Fished from the island all day out of the rapids at the bottom end. No one time of the day was busier than the other, biggest of the barbel was around 8lb and biggest chubb around 4lb to a mixture of bait including pellets and luncheon meat.

The track down to the beat is challenging in a normal car and if there has been some rain, had issues going back up and nearly got stuck, had to turn around, go down to the bottom and was successful on second attempt.

Tough river conditions - low, slow and green - made it hard to come by a bite. Tried along the whole stretch with feeder/pellet tactics. The barbel came late in the day from the island pool. The eels from the pumping station stretch. Barbel 6lb, chub 1-5lb, eels 1-3lb. Lovely stretch of river and a good day despite the slow fishing, thanks WUF we'll look forward to coming back in the aumtimn.

The river was still low and a murky brown like our previous trip to Lower carrots a couple of weeks ago.
We fished opposite the wood crib on the opposite beat. Flow was near standstill in the upper portion of the beat opposite the water treatment works.
We started at 8am and didn't get any bites until 3pm, the flow of canoes was probably the highest I have ever seen in the years that I have been fishing the middle and lower Wye, quite literally constant from 10am until 3pm.
Most of the canoeists were courteous and accommodating, but every now and again groups of Stags/Hens etc would pass in an inebriated state, making loads of noise, playing music, running into our lines etc.
Probably not the best place to fish at the weekend! unless early or late in the day.
Despite out trials, we did manage to catch some fish, including a Barbel on the cusp of 9lb, so by far from a bad day all told. Feeder and pellet accounting for the fish. The lower part of the beat also looked interesting with good pace, but as we had fed our swims during the course of the day we stuck it out there for the evening. Thank you to WUF and the estate for the access to the fishing
