Well , nailed all the chores I wanted to do ... pretty goosed but I didn't fancy sitting in front of the Box watching mundane TV , so got my second wind after a scooby snack and onwards to the Whittern at six in the evening .... Great , fish rising when i got there ... Happy days !!!!!!!

A superb two and a half hours sport ... the Arrow brownies were full of their usual spirit .... I did dip the thermometer twice too get a water temp ... which was sitting at 15 degrees so all good at the mo !!

Great takes to my eighteen Para greenwells ... its odd , in the two long glides the takes from the trout there are a kind of a casual slurp ... almost like a carp on floating crust ... you can't take them for fools though and timing is everything if you wanna bring them to the net !! Nine made it tonight , various sizes from eight to twelve inches ... three slipped the hook and a few missed takes too .... always good strong tubby fish here ... it seemed alive tonight ... lively and buzzing !!!!!

Even though its low .... stealth and careful wading will pay dividends and of course careful casting ... most tonight were cast to risers ... Great fun ... a nice round off to a hectic day ... chippy on the way home through Leominster .... weeeeell you only live once hey !!!!!

Tough day with the heat and people/dogs swimming all along the beat.

Would avoid if it’s warm as it’s very busy there with people enjoying the water and you are limited to the bottom end of the beat.

Only 2 rods fished

Great beat, lovely day. Fished 0500-1300; no barbel.

Fished from lunchtime. Tough conditions during the afternoon but decent action in the evening with 4 barbel to 5.5lb and a few Chub all coming from the quicker paced downstream end. All caught on the feeder with fishmeal dumbbells and paste

Travelled from oxford, searing heat made the day uncomfortable with only 1 chub for our efforts.
Sadly the old weed bed that the carp loved is no more to be replaced by pebbles with a coating of brown crap, I’m Guessing this is because of the chicken farms.
There are plenty of chub in the lower shallow sections but no way to get to them because of the steep banks and overgrown foliage, maybe if the Wye and usk could get it cut back a few times a year the fishing would be better and worth the £53 day ticket price.
Sad to see this beat in such a state, I would avoid in favour of beats with more flow.
