2 rods, I fished at the very end of the beat, 1/3 to 1/2 way out. Cage feeder with halibut pellets, meat or pellet hair rigged. Caught barbel early before 9.00am. Chub and barbel late morning, nothing after 3.00pm. The other rod caught nothing all day even by moving from start of beat to close to the end.
Barbel to 5 1/2 lbs, chub just over 4lbs. Nice to see a few smaller barbel from a 1lb upto 3lb. River seemed to be perfect for a good days fishing and the weather was also very good (overcast, mild and slight drizzle) but no larger fish were caught and the beat seemed to be only fishing well at he far end. The pathway is easy to get along, but the bank became very slippy with the rain. Be careful at the end of the beat. A safe place to fish and very relaxing.

First time on this stretch and not disappointed, very well maintained and Collin the Ghillie is one the nicest people you could meet. In two days me and my mate caught 2 barbel and 47 chub between us, my mate trotting took most of the Chub. The river looked good but with all our best efforts could only manage the 2 barbel. We will return next year as we really enjoyed the two days. Stayed at the Brandon Lodge, also very impressed, clean rooms, beds are great and breakfast is very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Thanks WUF for a great couple of great days.

Had a great day again guiding a client. After a very tough morning however, a move to another area saw 7 barbel with one at 10lbs 11oz. All caught on pellet. Surprised on how low the river was after recent rain.
A great day completed by a new pb chub of 5lbs 8oz for my client. A super beat with loads of potential.

Started later in the day. Caught a small chub immediately followed by one of 3lb 5oz later on. The Barbel showed up late afternoon with four, the best of which was my first double at last! Stayed in the Inn On The Wye which was handy and excellent service although the food was only ok.

5 chub, poor day. Lack of suitable swims, could not get near river for most of the beat. Access to the river is a long walk and even further on the way back after spending most of the day finding somewhere to fish.

WUF note - As per the beat notes provided, anglers are permitted to drive a car along full length of this beat. The beat is over 1 mile long with over 20 swims, including one beach area over 100 yards long that produces a lot of fish.
