A cracking two days . The beat looked stunning with the Autumnal colours starting to show , along with frequent flypasts from Kingfishers . We fished four of the swims catching Barbel in three of them . In total we landed 8 barbel to 9lbs 3oz with a number of 7lbers , and a cracking Chub at 5lbs 13ozs alongside two minnows ????. The Deer in the meadow late evening were the icing on the cake .

Tough day at Thomas wood , very limited swims and the ones that are there quite steep and slippy .
Only 1 chub caught all day , more access to the river would make this a nice beat .

Steve Twine caught 2 barbel 6-7 lbs. Using spiced meat. Lawrence Smith caught 1 eel about 4 Ounces on Maggot. The river was flooding, extremely high and very fast flowing, light winds and heavy rain all day.

River was in better condition, however challenging with a fair bit of weed flowing through. 1 barbel around the 7 mark fell to meat, with a few chub on trotting tactics. Going was tough but enjoyable day.

Lovely stretch with well maintained swims and good access.

First visit to the Wye while on holiday and had high hopes, arrived early to have a good look around and get set up. Pegs along the meadow were disapointingly very overgrown and certainly didn't look as managed as I expected for the amount we paid to fish, ended up fishing near the car park as this gave reasonable safe access for my relatively inexperienced companion despite the drop to the water due to low river levels. Unfortunately however with constant disruptions from unbelievable amounts of canoe tourists we gave up fishing as a bad idea and left empty handed. Certainly won't visit here again during the weekend , we found it a busy noisey river and not the wild peacefull place I expected it to be. Would be Happy to accept a refund if offered,certainly not a venue I would currently recommend to friends.
The 3 "other " listed in the catch list were snagged canoes, not fish unfortunately!
