First time on Wye and Usk Foundation water and will be returning again! Fished the meadow below the orchid, angler 1 unfortunatly didnt catch, angler 2 had 5 barbel up to 7 1/2lbs and 2 chub on halibut pellets, and angler 3 being myself had 7 barbel biggest weighing 9lbs, 2 at 8lbs 1 of 7lbs and also 6 chub ranging from 3lbs to 5lbs. All fish were caught on boilies.

Sat 21st July: 9 Barbel to 7lbs 14oz, 2 Chub and a (PB?) 10oz Dace. Fish fed better in the morning than later on.

Sun 22nd July: A much tougher day, the hot sun seemed to put the barbel off. Decided to fish a new swim at the bottom end, managed to take 4 Barbel, a Chub, a couple of Dace and a nice suntan.

River conditions perfect but only managed to catch 1 barbel around 6lb on pellet. I only managed to fish in the afternoon and it was very hot and sunny.
It is a lovely stretch of river and I will return to fish it again early morning and late evening when I'm sure it will be more productive.

8 barbel caught between two of us, biggest 8Ibs 5oz. A beautiful stretch of river with plenty of great looking areas to fish. All fish caught on pellets.

The river had risen with yesterdays heavy rain being 5ft up and swim selection was very limited. Despite 4 of us fishing all day we only managed 2 barbel between us - very dissappointing as normally find fish feeding well in such conditions.

25 barbel 20 chub on pellet and meat. Caught fish from the top wood down to the bottom meadow.

DOZEN OR SO BARBEL AND PLENTY OF CHUB FROM TOP OF WOODS TO MEADOW SECTION. ALL FISH TAKEN ON SMALL PELLET. NOT ELIPS PELLETS BUT THE CHEAPEST I COULD FIND.

River fished harder than yesterday and we struggled to keep the fish feeding. Managed 8 Barbel and only a few Chub between the 2 rods.

This was our second visit to Sugwas and the knowledge gained from the first visit paid off. One rod caught 12 Chub and 4 Barbel and the second 6 Chub and 7 Barbel.
All the fish were taken on pellet and groundbait feeder using meat, cheese , pellet and boilies as hook baits.
Both rods spent the day roving between the orchard and the wooded area above the field.
Great beat and even the extreme wet weather didn't dampen the day.

6 Barbel, best fish 9lb 14oz, others all in 4 - 8lb range, 6 Chub, best fish 5lb 5oz, others in 2.5lb to 4lb range, all taken on luncheon meat or strips of beef.
