Really enjoyed fishing this stretch and trying the different swims, very bright and sunny all day which didn’t help. Most productive swim was half way up the stretch, by the metal gate just down from the shallows. All caught on feeder with GLM boilies. Other notes on the walk are right, a test of your fitness - travel light!

Water is still low, but was able to get into the water for some spectacular sport, trotting for Chub. Barbel came late afternoon as the light faded.

Lovely day with good selection of swims on this beat. The fish were obliging- 5 barbel to one angler and 4 to the other, including a special 10lb 2 oz fish. One of the best Wye fishing weeks we’ve had in the last 10 years.

Better for fishing the day before, started in the faster water. As usual the chub arrive first before the main target turn up. All things taken into consideration with the level of predation from otters to cormorants and this summers drought the fish are in good shape. Long may this continue for the mighty Wye.

The river is out of sorts. Low water levels unfortunately equals low flow finding the right water to fish. After walking the stretch I decided on two or three swims. Fishing swims not as deep but better flow was the key. Tackle to suit the condition, but not to light Barbel remember.

One fished. This stretch is not what it used to be. Blighted by the herd of cows and unfishable pegs.
