We came in search of the Wye Barbel but the conditions were warm and the river fairly low. Regardless, we had that great faith that all anglers have, which keeps you coming back for more ! Unfortunately we didn't get the catch we wanted, but what a lovely place in the height of summer to spend your time with family and friends. Lots went into the planning; with plenty of laying down bait & tactics/kit in many swims (hemp, garlic hemp, pellet, halibut mix, garlic hemp, spicy krill, paprika luncheon meat and luncheon meat; all in different mixes). Used cage, longer and shorter hook lengths, PVA bags, . The easiest pegs to get too are the ones nearer to the farm but go all the way round past the Weir (roughly about 6-8 good pegs for fishing). It is a great venue, we just weren't good enough on the day! We'll be back !

We had 5 Barbel to 8.75lb and 12 chub to 5lb and an eel. We fished in the weir pool section which has a flat stoney beach type area of about 40m wide. The weather was warm and sunny with little wind and river had moderate to slow flow. The fish mostly came from the far left upstream section about 10 feet out towards the far wall. Took everything on a hair rigged 12mm halibut pellet with a 3oz open ended feeder. If you have a 4x4 you can drive right up to this section of the river otherwise its a fair walk. If we return to the Wye will would 100% go back to this beat.

Only fished the Morning as conditions were difficult, being hot and sunny. Bites very hard to come by even though river had fined down beautifully after heavy rain earlier in week. Fish taken on meat and pellets.

A beautiful stretch of water. Only 2 of us made it but good access for 4x4 Very hot and water low, fished better early and late when the sun was off the water and meat proved best bait. First time on this section, we will be back. Far bank very busy with sightseers.

I’ve always wanted to fish this beat but never got round to it , finally here !
Great access to the river and parking , probably one of the most picturesque venues on the river wye .
Fished from 2pm till 10 with bites becoming more frequent into the evening as you’d expect , an absolute joy fishing here can’t wait to come back .
Thanks WUF for making places like this available to us anglers

A lovely day on a very coloured and fast flowing wye.the fishing was hard as we only float fish.but both of us caught a barbel and a few Chubb on pellet. Thank you to the landowner for strimming several swims giving us a reasonable choice for a wye and usk
