1 Barbel, 4 Chub

We arrived at the Fishery at 7-30am to find the river low and clear. I managed to catch 3 chub on pellet to about 4lb from under a tree about halfway along the stretch up to 3pm. After speaking to Glynn he advised us to fish the fast water at the top of the stretch. We tried various methods and baits to tempt the barbel but all to no avail. Low and clear water meant we were going to struggle which proved correct. We just got our timing wrong but living 120 miles away it is difficult to visit at the drop of a hat when the river is in top condition for the barbel. Maybe next time! Lovely accessible stretch!

Great beat, with some good looking swims. liked the short walk from the parking. The river looked perfect and the weather was mild for the time of year. Struggled a little for bites but 3 barbel landed and 3 chub. Wish we lived closer to the Wye, as it's very well run.

Fished from around 10 - 6 with some breaks in between. Lovely beat, could have done with a touch more water but conditions were fishable with a fly. Fish showed in the tail of the drop-off at the top end of the beat but in slack water and impossible to swing a fly past and no luck when stripping past. Thanks to Barry for his advice on the phone, much appreciated. Will be back I'm sure.

A very long fishery and the party had to cover much of it to find barbel. They were not in a cooperative mood. Managed to bag 6 barbel between us (1 person had 3 of them) to 9-13. Chub were more cooperative, especially for the trotters. A few trout were caught but numbers were not recorded. As with White House, the best bet for barbel was single pellet with very light feeding. This beat offers a very wide range of fishing if you are prepared to walk a bit.
