Caught 1 barbel of 7lb 7oz. mid morning. Halibut pellet and feeder. There was a lot of pike activity in the swim most of the day. Two chub came late on as the light was fading. The largest about 3 1/2 lb. Wonderful wildlife. Kingfishers, Goosander, Bats, Salmon leaping. Even a hornet in mid October. Enjoyed it.

Another lovely stretch of the river and a really good beat. We only managed 5 Barbel today, all from the far bank and one was a PB at 10lb 6oz. Just for a change, I started the day off trotting sweetcorn and had loads of Dace, although I only submitted 25. It was a really nice way to spend the morning and I was holding out for a chub on light gear, but then a Pike parked itself in my swim!

An enjoyable days fishing, conditions were overcast with sunny spells...feeder fished pellet took majority of bites with float fished corn taking a few chub...will be back next year to try again.

Other species caught were dace and bleak. River was slightly up and a good colour. Methods used were stick floats and feeders. The number of swims available for coarse anglers is very limited and the access to some if not all is precarious to say the least. We feel strongly that to ensure the safety of anglers some improvements to swims and access need to be made.

WUF Note : The Wye is wild fishing, much of which in the Passport is left in a mostly natural state. Also, the banks are SSSI and there are therefore limits legally on what can be done. Some fisheries have better access than others so if you plan a return visit and need advice on venues which have regular maintenance and less challenging access, then please call us. We are always happy to suggest places to suit specific requirements.

Rather bright sunny day, river was quite low but coloured. Tough day. 3 barbel to 8lb 8ozs (disappointingly lost 2), 3 chub to 5lbs 9ozs all on standard feeder tactics. All fish in lovely condition. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.
