THE BAD NEWS IS AS OTHER ANGLERS HAVE REPORTED LACK OF SWIMS. THE CONCRETE APRON IS THE ONLY REAL SWIM BUT WE ENCOUNTED 2 OTHER ANGLERS ON THE OPP SIDE WHO HAD BEEN THERE ALL NIGHT AND DID NOT WANT US TO FISH OPPOSITE THEM ?????? ALSO THE COWS HAVE MADE THE ROAD IN AND OUT VERY SLIPPERY ,JUST MANAGED TO GET OUT. WILL CROSS THIS ONE OFF OUR LIST

River still high (covering large areas of shingle normally exposed during the summer) and coloured. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the bottom of the beat (below the croy). Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. First fish turned out to the largest of the day - 4lbs. Sadly no barbel.

No work had been done on the parking area by the river - all overgrown. No really suitable for regular cars (especially if wet), only 4x4s.

Had to fish below the pump, where have all the swims above? Everything has overgrown. Rather frustrating having to remove green slimey silkweed every time I wound in. Quite a few bites using feeder and pellet tactics.

Day three and final day for are trip on the wye again first time on this beat the back trop and surroundings area is nice but unfortunately that is where it ends before we began to fish we walked the hole stretch to say that this excellent fishing is NOT QUITE TRUE the top end was absolutely abysmal which is a shame with some work done on it you could make at least 8 to 10 swims so say that there was a mile of fishing not the case we payed good money for this beat well we felt we had been mugged plus the noise of the pump going ALL day is a shame so we all agreed that you could looking at 400yds or so of fishing as for the fishing we did managed to get some fish out but unless there is some work done on the top end we all agreed we definitely not return
