Fishing on the Wye tomorrow (Friday 27th) any thoughts on water levels?

[Duebel]

Of course, I can't be of any help regarding the Wye. Nevertheless I wish you all the best of luck, Phil! Go and catch a roach!

And breathe...

That swim looks as though it’ll be stuffed with roach.... it’ll be one a chuck...and in the pub by 4pm....perfect!

And breathe...

Oooh that looks nice.... that slack on the inside looks a banker for a fish or 12.... or the crease twixt the slack and the pacier bit.... I can hear my new Avon calling me from the garage

Nothing in there, unbelievably, despite a nice clean bottom (but you never know how the floods have moved fish about I guess).

Headed for a nice even paced three foot run and started with a few of these:



But the bait going in has attracted these now! Who remembers the charity floats?

That's more like it! Luvly chubly

[Aitch]

Very nice....

[Tengisgol]

There are a lot of fantastic reaches on the Wye, and many where you can catch more fish I expect, but none have the atmosphere and varied water of the Moccas Fishery, in my humble opinion.

What a lovely day.

Super stuff! That's a beat for my list of 'should visits'

The river is perfect. Height 1.5m and falling, colour 4/10 on the Heinz Tomato soup scale, temperature 7.4 deg C, as it was yesterday.
So I changed swims and changed baits. After 14 perch averaging one and a half pounds yesterday, today resulted in 16 roach with the best three weighing about 1lb 12 ounces. Half the other fish did not need the landing net. Ive had some three dozen two pound roach from the Wye these last 40 years, so I don’t weigh fish that I don’t think will be ‘twos’.
I hope that you had a good day Tengisgol.
