Fished the morning in the upper most swim, had 4 barbel and loads of chub. Then moved down to the Hut swim and had a few more of each, excellent day's fishing.

Fished beats four and five from 8am to 8pm. Between the two of us we fished six swims in an effort to find the barbel. One fished pellet with robin red ground bait feeder, the other mainly single boilie on carpet of mixed ground bait.
The wooded swims on beat five produced good chub to 5lb all day. The open swims after the second "S" bend produced just two chub during the day. However as the sun went down four barbel were hooked, all subsequently were lost in some horrid snags which we assume were submerged logs. This section of the river beyond the backwater looks gravelly, with serenely smooth water. Don't be fooled!
Regrettably nowhere else produced barbel so the day ended with a great catch weight of eighteen hard fighting chub. Fish were taken throughout the day and rotating through four or five swims seemed to work best.
We will be back for the barbel very soon. This is a great venue in terrific scenic countryside.

What a fantastic place to sit and wait for bites. Scenery and wildlife outstanding. Unfortunately despite what looked like perfect conditions we found it very difficult to locate and catch fish.

The river was low, after the recent flooding.
lost a chub first thing in the. morning, quiet rest of the morning. Went to nearby pub 'Inn on the wye' for an early dinner, then returned for an evening session, where I caught 2 chub and a barbel around 9lb. feeder /pellet / boilie tactics used.

Bright sunny day, river slightly coloured just above normal level.
Caught most fish on feeder and pellet

Started fishing at 2pm in the middle section of the beat, this usually produces plenty of action but couldn’t get a bite in here . Moved upstream to some deeper water and eventually got into some barbel about 5pm , great evenings fishing , weather and conditions perfect , usual pellet approach.

River looked really good, about a foot or two up but no barbel came out to play. All chub from pylon pool or just below Luggsmouth.
