Tough day in what seemed like ideal conditions with fairly coloured water, which was slowly dropping. Fished the top end, with only 1 barbel to show for our efforts.

4 barbel to 7lb and one chub 4lb+ all on pellet and feeder tactics. Meat produced only eels. River running high but dropping.

River well up and coloured made swim selection difficult, not helped by thick weed in many areas. Fished the lower section - whoever named cardiac hill wasn't joking ! Barbel fell to ledgered meat, mainly during the middle of the day. Average size 5 to 7 lbs. Beautiful stretch of river but maybe not at its best in blustery winds and squally showers.

River very coloured and had risen 3 feet overnight and continued to rise throughout the day, much debris coming down stream making presentation all but impossible. All barbel (5lb -7lb) came to flavoured meat very close in.

A steady day. Moved a couple of times to find a slightly more productive area.

As usual a great day to be beside the lovely Wye.

First time on this stretch, tough day! River at a good level, but the weed is dying off & it caused problems! Fishing any further than a rod length out and you was reeling in within 2 min, due to heavy weed. If we fished a rod length out, we might have got 5min if lucky. Once we realised this was our only option we caught a few fish. Beautiful scenery! The hill is a killer in the rain, but kinda adds to the adventure!

Never fished here before so I'd thought I'd give it a go , good parking and access to the river , and a beautiful stretch of the Wye , Didn't know where to start really so just spent a lot of time casting around , lots of weed pushing through the river at the moment , clogging up the rigs quite quickly , but this is quite common for this time of year , didn't catch many fish but was happy to have a few out in such a nice setting , I will be back for another session , lots to explore !
