Lovely stretch of the Wye this one with numerous access points along nearly all the stretch.
Started at the bottom of the stretch on what i thought was the beat limit but was informed that i was below the limit of the island swim. Luckily I only spent the first hour there and managed two really small baby barbel which were absolutely pristine in their colours. A great sign for the future of this river.
A move much further up the beat then saw me lose a decent fish. That's only the second one this season which was hard to take but it happens.
Kingfishers as per usual were super busy and feasting on the minnows around me which is always a joy to see on the river.

Barbel and chub caught at the back of the island under the trees on pellet. Lost a good barbel. Lots of tugs and pulls but not many strikeable bites. Fish were clearly present but cautious in the low water.

Conditions not ideal, only fished for a few hours in the afternoon. Managed to finally land a hard fighting 8lb 5oz barbel from the faster water on rolled meat.

The day started great after a leisurely breakfast at The Olde Ferry Inn we piled into the motors and headed for Home Fisheries. After a bit of a twisty journey we ended up at the said fishery. By 1030 on the second cast a 6 1/2 lb barbel was in the bag and I was feeling confident of more. Unfortunately that was it for Barbel. 2 more fish followed a 4lb 13oz Chubb (a new PB) and an eel. The river got busy with canoes and the fish seemed to switch off. A lovely beat with great access
