Lovely stretch of river second time we have fished here.
3 rods fished and caught 11 Barbel & 3 Chub on pellet.
Met Colin for the first time. Nice chap plenty of useful information will definitely be back.

Arrived at 8.00am and spent the day in the most wonderful countryside - amazing. Only managed 1 nice barbel of 7lbs all day. 2 others lost. Definitely will be back soon..thanks wuf and Adam.

No salmon - 2 trout on stoats tails.

Having fished The Wye around Hereford for the 2 previous days, we had a feeling the fishing was not going to be easy as bites had been hard to come by. Unfortunately things didn't improve very much fishing Courtfield. We met Mr Macer-Wright who was as friendly and helpful as he could be. Many thanks to him. He advised Steve and myself to fish Wood Crib and Big Willow upstream peg. From the latter peg I managed to catch a chub and two nice barbel weighing 7lb and 7lb 4oz from right across on the gravel run just upstream. My mate however couldn't make a bite so we decided to move into Legg Meadow. I unfortunately fished Legg Meadow bottom swim across to the far bank but never had a single indication. Steve however fished the New Swim and just before dark had a barbel estimated 8lb+. All 3 fish fell to 2 x 8mm halibut pellets fished on the feeder with hemp and 4mm pellet.

First time on this stretch. Tough day. Caught 2 Barbel to 7 1/2 lbs & 2 Chub between three rods. Caught on pellet & tried meat & corn.

Last throw for salmon and blanked again. Did have one pull and caught a trout of about a pound at Cillau Falls.

Beat directions in need of a re write. A bit inaccurate in part. Separate note to WUF.

Had an enjoyable last day of the season fishing below Ross. My friend Peter had his first ever Wye salmon a hen fish of 11 Ib on a size 8 copper ally's shrimp on a type 3 sink tip, while I managed a cock fish of 13lb on a size 8 Glenfarclas on a hover intermediate and type 5 tip.

Just by the Rock, caught a 5lb cock grilse on a size 12 stoats tail, released.

A testing wet and windy day but managed to tempt 11 Grayling (largest 16") and a couple of out of season WBT mainly to dries. In these conditions I was particularly thankful to be guided by the seemingly waterproof Oliver Burch. The Czech nymphing accounted for two fish but most success was had by rotating various dries - Tan Klink, Grayling Steel Blue, Red Tag and Orange Otter. Finally driven off this beautiful stretch by the elements (my numbing hands I confess). Thanks again to Oliver, wouldn't want to guess what my catch would have been without your advice, and to the Cammarch Hotel for a warm welcome.

First Wye Barbel caught at 6lbs 9oz. Fought well in the current and in excellent condition. Only bite of the day and fell to pellet in conjuction with a groundbait feeder. Father in law caught a Dace a cast and had a nice Chub to finish the day. Weed became a problem during the day which forced us to fish close in. We will be back to fish the Wye again!
