4 Barbel, 5 Chub

River coming down fast, still with loads of colour. 1 nice chub, 1 Barbel around 5/6 lbs. Used Spam for bait about halfway up the first meadow. It should be mentioned that the hill getting back out will take no prisoners, worth remembering if you're as old and unfit as me !!

River was at 2.2m all day and bombing through. The pegs at the top end were not fishable but the first 2 fields still had plenty of pegs. We rotated the pegs and caught decent chub throughout the day, not sure why we didn’t get any barbel as it looked good for them.

Very challenging conditions with the river at 4.2m. We decided to give it a go, so descended the steep hill and luckily found a few slacks. It was hard going but three barbel was a decent return considering the river was almost unfishable.

Fishing a rising river with good "muddy" colour. Fished the creases in the first meadow. Fish to feeder & pellet & meat feeder.

Lovely looking stretch in great surroundings. Shame the fish were hard to come by. Due to heavy rain we were unable to move around as much as we would like to.

The hill at the start and long walk is very hard. Fortunately we were both fit and able otherwise this would be impossible to access.

Fishing passport should be more transparent with this in the description.

River was up a bit but dropping throughout the day. Cold start with frost on the ground and lovely misty valley. Fishing was best in the morning with bites harder to come by in the pm. Fished 14 swims and caught from 9. Great stretch for exploring. Seemed like more swims had been opened up since last visit. Only gripe is the footbridge over the ditch. Reminded me of the crypton factor. Best barbel was 8lb 12oz and chub 4lb 8oz, mostly on straight lead and 16mm krill dumbells. Great autumn days fishing on the Wye.

Fantastic days fishing with the general stamp of chub around the 4lb bracket. One Barbel coming out at 8lb 12oz. Looked like a much bigger fish! Will definitely be back as a lovely stretch of the Wye.
