Only fished for three hours mid morning. No bites on meat, pellet or boilie.

Overcast and cooler conditions suggested a better day than we had. Although in our defence an unscheduled trip to Hereford eye casualty did make it a truncated day. Both fish to Ian on boillies over pellets from the same swim the fish came from last week, with the barbel going 7.08 so one happy chappy at least. A beautiful beat but one I am yet to come to terms with!

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Another not welcome catch, tiddler brown trout and angry chub.

Not easy but a better day than expected. Very slow on static baits, majority of fish taken on float fished bread including one of the Barbel , the other Barbel and a few Chub taken on meat. Although most canoeists are polite, considerate individuals, apparently it's my "effing fault" that the odd moron amongst them doesn't know left from right. Apart from that and a few hook pulls a very pleasant day on the river.

Fished the peg opposite the house. Access down to the swim was pretty difficult as there had been a lot of rain this morning. I appreciate you leaving it natural but some investment could be made to making access alot safer and overall improve the angling experience. Even the addition of a rope would help.

The fishing itself was fantastic. All fish caught on cage feeder just inside the faster flowing water. All barbel in good condition and were well rested before release. Weights ranged from 4-8 pounds.

Fishing Passport Note : The Wye is an SAC and SSSI, meaning the river and its banks are highly protected under law. There are, therefore, strict limits on what can be done to improve access.

I have fished the Usk for 40 years now and 20 odd years ago I introduced a friend, Tony Baldwin to the Usk. We went our separate fishing ways and lost touch. But today we decided to rekindle an old partnership and he put me to shame with an absolutely beautiful specimen brown of 3 pounds. Well done mate. A privilege to be in such company and thank you Wye and Usk
