Feedback & Reports

fished on my own from the woods,. lovely beat but 'very hot and very low',. no fish,. LOTS of boat traffic.. would go back but probably out of canoe season

River conditions not ideal, but great beat with interesting swims. Just one eel caught. Thunderstorm and torrential rain put paid to the evening session.

Fished shaded swims in the woods for a few hours on a very hot day. Hard going with few bites. No fish landed although a couple were lost.

Another wonderful day on the Wye. Started fishing at around 6am but wasn’t expecting much as the river was very low and the temperature was very hot. We fished the first crib and after getting some feed going the swim started to show signs of fish. Had 2 nice barbel and 3 chub by 10 o’clock and things started to go quiet as the temperature crept up, so at midday we decided to pack down & go to the pub for some lunch & get ready for the England game.
We returned around 6.30pm and this time decided to fish the Thomas Wood crib, where we had 4 more barbel & 2 more chub between us on the run up to dusk and into dark, followed by two rather large eels, which was our cue to call it a day. Beautiful venue & great access. Will be back again!

A very nice location, river low, a bright sunny day. Due to recent conditions I did not expect to catch any Barbel and did not, caught 3 eels instead, still a lovely day on the River

Conditions against us, boiling hot, river very low and clear. We fished too end of beat, in the woods, two other anglers fished lower down river, at the start of the woods, they also blanked, no bites whatsoever. The guide who looks after this beat is very helpful and lots of advice. Will go back when we have had some rain or gets cooler, great stretch of river and some good pegs, easy access to bankside, a good walk through woods to top end

four anglers on the water all blanked apart from some eels.
Very difficulty place to find and if it wasn't for a very helpful river keeper would have still been looking!
a lot of the stretch is unfishable due to high banks with few only a few swims cut out.
Quite a lot of slowish water probably better in the winter with a lot more water
