beautifully cleared since yesterday and at about 1ft 8". At about 7pm a 8lb cock fish took my #10 Usk Grub from the edge of the fast water on the far side of the pool and about 25 yards downstream of the wires.

Sorry but first a moan. After hearing a bird chirping in the bushes for sometime I decided to look, as this seemed odd. I was saddened what I found. A robin caught up in a huge ball of fishing line. I cut all the line & released it. Wrapping up the line & putting it in my bag. There must have been nearly a full spool. Anglers please you are sitting amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the country don't spoil it with your arrogance. If I can take it home so can you. That said unfortunately a cold night coloured water & a very fast flow (even the canoeists looked scared) didn't look good. And so it proved just one small barbel. But always a joy to be on the Wye. Looking forward to next time. Thank you WUF

Water condition excellent after yesterday's wash off, but fishing tricky in bright sunshine.

Tough day after very low overnight temperatures of 4 degrees, water level falling from 1.1m. Moved several times between end of wood crib and through to the end of Legg Meadow. All fish caught close in.

This was our first visit to the Creel and can see why it is such a popular venue for those of us that fish the Wye on a regular basis.
A beautiful stretch and a glorious Autumn day added to the uplifting experience of fishing there..all we had to do was try and catch a few fish to cap a perfect day. We had no success float fishing in the strong flow but groundbait feeder found the Barbel and also our first double...a fantastic fish weighing 10lb 4oz!!
Needless to say but we look forward to returning next year and thank the WUF for their assistance once again.

Despite good water conditions I fished through the beat once and didn't see or connect with any salmon. A very nice well maintained beat.

River was high but on the way down. Fished from 9am till 7pm. A few barbel early on and then the usual middle of the day quiet period before it picked up again later. Only four swims as such to pick from. A beautiful warm, sunny and enjoyable day!

Interesting and varied beat. Just not my day
