Bit of a patchy day but very enjoyable. This beat offers comfortable fishing with some swims more challenging for access. Make sure you take the R-hand access up the concrete slope in the farmyard and avoid driving into the cow slurry.
One angler cast around to find fish and bagged 6 barbel and a couple of chub. Second angler found fish in two places and bagged 4 barbel and a chub. Third angler was trotting and bagged a few chub plus a bonus perch on trotted pellet which just failed to reach the 3lb mark. Single pellet and very light feeding seemed to be the way.

Although the river level had dropped following high water levels a few days earlier, the water in front of us was very fast and we suffered with a large amount of leaves coming down and pulling the feeders out of position. We fished from 10am till 7pm but neither of us had so much as a touch all day. Usually a banker venue for us but not on this occasion sadly.

Lovely place, tried a few pegs but we found the fish in the end. Barbel to just over 9lb. Seen several salmon jumping too, which is always a stunning sight.

We parked by the river near the pump which was running. We had a long walk to the top end of the fishery there are few swims but there are some. David caught a chublet to start on maggot followed by a nice 9lb Barbel on hair rigged sweetcorn. The a whopping 7lb Chub came to his net using spiced luncheon meat this time.
Colin could only manage a Chublet to maggot and two 31b Chub to luncheon meat.
Thanks Wye and Usk.

Good day most of the fish in one area and most of the barbel under 12oz! Never seen so many small barbel on the Wye from all sections. Are they showing because the bigger fish weren't feeding? Thanks wuf.

All fairly small fish, but a barbel bite is a barbel bite. A pleasant day out.

Difficult day as could not find the fish despite trying several swims. Only hook up was an eel which fortunately dropped off at the net .
