Lovely bucolic beat. Will return.
"Cardiac Hill" is rather trivial and bank access is good ( just the normal Wye steepness). I'd pack a rope/dog-lead peg after rain, or later in the year.
A long hot day in low level conditions, mostly (at times very) chubby until a few barbel from one localised area near dusk

4 Barbel, 40 Chub

5 fish over 3lb

Only one rod fished. All chub between 1lb and 5lb. Trotted meat from the croy. A good half hour walk from car park. Beat is well kept. Good access to pegs although some steep.

Bright day, river low but brown colour again, caught all fish on meat and pellet ledgering
Swims were nicely strimmed back, hopefully they will be next time when we return, banks are a bit steep but OK for us

Fished the top croy (not sure the fishing hut on the far bank is there any more ...assuming I was in the right place.
Walk down through the wood was steep but OK for me (may not be for others), and since I opted for the top peg it was a long walk along the bank; like the instructions state make sure you pack light!
Very pleasant evening trotting down off the croy with chub up to 4lb.

Rained hard all day, river was up and coloured. Blanked.

Three anglers for the afternoon travelling light. Cardiac hill seems to be getting easier. We were going to fish the Croy but good swims cut in the first field so didn't venture any further. Swims well cut out but recommend taking a rope as steep bank down to decent swims. Fishing was hard though.

River low and relatively clear. Odd clump of rannunculus and can only imagine what it must have been like when it was prolific here. Entrances to swims trimmed which was very welcomed. The fishing wasn't easy but we managed 15 chub mostly in the best way - trotting with centrepins. 10 decent ones and 5 that weren't quite lifters. From a number of swims from top to bottom of the beat. Managed a first in nearly 50 yrs of fishing namely catching an eel whilst trotting!. Not one for the unfit this beat and has the most badly designed footbridge to negotiate. One I would fish again though and hopefully the barbel will show next time.
