Awesome day trotting the float ended up with 13 Barbel, biggest only 5lb or so, lots of small ones which is great for the future. One very green eel on the feeder. But 17 chub average stamp about 4lb biggest around 6lb. Lovely day, but the kayaks were chaos today never seen it so crowded. Morning and afternoon paddlers very polite and courteous, but midday crowd rude, many drunk and just landing all over the play. including all the pegs above me on Wyebank and the ones opposite. Families swimming and wading through the river below me then wading all the way up the nearside bank and through the swim ! TBH didnt put the fish off one bit, but does spoil the peace a bit ! River was low and clear but this does allow you to get out there and run the float. Best days fishing for an age.

Early morning produced Barbel and 1 chub from to feeder and meat. Moved to a couple of swims above the island and float fished for no fish till the canoe traffic got too heavy, around 10.30.
Afternoon session from 4pm till dusk stick float fished meat over hemp, 11 chub, 2 over 4ld and one went 5ld 2oz. Really enjoyable evening in the chesties, river very low and clear.
I fished on the bank holiday Sunday and the weather was hot, I thought there was a huge amount of canoe traffic once the hire operators got going around 10am where I was. There is also public access to the river just below the island and because of this there were still a good number of boats and paddle boards around till 6pm. But I was still getting bites when they were around .
The “other” fish was an Eel!

The weather was sunnier than I was expecting but the fish were happy to feed througout the day. All in good condition.

Stunning place but just the 1 chub after 30 seconds of dropping in. A 5lb 2ounce belter.

2 anglers fished for 5 small chub. This location is beautiful but it's alot of money to charge for 5 fishable pegs on the full mile stretch. I get it's a river but more pegs should be cut out for anglers. The only part with pegs was the middle field. None at the top end and none in the bottom field. I wouldnt recommend it to anybody coming with more than one person. Maybe something for the wye and usk to look into with the land owner ? This is the only time I have been slightly disappointed as every venue I have fished has been fantastic.

Fishing conditions wasn't great this time round as water level was abit lower than usual, with water on the place turns out double figures on chub and barbel ranging in all good weights managed to bank myself a nice 6lb barbel at the start of the session and also a healthy looking chub of around 5lb
