Really gloomy day with river around a meter up but clearing well. No barbel today but 3 chub around 3-5lbs on pellet.

Had a good three and a half hours fishing. Two Barbel of 7lb 2oz and 6lb 12oz, together with four Chub between 2lb and 3lb 8oz. All on ledgered luncheon meat. Limited fishing to a short session as rain started to come down making the bank very slippery and dangerous (to a 60 year old) especially when trying to land, weigh and release fish. However, great to be out on the river. Hope to be back again soon.

3 barbel, 1 chub caught on flavored luncheon meat. Had to leave early to drive back to Suffolk. Saw a mink swim past me and all sorts of wildlife, kingfishers being my favorite. Will definately return here as soon as possible. Love the Wye!

One bite, one chub on maggots but apart from excessive number of pheasants and a pleasant day. First time on beat, parking a problem as field not available due to ground conditions.

6 barbel, 1 chub. Lovely day on a great beat! Pellets and groundbait in feeder was winning method on the day.

P. 1 x Barbel 6.5lbs plus lots of small dace.

Bait; bronze maggots, pellets, boilies.

After struggling on a rising river yesterday, we were relieved to find it dropping quite rapidly today, although still chocolate in colour. RB went for the static approach in a swim at the lower end of the beat and RW took a roving approach. RB had bites steadily throughout the day ending up with 6 barbel including two 8 pounders, and 2 chub. RW had to work hard for his fish, and caught 5 barbel to 6lb with 2 lost in two short bursts of action from different swims. All fish were caught on a mixture of boilies and halibut pellet.

Rod 1 - 12 Barbel 3 - 10lb 2oz, 1 Chub.
Rod 2 - 4 Barbel 8 - 9lb 6oz.

7 fish caught, a combination of Chub and Barbel with the largest Barbel being 7lb. The parking in the field was impossible due to the weather.

River a couple of feet up and holding. 11 barbel (from 3lb to 8lb) and a couple of chub caught. All fish came from either the pool at the bottom of the beat or the well trodden peg in the middle before the line of poplars. All fish caught on halibut pellet.
