Loose weed floating down made things a bit awkward but had 4 nice Barbel on feeder and pellett. A bright day but very pleasant and the fish were a bonus.

3 Barbel and 5 Chub

1 Barbel & 2 Chub. River rising and lots of weed.

Excuses: firstly, low clear river, blue skys and very hot. Not great conditions so we didn't arrive until 12pm. Then things got interesting to say the least!! A young lady was walking her dog as we drove to the bottom of the beat only to strip off before putting on a cossy and having a swim in the pool at the end. Thank you Wye & Usk - do we owe you any extra money for above entertainment??
p.s. fishing great considering conditions with plenty of chub plus 3 barbel as the sun dropped away. Great beat, will be back soon.

1st time on the Wye. Weather very hot and sunny and the river a little low. Hard fishing with a single chub being the only decent fish landed between 2 rods.

A hard day. Only 5 barbel between 4 rods plus a couple of chub. No bites till evening. Bait: pellet.

What a wonderful length. Quite a long stretch but you can drive along and park at the river side in good conditions. Some scary looking bulls but didn't cause a problem. Weather was good and caught steadily through the day.
Finished with 10 barbel, most around the 5lb mark but did have a 7 5 and a 9 1.

The swims with some flow seemed to produce fish. I was expecting more canoe traffic and the ones I saw were very well meaning. Love to come back.

Finally got on here. 18 barbel to 3 of us, all on pellet but rather uneven (14/3/1). It did include 8lb 12oz & 9lb 6oz fish. Lovely stretch but a lot of water to review on a 1st visit

2 Barbel to 8lb for one rod, one of the other rods had 14.

A very enjoyable day out. The river was at normal levels and quite clear and the weather was generally kind to us although we did have a downpour late in the piece. This beat is excellent with lots of varied water and very good access, the major problem is that you are spoilt for choice on where to fish. We had around a dozen barbel with the best going mid 7's. All were taken on pellet or small cubes of meat. We also had the pleasure of sharing the beat with a thoroughly nice guy from Essex and I'm pleased to say that he had some success too. In 40 years of angling I can honestly say that, with very few exceptions, every angler I've ever met has been friendly and helpful and I think that says it all about angling and anglers in general!
