The river was so low that we struggled to locate many fish... had to wait until dusk before the barbel materialised but managed to catch a few chub during the day so still an enjoyable session.

2 Barbel, 8 Chub

Fished from 11am till 8pm. Bait - meat and pellet on with a feeder. Small barbel and average chub. River was very low so more challenging to get bits.

Barbel 8.7 and 8.9, chub from 2-5 lb caught all through the day.

Only a short beat but a productive one for the chub although barbel could be seen flashing in the streamer weed. There are only four pegs on this short stretch but all are easily accessible and reasonably comfortable to fish.
All the chub were taken on feeder tactics with krill boilies on the hair.
A great little stretch of river for a maximum of two anglers.

8 Chub

Tough going today, river extremely low and in need of some water. Fish did not seem interested but happy to go home with 1 barbel between us. Think we lost a barbel as well which was annoying.
Other was an eel which was a first for me.

Lowest I e ever seen it but nice colour and a bit of weed downstream. A few on float corn or meat but all barbel on pellet feeding very regularly with hemp. Couple of barbel caught on the drop and saw a barbel leap clear of the water. All the chub good fish and a couple of barbel would have nudged 8lb

Beautiful setting, well maintained cut out swims and fairly easy access to the length of the beat from the middle car park.
Probably my favourite beat on the Wye. Despite assistance from the ever helpful bailiff, a day of no fish.
Water levels low and water temperature hot and despite trying both slow and faster water at different times, using all methods and baits, no interest from the fish.
Will definitely return next year.

Feeder with pellet hookbait
