River up and flooded and not many swims fishable but an enjoyable day nonetheless with 3 large barbel - biggest weighing 11lb 4oz. Plenty of chub around too. All on meat and halibut pellet.

Overcast and cold with showers. Big temperature drop from yesterday. River coloured with levels steadily dropping. Ledgered pellet and boilies. Caught throughout the day in the fields downstream of the woods. All chub approximately between 2lb-4lb.

River was up 2m with very strong flow which made fishing difficult . Only fished the afternoon but mamanaged to find the swims holding a few fish in the end . Large baits did the trick in the end.

Think again if you intend to fish here. Unless you like a long walk uphill some of the way then the only options are upstream and on the day we could only find 2 swims which were both too dangerous in the high water conditions. We were not prepared to take the risk and so went elsewhere but of course no refund or transfer of costs from the Wye and Usk

Intended to fish the Lucky Stones but water levels made that a bit treacherous and after losing 2 lots of feeder tackle in the rocks I moved down to a comfy grass peg below the wood. In the lashing rain I had 14 chub, all to feeder and boilie.

first visit to this stretch...plenty of flood water pushing through, but found some slack water in a swim in the woods. two decent barbel 7 1/2 and 9 1/2 - both on feeder/corn...only fished for 1/2 a day (wedding anniversary takes priority apparently).
Not sure what all the fuss is about the walk - although i did have the good lady to carry a few things for me - oh and not convinced she believed that 27th anniversary is luncheon meat...but i bought her a tin anyway

River conditions looked perfect chocolate colour and slowly rising (2ft in 6hrs) but results were disappointing. Fished the furthest upstream peg and was pleased to find a backwater
eddy on the near bank, I fished the crease just beyond the eddy 3 rods out. Fished feeder and lead with pellet, boillie and garlic meat and the smelly meat proved best. Very heavy rain and called it a day after 6 hrs.
