Good day for chub but not the best for barbel which was surprising considering the ideal conditions. Alternated between 2-3 swims . Hoping the dusk period would bring on the barbel but the only one I had just came out in the middle of the afternoon. A good number of swims here with ropes down to a fair number of them which is encouraging . Chub up to 5lb and the barbel was just under 7lb all taken on meat not a touch on the boilies

4 anglers fished . (booking of 3 & 1). Although the river was in perfect condition the fishing was hard with only 3 of us catching out of 4. 4 barbel ,one chub and an eel.

Last day of three on the beautiful River Wye. First 2 days produced 17 barbel so I was looking forward to today but a horrible wind, bright sunshine and falling river made it difficult.

All 3 fish caught near the first car park on glugged Robin Reds - one at 09.30 and the last 2 just as the light faded. Very enjoyable day nonetheless

The river looked just about perfect but the fishing was tough. 2 anglers and both started near the fishing hut with a couple of early morning fish. We then moved to the field beyond the woods section and caught most of the chub and barbel. All fish were caught on meat. Had my first ever encounter with a very inquisitive otter which ended up sitting on a rock about 2 feet away from me. I thought that would put an end to the fishing and seconds later had the best barbel of the day!!
We both really enjoy fishing this stretch but experience shows that you have to keep moving!

Water level up by over a metre since summer levels. Barbel came from the faster water on feeder and hinders baits.
Wadeing and trotting not an option today.
Be aware of wasp nest in the steps of the last peg on the far side still very active.
