Conditions were tricky on a very high river but managed one at 9lb 8oz and lost two in the fast flow. Fished in the woods in a comfortable swim. The hill was also a lot better to drive on.

Report for PF. River conditions were excellent, with the river rising after 2 days rain. Barbel we’re in a feeding frenzy with the biggest being exactly 10lb. Fantastic day!

Heavy rain. Fished 3 hours. River higher than normal. Chocolate colour. Fast flow.
0 fish caught.

Two weather warnings in place, the rain was hammering down all day and the river high & fast.
Managed to snag a couple of Barbel on the halibut pellets.

Fished a swim in the meadow with a tree stump and dark chalet-style house directly opposite from 0715-0915. Packed up early as I was soaked and it was extremely slippery underfoot. A shame because I think the fish were really on it today. I fished groundbait feeder (4oz) with mixed pellets, and a 14mm pellet (paste wrapped) on hair. Barbel number one came after about half an hour and weighed 9lb 2oz. A PB, so very happy with that. Barbel two was around 6lb. Hooked another but the hook pulled. Torrential rain made the swim I was fishing in the meadow really treacherous. I only saw one other fishable swim - the first swim in the wooded area but I didn't walk any further than that. It was pitch black when I was walking the bank so may have missed other swims. The track is really good now. I drove up it in VERY heavy rain in a 2WD car with no issue at all. Thanks to WUF and/or the land-owners for sorting that out as the previous track put me off fishing Home or TW for two years after a very sketchy ascent before!

Tough days fishing resulting in only the one barbel, but a nice fish to just over 8lb in perfect condition. River pretty coloured following Friday's rain.
Fished a mix of pellet and crushed boilie in open ended feeder.
Nice beat, would definitely return. The track was really nothing to worry about and got down and back up easily.

Great day on the wye, fishing was most productive in the morning. Not loads of tempting pegs in low conditions so day was spent in the same peg close to car park. Great barbel fishing though, chub numbers seem to be lower on this section.
