Not our day - complete blank ! This is a lovely stretch that could do with some more swims opening.We were pained by a group of school children and their master deciding to play games not ten yards from our swim ! Other canoeists ok.

Banks inaccessible for advertised "swan pool"

Beautiful place, canoe traffic atrocious.

A frustrating day. Despite the talk of cut out swims etc access to the river was very difficult and it took 2 hrs to find a way down to the water. Once fishing it was slow due to the hot sunny weather. The day was somewhat ruined by the landowner cutting down trees and chucking them in the river just upstream of our spots. I had to abandon fishing the swim I had been baiting all day as a constant deluge of branches and logs at dusk made fishing impossible. Given anglers have much better access on the far bank, don't feel we got value for money.

A beautiful hot sunny day in the Wye valley didn't bode well for a busy days fishing Fished a couple of swims that had produced well on the last trip but struggled for any bites. One 3lb barbel and one chub (5-8!) landed. Moved swims mid afternoon and were rewarded immediately with some rod wrenching bites from both mid river and the near bank. Hectic couple of hours provided 10 barbel up to 9-4 and 9 more chub! Fish fed constantly from 16:30-19:30. Pellet and boilie doing the trick!

Five barbel and one eel fishing the feeder down the near side crease unable to fish far side due to amount of canoes many of which were drunk and all over the river shouting screaming swearing and jumping in with no respect for other river users.

Ledger fished pellet over a bed of groundbait produced 2 barbel of 7lb 2oz and 6lb in difficult conditions. Blazing sunshine and boat traffic made it far from ideal but lovely stretch, easy parking close to the waters edge.
