Difficult day. River very low and clear. A few small chublets, one decent chub and one barbel on the waggler. No bites at all on the feeder.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished the top of the beat in the afternoon in the heat of a scorching day and received not a single bite for my efforts. Moved downstream and fished the beach in the evening with the desired effect. Lots of interest from the resident barbel and two 5 pounders landed plus an eel. The former on halibut pellets and the latter on a piece of luncheon meat. A wonderful beat, great vehicle access and a very friendly farmer. Banks are very steep at the top end but the lower end is pretty easy going, I even managed to get a chair out. Many thanks to WUF.

Very hard conditions, steaming hot and low river combined.
We only caught 1 barbel and 1 chub. But the Barbel weighed 9 pound and was in mint condition. Still a very enjoyable day.

It was a very windy day with conditions not ideal. Both my brother and I were trying for barbel fishing halibut pellets on open ended feeder rigs. My brother caught 4 barbel to about 6lbs in weight and I caught 1 barbel and 1 small chub. Very enjayable day in lovely surroundings.

Only 2 anglers in party although there were 5 anglers on the opposite bank. Warm overcast day river was running low.
Walked the whole stretch and settled for 2 pegs at very bottom of stretch in fast water. No action so moved early afternoon and my friend fished edge of pool and caught several chub, I fished in front of 'salmon hut' and caught 3 barbel on boilie pellet best about 7.5 lb. Packed up at about 7pm.

A superb day in beautiful secluded surroundings. The river was relatively low. All the fish came from the faster water near to the parking area. We caught steadily throughout the day. All fish fell to pellet and groundbait feeder. First time on the Wye. Definitely coming back!

No fish caught again. Please note very disappointed to see 6 people turn up to fish on a stretch for 4 - luckily we got there early and had been able to secure our swims.
River was very low, fished with swim feeders, using every bait that we had with us.

WUF note - Please contact the Foundation office on the day of fishing to report any possible poaching incidents so they can be addressed immediately.

4 anglers fished mainly leger/feeder tactics, very hard going with the fish in one specific spot lower down the beat. River at normal summer level and rose a few inches whilst we fished.
