Lovely stretch of river in an incredible setting.

Hard work to find the fish but once I did I caught consistently.

Constant trickle of feed seemed to work well.

Access to river was excellent with parking behind your swims.

Bad access, couldn't get down to most the swims, nice scenery though, caught 27 barbel upto 7lb, and an eel as long as me!

Very nice beat with good access. The water was very low when we fished but the chub were feeding and easy to catch, although average weight was less than a pound. Two barbel caught late afternoon on sweetcorn. other fish were 4 dace, one perch and an eel.
We had a bizarre incident during the day. One of our group reeled in his rod to help another of the group land a barbel, leaving it on the bank with the bait(artificial corn) still on the hook. When he returned after 10 minutes the rod had vanished. Unless it had been stolen by a group of passing kayakers, which seems unlikely, we can only surmise that the bait had been taken by a swan which had then dragged the rod into the water before breaking free. Moral of the story is I guess, never leave a rod unattended even if the bait is not in the water!

Fished well early morning, chub and barbel falling to meat and pellets. Dead during the afternoon. Picked up during the evening again.

Excellent day by the Wye. Fished from the “beach” using meat and boilies.
Access very difficult for older fishermen
