One very small chub. Nevertheless, the rain held off and I enjoyed being by the river.

A beautiful stretch of water! We arrived early and chose our spot, I struggled until about 1600 catching 4 nice chub on pellet, then after 4pm the Barbel began showing, all taken on pellet. JT had a fantastic day trotting with a float with pellet. 34 Chub later......
Thanks to the Wye and Usk.

4 Barbel, 38 Chub

Be prepared to take a walk on the wild side, the path to the beat is chest high with vegetation, not wishing to trample the crops I ploughed through it and was soaking wet by the time I reached the bank (be warned). Not much flow despite recent showers. Two good size Barbel early on in the slow water and some Chub furher down where the flow speeds up past the Island. The walk down to the beat would put me off booking again. I understand there is a footpath behind the church, could we not use that?

A good day fishing, river was very low. My friend and I managed 20 barbel and 16 chub.

20 Barbel, 16 Chub

Gorgeous looking beat and lovely day. I fished quite a few different swims and caught barbel in 3 - the largest was 7, the rest 5-6lbs. The chub were mostly 2.5ish or less and I managed to catch my first eel in about 20 years. There were only a couple of anglers the other side, so plenty of swims were fishable. Many thanks WUF.

River started to rise about 2pm after a blank morning. Continuous rafts of weed came down so for the sake of sanity packed up about 6pm after having to move back up the shingle bank at the Pylons swim several times as the river rose. One barbel and lots of lost tackle. Fishing opposite bank (Upper Holme Lacey) tomorrow without much anticipation.

Fished 4 hours in the evening on beat 5. Water running low and clear, caught 1 chub.

First time fishing this beat the water was low & clear but caught fish in fast water that fell to ledgered pellet later in the day in total 9 barbel between 2-7lb & 4 chub were landed. A nice beat to fish but not many swims when water is low also leaving the beat through the gate onto the road can be very dodgy you have been warned!!

9 Barbel, 4 Chub

Fished lower beat in fast water opposite Island but it could not get a bite on luncheon meat or pellet from early a.m.to late a.m. I think I need another crack at this venue looking at recent catches on trotted bread flake in slower water on other side of the river..

Lovely few hours on my idea of a true wild stream. Deep pools with big fish. Both caught on a rusty klinkhammer, missed numerous others. Will be back to try again.... My casting has certainly improved, only caught 1 tree today!
