Yet another beautiful stretch of the Wye. Good access to the banks, lots of room to set up, good pace to the river. I get the impression this is a good salmon water with plenty leaping about, took me a while to find the fish moving up and down the beat but finally got some. All the chub were a good size, all around 4lb. Would have liked more barbel but was more than happy with my catch. I fished halfway between the pylon and where the rocks peak out into the river, this proved to be the spot. Nice venue great fishing.

A good day on this well maintained fishery. A nice Barbel of 8lbs 8oz and 2 small ones around 2lbs each. Plenty of Chub feeding all day long'mostly around 3lbs each.
Lots of wildlife sightings including Kingfishers, Cuckoos, Buzzards and an Otter. Looking forward to returning in September.

I’d booked this section as a change from the Wye and to explore smaller river habitat. The river was still running full and coloured after heavy rain so couldn’t judge depth or features. I walked the full length through nice managed woodland and meadow. River bank vegetation was high but the metal landing net handle came in handy! I had one chub just over 4lb. Would like to return when levels have dropped and be able to stalk fish. Youngsters were using the opposite bank a lot mid-section and others had dogs. This is the nature reserve side accessible by footpaths.

Dead baits + lures. First time fishing the river but appeared too fast for some of the methods that produce on other slower rivers. Saw 3 large 70cm + salmon jump while fishing.

River was still fairly high but the colour was good. Fished at the metal steps at the lower end of the section. Fished pellet in a large open end feeder answer 12 mm halibut pellet on hook. After couple of hours had a few good bites but sure they were chub, did not connect with anything. Then a classic tap and rod bent round and soon a barbel of around 8 lbs was in the net. Fished on but strangely no further bites so moved up into the meadow just above the middle parking spot. Thanks to the appearance of very hot sun had no further bites so packed up an hour later. Th roughly enjoyed the day and will certainly be back.

When we booked this length back in January I was planning to do some trotting on this short and shallow stretch however the river was still a couple of feet up and there was no chance of this. We did find some fish on the right hand bank where the flow was a little steadier. We had 9 barbel to 8lb 1 oz and 4 chub to 4lb 6oz on feeder and pellet tactics.
