GREAT DAYS FISHING FOR 3 RODS. R - 7 BARBEL, 8 CHUB. G - 5 BARBEL, 2 CHUB. R - 3 BARBEL. ALL CAUGHT ON PELLET FEEDER. MUST THANK DON FOR PUTTING US ON THE RIGHT SWIMS IN AFTERNOON [BEST BARBEL 9lb15oz, CHUB 5lb13oz] WILL FISH AGAIN AS SOON AS POSS.

Arrived to find river pushing through hard approx 4ft up and coloured with no slack water. I fished the only fishable swim on left bank, caught 2 barbel approx 8 lbs. Friend Mike fished accessible swim on right bank, caught 2 chub approx 4 lbs and lost 1 larger at the net. Beat access good, steps in bank make access to swims (when river at normal level) good. Another enjoyable day.

Nyth total now 30. Saturday one at 7lb. This morning caught 3: 10, 12, 16lb and 2 lost, all on fly to one rod!

15lb fish on red/gold Flying 'C', single hook for easy release.

After losing a fish back in May I've not made it back to the bank with the river in good order, most of the good sport falling midweek which I could not make the most of. So it was great to be back on the rectory in good conditions (Many thanks again). It was snowing last time I fished here! I started early as i knew there was rain on the way which could spoil things for me. At about 1030 I made the most of this opportunity and had a 15lb fresh hen from the top of Rock Pool my first landed on the fly. Fished on untill the river started to come back up again and went home very wet and very happy. Thanks to WUF for making this possible.

One fish of 8 oz caught on a size 18 olive Klinkhammer, no fish were taken. Wind gusts killed off a sporadic rise in the evening.

6 trout, all under 1.5 pounds, all on worm.

Another lovely stretch of the Wye, hardly a soul seen all day and not too many canoes. 7 Barbel between 5lbs & 6lbs 8oz all caught on pellet/feeder tactics. The only downside was one of our party had their car broken in to in the fishery layby, future anglers bare this in mind!

16 Barbel and loads of chub caught between our 2 rods, river up and coloured and most fish caught on meat.

Overnight rain meant that the river was slightly rising at around 5ft. Arrived a little later than yesterday, and with another angler fishing upstream of the hut, we decided to go back to yesterdays first port of call in the trees before the bridge. We started fishing around 10.30am, with baits back on the same spots as yesterday it wasnt long till we were into the first barbel. and they carried on coming all day! We started packing up at around 7.30pm, having caught 23 barbel with two lost to just under 8lbs. A fantastic days fishing. Thank you Wye and Usk! All fish caught on pellets, paste and boilie again.
