Lovely day on Wye. Very good fishing, but from 1 pm weather changed, pressure went up, strong wind started to blow. Fish refused to feed, and we were struggling to get a bite. We managed just few barbel and chub on evening.

11 Barbel, 12 Chub

Lovely beat although you are only able to fish two of the three fields on the beat. For the fee paid I would have liked the option to fish in the first field.

Another hard day, river badly needs a bit of fresh water. 1 barbel and 2 chub caught on the float (great fun). A further 2 chub caught on the feeder.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

4 on 1 rod and 7 on the other. All caught on Halibuts.

First visit to this beat, lovely setting. River low and clear. Both fished top end swims in morning with only a few chub to show. 1 small barbel from faster water by island then nothing. Moved again and had 6 big barbel and several chub in a couple of hours. Biggest barbel a nice double at 10lb 3oz, smallest around 7lb. Chub to around 4lb. Fish caught on pellet and boilie.

Late afternoon/evening session. We split up and fished different areas. Plenty of swims to try on this beat. Most fish caught on pellet and were fighting fit.
The buzzard and heron had a bit of a do over perching rights and the kingfisher kept brightening up proceedings. The mandarin ducks are so tame, you can have them feeding out of your hands. Great beat and looking forward to coming back in September.

Quite a challenging day on a lovely stretch of the river. Despite moving swims a number of time we didn't have a bite until 7pm and then between 7pm & 9pm caught three barbel (biggest 6lb 14oz).

Arrived at the Creel, parked in the Church Yard and walked the beat, very disappointed that the caravan site has taken over the last field and lots of people fishing the river.
Not like last year and decided to fish elsewhere for the 2 days we were booked on the Creel. I understand the farmer wants to make money of course but being selfish it has put a damper on this beat now.

First time on this beat in the summer, so a bit of a learning curve. Fished a morning session and an evening session. It took a while to locate some feeding fish, several decent looking swims didn't produce a bite before I fished an average looking swim in the second field and was into fish quickly. Probably should have done better, lost a couple of Barbel to inexplicable hook pulls, but never mind. Not as many canoes as I expected!

Fishing poor again! Plenty of canoes though and boats with motors on? We don't mind the canoes if there quiet when passing, but when you're paying £22 a ticket to have people jumping in off boats and swimming through your swims its a bit of a joke to be fair!
