A rising, heavily coloured river after heavy overnight rain spoiled sport today. Just one small chub on bread, caught in the grass about 18 inches from the bank. Tried lots of different tactics and baits over a full day but without further success.

1st time on this beat, nice easy access and plenty of swims although when the river is this low we could only find a bit of depth in the 1st field. CH had 4 and I 1 all on the usual pellet feeder method. Would certainly return here with a few more feet of water on. Fish were 5 to just under 8lb.

The low clear river conditions along with a couple of otters for company at various parts of the day did little to help the chances of catching a few fish. Despite trying various baits, hook sizes and hook lengths all looked to be heading for a blank (except for a few minnows for a bit of sport) until a 4lb barbel took a liking to the garlic meat put on offer by my companion John towards the end of the day. Its a steep, tricky climb back up through the woods and thats in dry conditions, we have tried it before in wet conditions and with kit is quite dangerous and slippy. A few more rails to hold on to would not go a miss. A lovely beat though as far as getting away from it all goes, hardly a sound to be heard at times and surrounded by lovely countryside and woods.

Had a great day fishing on the open end feeder. Had bites pretty much all day. Chub were all around the 3lb mark and biggest Barbel was about 6lb. River conditions were fine - no weed or leaves coming downstream.

Ist time ive fished this beat, absolutely stunning scenery.
Fished most of the swims with float and feeder, did not get a bite other than minnows.
The river is very low and clear plus it was bright sunshine all day. Not the best fishing conditions. But it was just nice to be in such a pristine part of the Wye valley.
