Lovely looking spot although the river was up approx 12 feet when I first arrived on Saturday, in fact my normal dog walking routes were under water around Ross. This meant only a limited number of swims were fishable,I found an area of slack water and fished the crease for seven barbel to about 7lb and two lost. Will try again in September, this beat was new to me and looks worth exploring.

River coloured and rising all day. 8 barbel and 10 chub all on pellet.

10 barbel, 8 chub all on pellet.

First time on the Wye and always difficult to get to grips with a new stretch but I managed 4 Chub all around 3-4lb from Rock Pool and further upstream.
Beautiful days fishing and worth staying on until dusk as bites increased then. Will be back.

First time on this beat for us. It's definitey a beautiful place particularly at the bottom end looking down river - wonderful! From a fishing perspective there is clearly a lot of work been put in creating "permanent" swims but choice is still somewhat restricted with a fair proportion of the beat inacessible.
We managed 2 barbel & a chub between us and lost a couple of barbel. The best barbel went 8.10. We were also unfortunate to encounter a Welsh "gentleman" fishing on the far bank who clearly owned the entire river as he proceeded to tell us in a very rude and aggressive manner that we were not allowed to fish anywhere near him! We had no intention of doing so but his manner was disgusting!

Arrived to find another beautiful stretch of river, roved the length, and managed 8 barbel to 7lb 11oz, and 2 chub to 4lbs. The angler load on the river is just right for such beautiful, tranquil surroundings, keep up the good work.

8lb Barbel caught on meat. Two other barbel hooked but not landed both on meat.

Due to the heavy rain and low temperature I only fished the beat for about 90 minutes and inevitably "blanked". I will return!

Was it really 23rd February as temperatures soared to 17 degrees as the two intrepid anglers decked out in layers of thermals and winter apparel began to disrobe bit by bit as they walked the length of this beat set in wonderful countryside for the first time.
With great anticipation we settled for the two pegs at the lower end of the beat, we thought known as the Rock Pool. After 3 biteless hours though a decision was made to move up the beat to fish the two pegs nearest to the line of trees which proved to be the right move.
With the river rising, about a foot overall during the day, the fish started to oblige around mid afternoon and between us we had four Barbel 7lb 1oz, 6lb 10oz, 6lb 7oz and 3lb 9oz and one Chub 3lb 1oz
These fish were caught on either meat or pellet fishing fairly close in down the side.

7 chub on bread and cheese paste. Hard day had to keep moving to get bites.
