What a difference a day makes. Arrived 6am on a fine crisp morning and started by baiting up before setting up our rods. We all started near the orchard and nearest field. Tom got 3 nice chub (4lbish) before 7:30am. Darren had a chub at 8:30, again 4lbish, I had an eel and a dace early on before the sun came up. Then lots of weed started coming down making fishing very hard with it catching the lines. Darren had another chub at around 1pm while I had a lovely barbel 8lb from a very snaggy area near where you park the car. Lost 2 larger fish that got round the trees near the edge - one must have been well over 10lb, it's head was huge. Did try further downstream but only got small chub and dace.
After 4pm the weed got less. Tom got 3 more good chub while Nick and Darren went to field next to car park. At 6pm Darren had an 8lb barbel and Nick got 3 barbel, one after another the biggest being 10lb+(still smiling now). I had 1 more chub 3lb and 2 barbel of about 6lb before packing up tired and battle weary.
Once again a great beat. Just the clear skies and non stop weed made it a very hard day. Overall the last 2 days between 4 rods: 20 + barbel and 15+ chub in low water, bright conditions. Well worth the lack of sleep. Thanks again WUF. We stayed at Grafton Travelodge, £16 a man cheap as chips!!

An excellent days fishing with 9 barbel and 5 chub caught mostly on pellet. The best fish of the week was caught here with a 9.5lb Barbel.

This was our first visit to the attractive lower stretch at Sugwas and we struggled to locate barbel in the snaggy and very clear water. Late into the evening we had a couple of mid-sized fish each to show for our efforts. I was a bit concerned at having a full sized bull for company in my peg but the old boy seemed friendly enough. I was somewhat relieved when he sauntered off to join his girls.

First time fishing the Wye. Difficult conditions with the wind blowing straight in my face but never the less I had a good day on a beautiful river. I only had my rod in the water for about 3 hours but I managed a barbel of about 4-5 pounds and lost another using groundbait feeder with pellets and hemp and pellets or boilie on the hook, so a good first day and looking forward to the next.

Great to be back on the Wye and another lovely beat, a day more suited to sunbathing than fishing but it beats working! 11 Barbel to 9lb 12oz and 3 Chub. The Barbel really started feeding as the sun went down, unfortunately we had to leave to check in to our B&B in time for dinner. Great day thanks W&UF!

Note to WUF: Would it be possible to add postcodes to the dayticket documents as some of these beats are very tricky to find?

Just chub, no barbel.

Flow quite fast on day 1. Water coloured. A few nice chub (5) to 5lb. One barbel 6lb 4oz. Next day water lower and slower with less activity. Just the two chub. A few lost fish. Lovely stretch and enjoyed it.

3 Barbel to just over 8lbs, only bites of the day.

First time on the Wye. Lovely beat, rising river, very brown and fast, lots of logs and debris coming down.
Managed to find slack water below snags.
Total - six barbel to 8lb, one chub.
Fantastic place in spite of the horrendous weather.

8 barbel, 2 at 6lb 14oz, 6lb 8oz, 6lb 1oz, and the other 4 inbetween 5 - 6lb. Had 2 bonus chub thrown in. River rising considerably and well coloured with weed and logs coming down. Love this beat and will return again. Thanks WUF.
