Difficult conditions on a rising river. Fished only the morning due to torrential rain in the afternoon. 5 chub taken on float tactics to pellet.

No fish. No bites. We are sure a discharge from a farm didn’t help the days fishing. Reported and did get a refund from the fishery manager which much appreciated.

Plenty of bites and fish showing along whole stretch. Chub mainly upstream, Barbel more downstream. Catching on feeder and a variety of baits.

River still high making it awkward. Fished 2 swims on the lower end into quieter water. 3 chub, no barbel

The river was dropping after a 3.5m high making the fishing quite difficult. This was compounded by the lack of access to the waters edge with only a few spots being fishable. There were no swims cut out or any access to the waters edge on well over half of the fishery, despite there being a number of good looking spots that were simply inaccessible. We reserved the stretch exclusively between three anglers which was expensive for the limited fishing on offer. It may have been better in lower water conditions when a large beach section would seemingly be exposed.

3 anglers fished, 1 barbel at 5lbs to corn, all chub to meat plus one 2lb eel to meat. Weather drizzly for best part of day, not much action. Because this stretch is not maintained / lack of available bank swims we were restricted to try different areas.

3 anglers actually fishing, Low water levels on arrival but rising a couple of inches over the day from previous rains. Disappointed to find half the beat has no bank swim access to fish. Our first visit to the Wye for thee days.
