Perfect conditions fish still hard to locate.

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

Started the fishing in a frosty morning, temperature was -4. Tried to catch pike with lures, the conditions weren't so ideal for that. Sunny day and crystal clear water, not the best. Fished from 8.30 am till 4.30 pm, tried many kind of lures but couldn't get a bite. The only action happened in the morning, a massive pike followed my lure twice, but unfortunately didn't attack it. Independently from the fishless day, I had a really great time on this stunning part of the Wye!

Cold hard day in truly stunning setting. Start temp was -5 and by 3pm rose to -1. Two chub and a lost barbel. Fish were hard to find

Only fished for 2 hours river cold and lifeless not a bite even the swans took to the fields!

Very peaceful beat. Targeted pike initially with lures, nothing happening! The river was coming through at quite a pace but still lots of good looking and accessible areas for the pike. Couple of big salmon spotted on the move and counted 60+ swans on the water at one time although they didn't cause any probs. Decided at 3pm to have an hour or so going for barbel or chub. First cast produced a screaming run, slide down the bank(not the first of the day) which resulted in a snapped rod and a lost fish. This was gonna be one of those days I thought!
With the last piece of luncheon meat I free lined it down the edge and straight away a bite and an immaculate chub of 3 lb saved the day....will be back

very cold frosty day, nothing caught.

This was our first visit to this stretch and we were impressed with the surroundings, as it runs beneath Goodrich Castle. It really is a beautiful section of the Wye, but sadly the fishing was difficult once again. We spent all day in 2 established swims about two thirds of the way down the beat. A very small Chub and a 4lb Barbel were the only 2 bites all day. We'll be back again next year though.........can't wait!

Arrived to a perfect river, 10 deg and 2 foot on and dropping.
Fished 3 different swims and had fish out of all of them. Had 3 good Barbel, one going 9lb all on maggots. Plus 5 good chub plus a few chublets. Lost 2 Barbel on bedrock. Wonderful day, the big barbel came at 4pm just as the light was going.

Hard fishing in a beautiful setting. The fishing was tough due to recent rain fall which brought lots of debris down river. We managed to find the fish after lots of searching. We will be back.
