Mobile approach,covered a lot of water, failed to find any steady bite producing areas, fished 12 hours, canoes not too much of a problem

Morning started well with early barbel to me. The sky cleared and got very hot fishing then very hard but when sun went down they came back on the feed: three more for me best around 71/2 and my friend had two more including best fish of the day at 8lb, we both fished pellet and feeder chub were all small about 3lb. Great fishery, very helpful river keeper but some repair work is needed to steps leading down to swims and new swims have not had steps cut which are needed on these steep banks for safe fishing especially when wet; we will be back.

This is an attractive beat with good access when dry and always looks as if it should produce a lot of barbel. We did have a flurry of activity towards the end of the day but the fish were very localised and seemingly absent from a large stretch of the water.
5 medium sized barbel and 3 chub took a liking to our pellets after a long wait.

The evening before was a clear night, got to the beat around 7am it was like a freezing cold sunny morning, baited up 5 swims the river was gin clear and low....started fishing around 9am spent 2 hours in each swim not a bite....way to sunny and with the cold evening and morning made for a bad days fishing for barbel....had about 16 canoes come past....

Drove down from Yorkshire today and didn't get to the beat until 4pm. We both fished the same swim and caught steadily all evening. Average size of 6lb with the biggest going 8lb 9oz. All immaculate fish.
We fished on hair rigged pellet and bomb/feeder catapulting in a few freebies.
A lovely beat and one of our favourites. Great to see the kingfishers diving.

Slow during the day due to bright sunny conditions but we all had a great evening. Lots of pegs at the top of the beat but not many at the lower part. All in all an excellent day, the 1 pike was caught on a static pellet!!

River flow good - fished swim feeders with small boilies.
Most fish caught late afternoon - ceased fishing at 6pm.

An absolute bargain to have this short beat to yourself all day. I was keen to catch barbel after not seeing one for a couple of years on my local river so I did my best to avoid chub and could have caught lots more, the beat is stuffed with them. Some were clonkers 5lb+ that made up for the lack of barbel. The barbel I did catch was a baby, which was cute. On a general fishery note, well maintained, good access points created to fish from, its the Wye so is of course beautiful as always. I would return to this beat. Thanks.
