Really enjoyable late afternoon/evening fishing this beat. Tree lined along its length with good access to approx 10 swims cut down to the waters edge. Lots of cover down the nearside margin (where the flow is)with gravel beaches opposite. The fishing getting better as the light faded (as usual) each fish hooked dived for nearside rocks and roots ... great sport. Bait dropper hemp and pellets with pellet and paste on the hook. Would definitely return

It was our first trip to river wye and it was a wonderful experience. Caught only 1 barbel which is a bit of let down however had a busy day catching chub ranging between 1lb-4lb. Can't wait to visit again some other stretches of this beautiful river.

What a bizarre day on this stretch we've fished before. Water low and dropping with a tinge of brown. We struggled all morning to catch the barbel however huge chub after huge chub graced our landing nets in all swims.
Big (and small) chub succumbed to trotting tactics too which we like to do in the middle of the day to break up the tip-watching and we had one swim rocking so much so that we shared the trotting there. Then I ticked off an item from my bucket list, landing a barbel on the stick float.
Late afternoon we went roving once more, trying all swims along the stretch and picking up a couple of smallish barbel (and more big chub). Then, as dusk fell, we dropped on a group of barbel, holding station in a random place in the river, only a matter of metres away from baited areas (but we could not get a bite on those baited areas) yet cast to where the fish were and it was a bite every few minutes. Big chub and barbel again being landed. Chub to over 5lb and barbel to over 9lb. We were still getting bites as we left at curfew time.
A cracking day.

3 of us fished 6am - 11am then came back on the evening 6pm - 9pm, 5 barbel caught between us using feeder tactics on 8mm banded pellet. Biggest came to 8.8lb.
For 3 people this beat isn't recommended as there are probably 3 pegs to fish on the full beat and a really long walk to the limit of the beat where the pegs are available. I don't think we will return to this one but some big fish to be caught if travelling alone.
