Could not get a bite on pellets changed to meat that did the job. Good to be back on the Wye thanks WUF.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Excellent day, 17 chub, best 6lb 4oz, at least 8 fish were around 6lb. Pellet and luncheon meat. Sadly no Barbel for me today..
Nice touch by the land owners to visit for a chat and make us welcome. Can't wait for our next visit to the Wye..

17 Chub

The river was up an estimated four feet and pushing through. We fished mainly pellet and had one Barbel and seven Chub. It was a great day and we love this beat. The scenery is superb and it is a privilege to fish this beat on opening day (two years running). The owner came down to say hello and for once we did not see a single canoe! Can't wait to get back. Thank you Wye and Usk.

Did not fish, river rising rapidly.

low overnight temperatures did not fill us with much confidence, but the river was in good condition and falling, we lost two barbel to hook pulls and took the chub flavoured meat.

Fished various swims, trying different methods and baits but a very quiet day with no fish caught.

With the river rising, gale force winds from the north west and the temperature dropping 5 degrees since the day before it meant that conditions were not best. 2 Otters playing in the river didn't help either.

Hardstanding parking was great and 4x4 access to halfway down the stretch looked good to; for those who dont have it the walk is flat but travel light as its a good walk!

The pegs/swims from the weir garden down to the end of the stretch had reasonable access (for the wye) although some of the overhanging trees at the weir garden needed tending to so that anglers can fish in winter (I guess in summer it would be ok). The access to the fast shallow run above the weir garden (for Grayling and Trout) was poor needing over grown brambles cutting back. The access to the deeper water at the top of the section was non existent; totally overgrown. All of this work would take very little effort from the fishery owner; a couple of days work at most - for the money charged customers should get a better experience!

On the right day the fishing here I believe would be exception however we only managed 5 minnows and 1 small pike.

1 Pike, 5 Other
