A new beat to both of us. Easy to find. Arrived at 7am and found a rising coloured river that started to drop back around mid day. Caught from the start on standard feeder and pellet tactics. PM managed a total of 9 Barbel to 9lb 8oz a total of approx 65lb. SR had 8 to 8lb 14oz and a total approx 45lb. A good average size.
Sport stopped between 11.30am and 2pm as we have found in the past but this did coincide with activity on the far bank. Plenty of water to explore.
Caught up until 6pm then retired to the pub. A very good day. Thank you.

Bit hard to find and would be hard to get a car down the track if it was wet. Not too many swims to set up a chair in the first 1/4 mile, didn't go further? Flow was a little slower than I would have liked but colour OK. Fished feeder with Halibut pellet hook bait, always been a good method but not this time. No fish take.

Humid and dry conditions. River slightly up, bit coloured but running off nicely. Caught throughout the day on pellet.
Busy on opposite bank but everyone very jolly.

A bright sunny day. River was very low and clear, lost several fish in the pool above the old railway bridge. Chub was caught at the top of the beat and the barbel which was about 8lb came from further down in the deeper water. Saw lots of salmon leaping and there were more swans on the river than canoes. There was some sort of caravan and camping rally taking place in the fourth field down, they were all very friendly but it seamed like quite a few of them had been fishing the beat for the last week there were also people swimming with large inflated inner tubes at one point the other bank was busy with anglers and cars driving up and down the bank so not quite the peaceful days fishing I was expecting however it was great to be out on the Wye again will try to find somewhere a bit quieter next time.

Feeder and pellet. Nice stretch of river. Shame about the cattle in the field as they decided to join me. However, its par for the course when river fishing.

Hard day fishing with the river being high and coloured for the summer moved around and found some fish near the old bridge all taken on pellets with a swimfeeder nice to be out on the river again. Many thanks.

First time we fished this beat and 4th time on the Wye this year. Bit disappointed we haven't seen any WUF private fishing signs yet on the banks? and shame we couldn't drive to the upper section as the road was closed. In clear river conditions we did have 2 nice barbel on meat and lost one on the middle deeper section. There is a club on the opposite bank who fish it regular, but seemed friendly enough.
