First time on this beat and only second time on the Wye. Fished feeder and halibut Pellet from 9am to 6pm. Fished bottom peg on left hand bank looking downstream until early afternoon. Just the one fish Barbel 5lb 8oz. Moved to top 'beach' beat on opposite bank in afternoon but no luck there.

First time on this stretch, initially fished the first swim by the hut. After a fishless two hours moved over the hill to d/stream of the woods. Caught throughout the afternoon and evening in a couple of different swims. All fish caught on pellets/PVA bag method. All fish between 3lb 8oz and 6lb 8oz apart from the best at 8lb 2oz.
Great day.

River pushing through and up slightly. Very few swims at this venue and difficult to get down to river. Fished from about 8.30 until dusk. Started slowly and improved during the day. Alan caught 10 barbel, Dave 6 and Pete 5 (10lb 12oz PB for the Wye). Chub up to 41/2 lb. Caught on pellet and meat.

The weather conditions were very windy with waves coming up the river, the 2 Barbel were in the 5 to 6lb range, with the chub at around 4lb, all taken on feeder tactics. Please note that the path down to the beat from the car park is heavily overgrown and very difficult to walk on. The willow tree at the bottom of the path has several bows broken, I would avoid standing / fishing near to it in high winds until something is done about it.

Nice stretch of the Wye and and an enjoyable days fishing. Swims on this stretch are quite limited as there don't seem to be any official swims and the banks are steep. There were quite a few anglers fishing on the opposite bank but this did not effect my fishing.

It was a shock to see that the river level had risen considerably overnight as there had been very little rain locally. Weather humid, water coloured and fast flowing, but without the barrage of debris that we experienced on Monday. All fish caught on pellet and included 2 barbel doubles (10.7 and 10.2) and chub to 4.6. One of our contingent (Chris) accounted for all of the fish except the 10.2.-what a day for the boy!

Great days fishing on a perfect looking river. Although the weather was hot and sunny this did not put the fish off with bites and fish coming regularly throughout the day.
We all used the same method (feeder with hemp and pellet) and various types of pellet on the hook. Most popular on the day was spicy sausage they accounted for 3 of the 6 Barbel caught and both Chub. I hope to return to this picturesque stretch one day as I know now where to find the fish and at what distance they are, I feel I will catch a few more.

We parked by the river near the pump which was running. We had a long walk to the top end of the fishery there are few swims but there are some. David caught a chublet to start on maggot followed by a nice 9lb Barbel on hair rigged sweetcorn. The a whopping 7lb Chub came to his net using spiced luncheon meat this time.
Colin could only manage a Chublet to maggot and two 31b Chub to luncheon meat.
Thanks Wye and Usk.
