Blanked. Fished groundbait feeder and pellet, tried a piece of peperami on hair also. I snagged up on weed a fair bit and lost a couple of feeders. I am a fairly inexperienced angler so put my blank down to that. Tried a few swims but should have watched Deano’s Diary on the stretch before going as I wasn’t sure how to fish the island swim. Having watched that again now I realise I would have probably found barbel there. Beautiful piece of river, will be back! Thanks land owner and Wye and Usk Foundation. Loved the day despite no fish. Learnt a lot.

Nice to see a bit more water on the wye,4 of the barble were under 2lb and 1 around 4lb
Not the biggest of fish but nice to see some young ones

What a difference a day makes - nothing caught on the same beat yesterday, but after 12-15 inches of rain last night, 5 barbel 4-8lb,and 2 baby barble 20-24 ounces, plus 1 2lb chub, all caught in the afternoon/ early evening - last fish 7.45pm when regret I had to leave.

As expected not great conditions, but still an enjoyable day out even though no fish caught. Several knocks on hair meat but likely these was an eel(s)

Slow day, lost one good fish, barbel for sure
