Oh so rusty , as rusty as the Klink used to miss 6 in the first 50 yards entering from the parking area track. Made things even more difficult for myself by leaving behind my flip down magnifying bins ! Decided not to spend the day trying to thread line through the eye so picked the slightly easier spots. Nothing until the flats above the weir, two covered with a Greenwells Glory , one needing the net and the other to hand. Called it a day after that. Absolutely whacked after the move up here, but hey, this is why I made the move ! A peach of a beat for the small river/stream addicts, will be back with my bins next time and fish it how should be done .

River conditions looked good and I caught steadily throughout the day using feeder with meat and pellets. Fed the swim regularly and had twelve chub over four pounds and two over 5lb. No sign of any barbel, but plenty of wildlife with a very busy kingfisher opposite me and late afternoon two otters came through the swim which made things quiet for an hour. All nineteen fish in great condition ????

Perfect conditions this time for fishing the Wye, not tropical heat . Early start and a beautiful morning. I was into the chub from the first cast. River was a nice pace and that brown colour has run out, leaving sparkly water again. I fished feeder with bread flake to have fun with the chub on my new feeder rod, then I switched to a big balsa and had even more fun trotting bread or meat, it was great sport. Chub up to 5lb on the float, superb. I switched back to feeder and fished pellet for an hour and truly christened my new feeder rod with a splendid 9lb 5oz barbel, in fact my first barbel of the season. Happy man. Then back on the float fishing meat and caught more Chub and 2 barbel around 5lb each. I went home with a nice big smile on my face, wonderful day. I love hungry Chub as equally as Barbel so I had a great mixed bag. Thanks to WUF for this lovely scenic beat and the access.

Good days fishing as usual on this beat. Only 6 canoes all day, wonderful. Eleven Barbel, 11 Chub & 1 Dace on pellet feeder.
River much higher than we usually find it so we struggled with the tackle we had. We are now too old to fish this beat again as the path to the end pool is in a very poor and dangerous state and gets harder every year.

Weather cloudy not to hot. River condition reasonable good with good colour and reasonable flow.
1 rod 4 barbel up to 10lb and 1 chub to 5lb. 1 for 3 chub up to 6lb. Great day both of us enjoyed it. Fantastic location and will book again soon.

I started fishing pellet and feeder but there was so much silk weed coming down stream it was impossible to present a bait properly and I spent the first two hours without a bite. Set the float rod up and first trot through a Barbel of around 7lb, caught steadily then until I packed up at 1pm. It seems a static bait was just getting smothered in silk weed but a moving bait was readily accepted.
