Largest chub was just over 3lb and the largest barbel was 7lb 9oz. Very positive bites and in quick succession towards nightfall with little activity over lunch

Had a tough session for one of our party and a brilliant session for the other.
One of us went straight to a known swim and got set up for an afternoon on the pin. A brilliant session unfolded with 11 barbel and 1 eel all on the Wallis cast and centrepin. The only sound being the wildlife and the pin screeching!
The other angler struggled in comparison trying new areas with only a chub to show for an afternoons fishing. Eventually settling into a swim a barbel was soon hooked but unfortunately lost in a snag mid river. Eventually the fish came back with 3 in quick succession in the last 30mins. It was less quiet up that end due to a combine harvester in the field kicking out a lot of dust and noise!!!

First visit to this beat and we had a really good day.
The barbel seemed to start feeding from mid afternoon onwards. Most fish falling to swimfeeder and pellet but also a few on meat. Best Barbel of the day weighed 8lbs 7oz with most being around the 6lbs mark. Other fish were eels caught on meat. Hope to return here on next trip.

Difficult day on a low,clear river. Couple of days too early probably after rain on saturday. Never fails to impress though. Thankyou WUF.

Difficult day today managing 4 chub and the one Barbel
These all fell to the rolling ledger and meat tactic as static baits didn't work at all. Lovely stretch

Super sunny and hot, tried a few pools but probs had to be there late or early to get the full benefit of this lovely beat, great access, thanks WUF

Really enjoyed fishing here. Struggled to find the fish at first, I was casting in the much faster flowing areas. Usually on the Wye these are the holding spots but not the case here. Luckily there was another angler a few swims down who fishes it regularly, he told me where the good spots were and within minutes the fish started coming, thanks again Colin! All the barbel I caught where of a good size, smallest at 7lb biggest was 9lb. Good access and parking and plenty of room once your on the bank. I will be back again for sure - great fishing!

Fishing a bit tougher than usual, one decent barbel around 9lbs. Always good to be out fishing though though.

Absolutely spectacularly beautiful place. Very hot and bright sunshine all day. Fish switched on in last two hours of daylight. Up to 8lb for the barbel. Chub miniscule.
Barbel caught on pellet.
One rod blanked (except for the tiny chub) but it was a joy to be in such a gorgeous place.
