1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Arrived early, nice and easy to access in general however, the bank at the lower end is treacherous to say the least. No reflection on anyone just nature eroding the bank and wet slippy mud.
1st cast lost a chub, I know this as he left me a calling card from our very brief encounter. 2nd cast lost a barbel at the net as the hook link gave out. Picked up a nice chub about 11am and then quite until 4pm when I got another chub. 2 barbel in quick succession at 5pm, hit a third which I can only assume was a barbel but obviously no-one had told it I was a paying customer as it took me straight into a snag. That was the end of that, I considered re-tackling but I figured it was a sign!

Great day and a lovely beat.

A good day on this lovely beat. The first few fish were taken on a heavy pink tagged nymph but on seeing fish rising in the afternoon I switched to dries. These moved several fish but I failed to connect so I scaled down to a size 18 Griffith's Gnat and was then able to take a few more. Some of the fish were a good size so all in all a very satisfying day.

Beautiful Location! Fishing was a little slow although we didn’t arrive until late morning. River could maybe do with a little more water but caught a stunning 8lb barbel about 3pm which really made the day! Will definitely be back soon!

We caught 14 Barbel to 8lb 9oz & 52 decent Chub with 5 fish over 5lb with the remainder between 3lb & 4lb. This should be our last day on the Wye this year (might come back next month), thanks again WUF for arranging access to the fisheries.

After the heartbreak of losing 3 barbel on last year's trip I couldn't believe my luck when I caught a barbel weighing in at 9lb 6oz. Special thanks goes to my fishing mate Arran who gave up his swim to make this capture possible. It took me several hours to stop shaking with excitement! The barbel and the chub were all caught on boiling again, thanks to Arran for supplying me with bait screws and rig advice.
