Fished a double swim with my son just down stream of wood with my nephew in the next swim we all caught well on pellet. The river was dropping nicely with a bit of colour. This is a top class fishery that we were happy to return to after catching over 20 barbel and 30 chub in a day last year. This time we had 26 barbel and 29 chub on the first day and 14 barbel 32 chub on the second, you need a lot of bait to make this fish well, what a place.

26 Barbel, 29 Chub

Fished pellet at the far end of the fishery.

We had approx 12 barbel to 10lb and approx 30 chub to 5lb. The river was in perfect condition following the previous weeks heavy rains.

First time on this beautiful beat. Walked the length and chose an area to target that looked good for the conditions, up about one foot.
We fished on groundbait feeder and pellet and got plenty of chub action with the occasional barbel appearance. The chub really did scrap hard today too. Best barbel was weighed and it went 9lb 2oz. Wildlife today included kingfisher, buzzard, mandarin duck with chicks, reed bunting, sparrowhawk, long tailed tits, heron to name a few. Plenty of swims to go at here and all well strimmed so access is good along the bank.

Had the best days fishing ever on our beloved river Wye. Arrived early and a bit of colour in the water, fish fed all day catching around 12 chub to around 4lb and several Barbel to around 9lb. It was a great day and we can't wait to go back. Only think to note bank access is a little more challenging but this all ads to the adventure. Thanks again WAF.

A great day, river was high and difficult to fish. Never the less chub caught throughout the day and one very large eel. We had a little problem when we arrived about eleven as there was someone else fishing. He quickly packed up as he knew he was not meant to be there. When he was challenged he claimed he thought it was day ticket money collected on the bank. I noticed that the sign had been pulled off the post on the far side of the bank. I would like to compliment the farmer for the efforts he has made to allow access to the water for the anglers. All fish and eel were caught on luncheon meat.
