Well arriving early saw a good few chub feeding at first light 4am, but few barbel. However as the feed went in it drew the barbel up into the swim. Caught plenty of chub between 2-3lbs plus a few at 1lb. Then at 10am the barbel came up into the swim and the activity from then on was none stop. Keep casting out every 10 minutes. Used plenty of pellets plus a good few kg of ground bait. Finished right the day. At 7pm knackered but happy. Thanks to WUF and Don and Rudi for a great day. Looking forward to returning. The end count was 26 barbel between 2-7lbs and 31 chub. Plus one eel.

What a memorable days fishing! The quality of the fish here is fantastic! A big thank you to Don for putting me in the right swim. The first bite came within 30 seconds of casting resulting in a 9lb barbel. Other fish caught were barbel averaging 5-7lb and chub in 2-3lb class, plus one eel that got its head stuck in my swim feeder. It is good to see that eels are still about in the river even if they are a pain. Thank you WUF.

First time fishing this beat. Caught a couple of barbel and chub from the bottom swim in the morning. After a pub lunch felt lazy so set up in top swim and had a nap on the bank. Don woke me from my slumber and probably saved me from burning in the sun. Thanks Don! Following his advice, I returned to the bottom swim and enjoyed a very successful afternoon - All in all 17 chub to about 3lb and 13 Barbel to 7lb 6oz, all caught on feeder and pellet. Will definitely be back! Lost a couple of bigger barbel to a hook pull and rocks. Unfinished business - will definitely be back!

Great days fishing for my son and I. 13 barbel and 6 chub including a new pb for me of 10.5lbs. Fishing was great in the morning but pretty much died in the afternoon. Early evening didn't improve but we had to leave by 7pm.
Still pleased with the overall result. Dust time on this stretch. Have fished Home fishery previously with success but fed up with the walking, so it was nice to have a short walk and settle in to a swim made the day. Booked again for a few weeks time. Hopefully we'll get some rain in the river between now and then, but not too much.

A short, shallow stretch with the two pools the only areas worth targeting in the low water conditions. Accessibility is good and there is a pub at the head of the stretch (nice) but it acts as a lunchtime stopover for many canoeists so if canoeists put you off your fishing don't book this stretch.
Could only find one barbel but lost count of the chub up to 4lb.
I prefer other stretches to this but would fish it again in higher water.

Second day of two day trip. A lot brighter day and river possibly dropped a little. Started early and a really glorious morning. Caught a few fish then a leisurely breakfast and caught up with some sleep! Pre baited a couple of areas then a pub lunch at the Courtfield Arms. Had a look around before starting an evening session. Caught plenty of fish and tried to target the bigger barbel with some success. Unfortunately my digital scales failed me but I reckon at least one was a double and several others 8-9lb. Good chat with Don, he is very knowledgeable about the river, my advice is to not ignore his! Be back soon.

Arrived late morning for first of two days fishing. River was dropping and running quick, not much streamer weed. Fished an hour or so straight away as couldn't resist and caught several barbel and chub. Then left the stretch for the afternoon to the canoeists. Fished again in the evening and what a great session. Lovely summer weather, maybe a bit too bright but plenty of fish. The rod didn't rest for long. Already planning a return.

Well not a bad start to the new season. Fished the bottom pool as advised by Don and caught steadily from first cast.I used both feeder and float and caught well on both methods. This was the first time I have fished this short and shallow stretch of the Wye but it wont be the last. Many thanks to Don and the WUF.

Crazy days fishing.
Lost 18 feeders on snags but found fish in fast water.
Met Don. What a lovely man and very helpful.
Bottom peg produced most. Had two chub on chips whist having takeaway fish and chips!
