Hard day on low river in hot bright sunshine with no bites until late afternoon. Perseverance paid off with too late barbel to 6lb from the croy and 16 chub to 4lb in two hours before dusk from faster water in one of the new swims below. Chub on sweetcorn and barbel on pellet.

Difficult day, river very low with a green algal tinge. Very bright and hot day which didn't help. Managed to have a barbel and 5 chub between 2 rods, all to feeder and pellet tactics. Be prepared for a good walk and be careful of hidden holes along the bank.

A beautiful sunny day with the river running ever lower and clearer. Unfortunately, a stiff downstream breeze made float fishing very difficult so the feeder was the only real option. Another lovely day out in wonderful surroundings and enough fish to top it off.

First time fishing the Wye and we had a great day. Not many accessible pegs so started the day on the first beach swim and not much action for the first couple of hours. Decided to try next beach section (pebble) and had a barbel first cast. We continued to catch regularly throughout the day on cage feeder and pellets. Ended up with 10 barbel and 8 chub and also lost a few, will be back.

10 Barbel, 8 Chub

Good mornings fishing managing 7 barbel to just over 8lb. Fished the stretch below the woods amongst the weeds for a change and surprised myself with the fish I had. It seemed devoid of life so just goes to show.

I had a good afternoon & evening at wooded end of fishery
with 6 barbel ( best 10.2lbs) & 5 chub (best 5.4lbs), all on pellet and groundbait feeder. George fished first swim in Legg
Meadow for 2 barbel and 5 chub. Must thank Don for his help & advice.

Struggled in the morning as it was a boiling hot day but had 3 nice barbel late afternoon fishing from the croy near the noisy water pump. A few salmon hanging about in that pool too. Lovely beat, will explore more of it next time.

A dificult day in hot sunny conditions. We struggled during the day with only one barbel caught. However sport improved from 7pm onwards, although eels were active when fishing meat. It is always a pleasure just to be here regardless of the sport and I was pleased to see the new swims cut out. We look forward to trying these in future.
