Great beat, turning is tight and you need to be careful on entering and leaving due to the fast road. Lots of swims to choose from and we fished the wooded areas.

Swims are well kept and maintained, I don't like fishing where there are steps and pontoons to fish from and prefer the more natural looking beats. First time at this beat since 2017 and I will be back, not sure why I left it so long. It was the end of 3 days superb fishing on the Wye.

Other fish was an eel of just under a pound.

2x 6lb Barbel caught on normal feeder tactics through the morning session. Trotted the afternoon session in the upstream portion with a couple of small chub caught. Was joined in the river by an Otter whilst wading which was good to see.

Lovely day on a well maintained beat. One angler lost a barbel early on then rest of day it was all chub, both on trotted meat and groundbait feeder with various hook baits. Chub from 1.5 to 5.5lb, most around 3lb. One angler caught a surprise 1lb+ roach on trotted meat. Lots of canoeists, all friendly and courteous.

River was up a bit with colour in the morning, dropped by the evening. Fished the upper section. Nice water with deeper water at the top and shallow faster water by the fire. Barbel came from 2nd swim up from the fire but went quite about 1pm. Moved to the fire swim for the evening and lost 2 barbel due to using long shank hooks. First time I’ve pulled out a barbel so not using them again. Shame about the fire as the beat is quality otherwise. Barbel covered in lice. Not sure if £25 is a fair price anymore given the river not being at its best. Just saying! End on a positive, there are a few salmon in the top pool.

Another amazing day on the wye plenty of bites throughout the day. Really good acces both sides of this short beat. All fish caught on feeder with barbel bomb, a little snaggy lost a few fish but you soon learn where not to cast. All in all a lovely beat and I can't wait to come back.
