First of all the track down to the fishery is managable if its dry. I wouldn't try if its wet. Once on the fishery i was very dissapointed in the lack of swims to go at. It has been neglected, the vast majoraty of swims were overgrown, inaccesable and unfishable. I fished the fast water swim and it looked a great piece of water which on its day must produce a load of fish, unfortunatley not today. If that swim is unavailable you will struggle . It could be a very nice beat but desperately needs a lot of maintainance/ preperaition of existing swims . Currentley it is not worth the cost ot the ticket and i will not be returning to this beat.

Fishing Passport Note : The track down is manageable to most vehicles, even in fairly wet conditions. Low (and high) river levels will usually depict different parts of the fishery that will be inaccessible. That is typical on most Wye beats. It’s left in as natural state as possible being a SSSI / SAC river.

Met Adam mid morning as we arrived who was very helpful. River was a bit low and in need of some rain. I had a 3lb chub on a boilie in my first swim , moved later on to a swim with more flow and had some more chub to 4lb , rang the changes with hook baits . Unfortunately my son blanked but he still enjoyed himself and he liked the look of the fishery and wants to return in the autumn.

Weather overcast and rather muggy. Some early rainfall. Occasional strong breeze, but generally light S Westerly all day. Levels continuing to drop slightly and clearing in terms of colour. Generally. conditions were very good and promised a great deal. Bankside access not particularly easy, but then, it is early season. Would recommend spike and rope to assist.
Arrived at 6.30 am, and one peg automatically began producing. Simple ledger and pellet, put two good sized Barbel {8.5 and 7+} on bank in 20 minutes. 0ver the course of the next two hours, two further Barbel were added, of similar stamp. and one good fish missed through thrown hook. A great morning's angling. Other pegs produced little. A few taps. but no big takes.
In the afternoon, the one peg continued to regularly deliver, with two double figure Barbel being banked, and the Chub (all between 1,5 and 4.5 ) starting to feature. Other methods (stick float and touch ledgering were tried) and all proved successful. A great day's sport in all. but you really had to be on the correct stretch,. Look for slightly pacier water.
All fish caught were in superb condition and really fought well. Whatever method you employ, you need to ensure good 12lb mainline is being used.
Nice to finally meet Adam, who was friendly. helpful and informative. Sorry about the parking mix-up! It won't happen again.
