5 Barbel

First visit to this stretch and fished from 1pm till 9pm. River low and clear. Started off about half way along the stretch on the faster swims, and had 1 barbel about 4lb at 3pm, caught on 12mm pellet and straight lead.
Then moved to the top swim about 5pm and fished meat catching 1 chub. I then moved back down a couple of swims at 7pm and fished meat to catch 2 small chub and 2 barbel about 7lb/ 8 lb which made my day.

All fish were in great condition and the barbel fought really well. There's only a short walk to the parking and it's a nice peaceful stretch. Some of the pegs are on a slope so would be easy to fall in when its wet, and you need a long landing net handle in some places.

A great day and I would fish this stretch again. Thank you WUF.

We started fishing at 10.15am and neither of us had a touch until 7pm apart from one eel. It switched on about 7pm and we had a busy three hours.

First visit to this stretch, plenty of good swims to go at. River low and clear, caught 4 eels and 1 barbel on meat and feeder. Think they should have w&uf fishing signs up to make it clear its private fishing!

Fished here before and had varying success in different conditions. Today's tally was way above our expectations. Chose a good looking area today and we fished our simple method of bomb and pellet again and just catapulted pellets in the right place all day to keep fish interested. Started mid day until dusk as usual and caught steadily with a better spell in the evening. The barbel scrapped well and we had some chunky specimens with plenty in the 7lb to 8lb range.
Nice to get the centrepin screeching too! Nice to watch the heron hunting and a kingfisher doing well too. Must be a great river for them to survive on.

Another memorable day on the Wye.

Much better conditions today, river still low and clear but more cloud cover. Fished pellet and feeder in the fastest flow and produced a few bites and 4 banked barbel.
