I had not tried this beat before and I found the river running well and clear. A warm, cloudy, still afternoon and all looked good. Walked the bank in the first field and found a few accessible swims (and a few more that I might have scrambled to a few years ago, but not anymore!). Settled down in my chosen spot and had a good barbel on my second cast. A quiet hour followed and I was then into another fish which I lost in a snag. another longish wait, then a third bite and a second barbel. That was the end of the meaningful action with just a few chub rattles and the evening was entirely unproductive. However two decent fish were sufficient reward for a first visit on this attractive beat.

Slow during the day apart from moderate sized chub on the float. Barbel from 6pm. A very pleasant beat with a variety of swims.

First time on this beat. Travelling light was good advice. I was the only angler on the beat and fished pretty much every swim over the course of the day. Beautiful day, started at dawn with the mist hanging over the river and fields, rested in the heat of the day and started again around 4pm. Classic Wye Valley beat with plenty of wildlife, a handful of canoeists and wild swimmers all of whom seem unable to enjoy the river noiselessly. Irritating but no more. Only two fish today, but they were worth every penny.

On my own for the last two days so fancied a bit of a roving day as the river was coming up again. Started at the top croy and ended up at the bottom meadow and caught barbel in every swim.
Super day with 10 barbel to show for it
