Feedback & Reports

First time fishing the Wye and had a good day with 17 chub to both feeder and trotting tactics. 9 of the chub were 3lb plus with my best being 4.1lb. Probably didn't help the fishing, but really nice to see a family group of 3 otters swimming along the opposite bank for about 20-mins around midday.

Did not fish

Fished from 3pm to 5pm teaching my better half how to trot a float using a centrepin. Great beat for wading. All chub caught on meat.

3 anglers. Very good day. Biggest barbel 7lb. Biggest chub 3lb. Lots of action but a lot of small chub.

A fantastic beat with excellent access, it is a very quiet and secluded beat in stunning surroundings. The river was very low and clear so I expected the fishing to be difficult. I did manage to winkle out a few barbel up to around the 7lb mark and plenty of plump chub. All the fish came to standard feeder tactics. Can't wait to come back.

First time on this beat, absolutely beautiful spot but river very low, which is just nature's fault.
Somewhat surprised at the 4 picnic tables, would not be very happy if these tables were to be used by families as suggested in another post, especially should they have dogs and children throwing sticks/balls in the water for the dog to fetch.
Another serious problem in my view is the access due to a metal grate set in concrete, which has caused some considerable damage to my alloy wheels. Once again the problem could be easily solved by simply trimming the corner off the concrete base. Once again the landowners responsibility in my view, it would appear that they just take the money and couldn't care less.

Small beat but a great little spot to fish with the ability to drive right up to the bank. Initial swim as you look down has a steep incline but if you walk to the far left swim, easier access can be found with a more gradual slope to all swims. Would not be suitable/ideal though if you have mobility issues. Added bonus of picnic benches to utilise setting up.
