A beautiful beat with good access. Top of the beat chocked with weed. We caught steadily over the day on pellet/feeder and meat tactics. A total of 13 barbel to 7 1/2 lb and chub to 3 1/2 lb. We will be back to explore this stretch further. Thanks W&U.

Spectacular day on the Wye! Started fishing around 7am with the first barbel falling to pellet and groundbait within minutes. Despite sunny conditions with a downpour at lunchtime, followed by yet more sun the barbel stayed in the swim and seemed to find our pellets and sweetcorn irresistible. Simultaneous takes on both our rods occurred on two occasions.
After a break for a well deserved lunch we returned to the swim at 3pm when a PB barbel of 11lb was landed! Over 150lbs bagged on the day! Total of 20 barbel. Oh, and 6 chub... What an incredible day. Thank you WUF! We will be back!

Great days fishing despite bright conditions. All fish caught using feeder with hemp and pellets. Barbel to 7lb and chub to 4lb. Was more productive as the sun dropped about 7pm. We fished from about 1pm to 10 pm.

Phew! Long walk with too much gear put us on the banks of the Wye again. Great day in beautiful surroundings, barbel hard to come by the three we had obviously spawned recently, chub were keen to bite even had three on floating bread crust. Pellet and feeder took all others, river low and clear. Many thanks WUF.

Fished opposite the weir garden on a warm hot sunny day, fished from 9am and caught 1 chub between 9am and 6pm (this was with the warm hot conditions). But from 6pm until 8pm, the fishing improved as the heat dropped which meant the fish were feeding and managed to catch 4 chub with the biggest weighing 4lb and 2 barbel of which the biggest weighed 8lb. On the last catch I managed to catch a 6lb pike on a halibut pellet which I was very surprised about. Fished feeder tactics throughout the day. Lovely stretch of river. will be definitely returning in the near future.

Wasn't very optimistic, low clear water high temperatures, not a cloud in the sky. Non-stop action all day, apart from following some canoeists who had a ghetto blaster at full volume and a large school party in canoes some of whom decided to come ashore. I thought that was it for an hour or so, but that definitely was not the case. Great day thanks WUF.

Hard going on Lower Canon Bridge Saturday. River low and clear. Made fish spotting much easier, but only saw a few fish in the new weir area. Had one chub up until 12noon, which wasn't great as I started at 4am. Went back to the river at 5pm and spotted a few chub moving. Ended up with 1 barbel 5.5lb and 9 chub to 4lb. This is a very picturesque beat and the upper section was completely carpeted with flowering water crowfoot, stunning. Spoke to the farmer he was very helpful as to beat accses.
