Fished the new weir area from 4pm. Had two good chub almost immediately then nothing until I moved upstream a little then 2 more chub followed by a barbel at about 8.30. Chub between 3 and 4'8'' and barbel about 6". Hot but good sport throughout

Freeled luncheon meat between the Weir pool and the boathouse took 3 barbel and a chub.
Would be an amazing stretch with another couple of foot of water....

The river was very low and it rained all day, so not the ideal conditions. Some pegs were treturous due to the slippery mud. The fish weren’t really interested until the sun moved around behind the trees at about 7pm, but thankfully they turned up and i caught [and lost] a few. Hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder on my next trip down!

Chub caught trotting sweet corn with sweet corn and hemp as loose feed. Barbel caught in the last hour of daylight using pellet and feeder tactics.

I have fished this spot since 1985 as a child on/off when a salmon syndicate used to lease it. It's always been a great spot for chub on the floating crust. The best water level to fish however is the lower wall level on the weir gardens side. So the recent drought we have is not really perfect. 6 great chub however and a big pike around 10-15lb chasing my sons rapala J11. My biggest pike from here is 27lb on a Roach dead bait. It's great to see salmon pink also in the fast water and trout jumping too. I didn't try barbel as this is a new species in this location. So it was great to bring the family over from ireland to savour my old haunt and the wye usk foundation have done a great job in keeping this fishery in a healthy condition.

Fished the 2 swims just downstream of the 4x4 parking spot. The nearest of the 2 produced 2 barbel of 6 & 7lbs. The next swim along produced 2 small chub. Also hooked and lost 2 other barbel over the course of the day. All fish caught looked in good condition and went back well. Used luncheon meat & halibut pellets, on a swimfeeder packed with ground bait & hemp. River is looking low but there are still a few spots with enough water to be worth fishing. Having fished upstream of the 4x4 spot yesterday, would definitely recommend going downstream. Beautiful stretch of river. Lovely day had by all.
