Got to the river first thing and had two chub first two casts. Then the sun came out and bites tailed off, became very hot and difficult but managed a small barbel at midday then another chub and a barbel weighing roughly 6lb about 6 o'clock plus an eel. Lovely beat.

Another great session on this beat. Pellet feeder tactics doing the damage again.

20 Barbel, 8 Chub

Wonderful stretch with good access and views are excellent. Fishing was tough as the river was low and clear. Fished in the fast section in front of island and deeper runs either side of island with pellets/meat on feeder and rolling meat but only two barbel caught by my colleague, biggest went 9.4lbs. Salmon jumping all day. Would love to fish this section with a couple of more feet on the river and slight colour. However, still a wonderful experience thanks WU.

A Blazing hot sunny day, not really ideal conditions for barbel fishing, relatively clear river and a beautiful setting but, only finding 4 fishable swims with safe access was slightly disapointing.
We fished from 8am until 4pm and only had a handful of bites each, catching only 4 chub between us. Would have been better with more swims to choose from, I would only recommend this beat to young, fit anglers who don't mind clambering down very steep banks to fish.

My favourite beat with wonderful views. Lots of salmon jumping and barbel spawning.

Only fished 1 swim on beat as we had Foy and Creel on the same day.

A beautiful day (for sunbathing..). River, whilst a bit low, had some colour. Used my tried and trusted pellet and feeder tactics and had 8 chub out but no barbel showing. Quite a few salmon splashing out. This stretch is a good test of technique and river craft and the barbel are not easy to find but it is a stunningly beautiful place to fish.

We arrived after a 21/2 hour drive in pouring rain and slid our way to the river, first chuck 1 barbel of about 4 1/2 lbs, next chuck barbel of 8.04, six hours later with 2 chub to show for several moves and a proper soaking we headed back towards the swims by the lane up to the car park, the rain stopped, we cast out and caught every cast for the remainder of the session finishing with 8 barbel and 7 chub. This beat is lovely, the banks are somewhat difficult although the walk to them is lovely and the peace and quiet and scenery are some of the best on the river. We had a great day and will be returning next season, thank you Wye and Usk

No fish caught, a bit bright and cold.
