Lovely stretch of the wye and the fishing was very good , fished usual method of feeder and bookies/pellets. Average size of the barbel was 6 to 8 lbs. Access to the swims we fished was pretty treacherous and could do with so steps dug to make safer. Could do with a few more swims in the lower downstream section and be aware of anglers do fish the opposite bank. Overall a very enjoyable session and we were pleased with our results.
WUF Note : The Wye is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC). There are therefore strict controls on what can be done to fisheries with steep banks. Difficulty in access can also be exaggerated (not only when the banks are wet but also) during exceptionally dry periods.

Fished all day. 2 eels, a chub and lost a good barbel early on. Frustrating day but beautiful place to fish.

Not our day - complete blank ! This is a lovely stretch that could do with some more swims opening.We were pained by a group of school children and their master deciding to play games not ten yards from our swim ! Other canoeists ok.

Banks inaccessible for advertised "swan pool"

Beautiful place, canoe traffic atrocious.

A frustrating day. Despite the talk of cut out swims etc access to the river was very difficult and it took 2 hrs to find a way down to the water. Once fishing it was slow due to the hot sunny weather. The day was somewhat ruined by the landowner cutting down trees and chucking them in the river just upstream of our spots. I had to abandon fishing the swim I had been baiting all day as a constant deluge of branches and logs at dusk made fishing impossible. Given anglers have much better access on the far bank, don't feel we got value for money.

A beautiful hot sunny day in the Wye valley didn't bode well for a busy days fishing Fished a couple of swims that had produced well on the last trip but struggled for any bites. One 3lb barbel and one chub (5-8!) landed. Moved swims mid afternoon and were rewarded immediately with some rod wrenching bites from both mid river and the near bank. Hectic couple of hours provided 10 barbel up to 9-4 and 9 more chub! Fish fed constantly from 16:30-19:30. Pellet and boilie doing the trick!
