River was pacey with a tinge of colour. A few decent pegs to choose from and was surprised to find the fishing was quite slow. Pellets the best bait and the best barbel was 8lb 9oz.

Nice day on the river, fining down through the day. Barbel to 8.12 and chub to 5.6 on meat and dumbell boilies. First time fishing this beat, would book again, nice variety of swims to fish.

Fished later on in the day for a couple of hours, I lost a Barbel on the first cast after feeding the swim for an hour, not a knock until I was packing up and the rod went off. Back next year to home farm, it's a wonderful place to wet line lots of great memories for me as well as some stunning fish and wildlife.

The river looked perfect but the fish were not feeding, only one bite all day but that did result in a lovely barbel of just over 9 lbs.

It made life a lot easier being able get the van down to the river, two Barbel on SG1 14mm Bollies wrapped in matching paste with a PVA bag of SG1 pellets.

The river looked in really good condition but the fishing wasn't easy.

Overcast with a touch of mist. 10 degree air temperature, 11.7 degree water temperature, river down to 1.7m with some colour. All sounds pretty good, doesn't it. Unfortunately our fishy friends didn't think so. We fished 6 swims between the 3 of us, all looking very barbelly in the conditions but it was a struggle. All 4 barbel (biggest 7lb from the bottom end, making the walk worthwhile) ) came in the afternoon. Every hookbait in the bag tried but it was a bit of a frustrating day given how good it looked. Still a day on the Wye....

Arrived to find river had burst its banks just above the bottom carpark, just enough swims for 2 Anglers to fish for a few hours until water came up further & we made a tactical retreat, we did manage to catch 2 Barbel one of which was a Wye PB of 12lb 2oz.

River level 4m on arrival & continued to rise to 4.4m during the day. Roving the slacks from top to bottom of fishery with pellet & big paste wraps on straight lead. Barbel to 9lb +.
