Little brownie ,released

1 Trout

All barbel between 5-10lbs. Fish all came from the bottom end near the car park.

10 Barbel, 3 Chub

Great days fishing, 3 anglers most of the fish coming to ground bait and pellet feeder, and 2 barbel on stick float and meat

23 Barbel, 18 Chub

Although good conditions, water height and colour decent, weather dry and a little overcast, bites were hard to come by. We only had 1 fat eel from the croy at the top of the beat on ledgered meat and a chub in the slow section at the bottom of the beat on pellet with swimfeeder. The croy, with faster water is a good walk up if you’re carrying gear, beware. Looks a great spot for float fishing but alas we were only equipped for ledgering tactics. Some work is needed to open up a few more swims in the faster water section. Saw kingfishers and a large fresh salmon leap upstream of the croy next to opposite bank a few times. A few respectful canoes came past.

1 Chub, 1 Other

Tried a mixture of methods, baits and swims but very quiet all round. Saw a couple of salmon jumping and plenty of wildlife but the fish were elusive!

1 Chub

The conditions today where perfect, the tactics I used at first was feeder fishing with size 10 barbless a hook with luncheon meat on a hair rig fished with chopped luncheon meat and small pellets. I casted into slacks meeting fast water along gravel. The only issue we had was the farmer complaining to us that we have stayed too long and he will make sure we are banned from fishing the River Wye. We stayed exactly one hour after sunset so I’m not sure what the issue was unless I’ve got something wrong?
