Overcast all day but no rain. River slightly high. Caught from several different swims on feeder and pellet.

With the river up over a metre, the barbel proved to be a little elusive although chub knocked away at our pellet baits and occasionally attached themselves to the hook. We were restricted to the top end of the beat and had the frustration of a lot of weed coming down.

Another fantastic day on a beautiful beat that is well kept by the legend Colin.
We went to our usual swim in the hope that the river level didn't mean that it was pushing through too much. On first glance we thought we were going to have to rethink our game plan as the river was pushing through but we decided to give it an hour and see what happened.
First cast with a 2oz lead saw it bounce straight round into the nearest snag it could find whereas 3oz seemed to hold just fine. We then started to pick off barbel and chub regularly throughout the day.
A brilliant day made even better when Colin came to see us and have a good natter. Lots of kingfisher action with one sat on a tree opposite in full sun for at least 20mins.

This beat is incredible, after no action the previous day further up river today was the complete opposite. I decided to fish purely for chub and wasn't disappointed with so many fish caught that I lost count. Feeding pellets for 40 mins before casting a speci waggler across it was fast and furious action with 3 fish over 5lbs and probably 12 over 4lb. Thanks to Colin for looking after the beat and all at WUF.

A very enjoyable 2 days on the river Wye on a very nice beat that is well looked after by Colin who came down to see us a very nice and helpful guy. We did well to catch 44 fish over 2 days considering it was pouring heavy rain most of the day on the Sunday and blue sky brilliant sunshine and very hot on the Monday, can't wait for our next visit.

Another very nice days fishing on the Wye, river was well up compared to the last few trips we've had, there was a lot of weed coming through but fishable. All fish fell to feeder tactics, and all fish were in very good condition. Was nice to meet Colin who showed his expertise with catching a nice salmon on his 2nd cast!!!!! .... A good day!!!!

To me this is the best stretch I have ever been to! Colin Richards who looks after and maintains the beat, deserves a gold medal. Fished with my fishing buddy Barry and had a smashing day.
Thanks, Tony

I started on the far end of the fishery and unusually only caught 2 chub. It was difficult to cast to the barbel pool due to overhanging willows. I moved to the opposite end and managed to catch 2 barbel and 10 chub. GW caught 2 barbel and 2 chub mid beat. All fish fell to pellet feeder.

River very low and clear and weather very hot. We fished from 9.00am until 7.00pm patchy throughout the day, fed for an hour or so then went dead for a period, then came back on again for an hour or two. Altogether a good day at a lovely venue, but a very long walk. Thanks to WUF.

Conditions very difficult as river very low and clear. Caught regularly and any bait seemed to work. Fished bottom end and last swim seemed very snaggy. Good day on a lovely fishery.
