Fished the lower end of the beat and were fishing for barbel. 1 rod had 1 chub at 4lb 5oz and other rod had 1 pike at 14lb 4oz and 1 chub at 4lb. Lovely part of the river even though no barbel banked.

Another tough session on Sugwas court, barbel not very obliging. Only one chub of around 2.5 pounds caught between two anglers, variety of baits tried including pellets, corn, maggots on maggot clip and meat. River was dropping and looked fantastic, couple of disco canoes(music blaring) went past to add to our misery although probably didn't affect the fish too much as they must have been elsewhere.

Started fishing at 1pm at the Orchard car park swim but nothing. Moved down one swim to a swim with difficult access and caught 4 barbel of about 4-5lbs within the next hour. After that it went quiet. I moved up stream to the wooded section where it appears shallower but no more bites. Still a lovely day in a lovely setting.

2 barbel, 8.5-9lbs and 6-7lbs. 3 chub, between 3 and 5.5lbs. Lovely beat but unfortunately in the swim I was fishing, a previous angler had discarded a lot of monofilament, rolled it up in a ball and left it in the hedge, not to mention a few hook lengths also with hooks and split shot still attached. Very dangerous for wildlife. Also a polystyrene cup. Quite why some people can't take their rubbish home with them is beyond me. A very enjoyable day other than that. Thanks WUF.

Arrived midday. River was up and coloured (but not as high as the section by Ross) and we felt confident of a few barbel during the afternoon, early evening.

Unfortunately our confidence was misplaced and in spite of baiting and fishing a couple of areas all we had to show for our efforts was just one chub! First ever barbel "blank" on the Wye!

Fished only the morning in heavy persistent rain - caught one barbel on pellet.

Fantastic piece of river. Only fished the morning, however I would love to explore this stretch further next time I return to the area. I ended the session with 3 chub, 3 barbel and lost one. Positive I would have caught more had I fished all day but was happy with my time there.

Another lovely day fishing on the Wye. Caught 3 Chub and just the 1 barbel, 7lb. All caught on pellet. Thanks.

Fished lower stretch, caught 2 barbel, 6lb 4oz and 6lb 12oz on pellet It was a pleasure to fish this superb stretch of river.

Fished the lower part of the beat from 10am to Midday, river was up and quite coloured, this resulted in one Barbel 9lb. Moved upstream in the afternoon and caught a further 7 Barbel. Great day on a wonderful beat, thank you WUF.
