One large chub caught free-lining meat, several other chub on mainly legered meat or pellets. Two barbel between eight and nine pounds and a third of just under six, all on legered pellets. One good barbel lost when free-lining meat.

River was low and clear , weather was overcast and raining most of the day. We caught throughout the day. Total 9 barbel to 9 pounds 1 ounce plus 3 chub to about 4 pounds. All on ledgered pellet. We had a few standoffs with the heffers and one particularly large bull that were in the field alongside the river bank , each time they eventually moved on . They appear to like the shelter of the bankside vegetation.

Planned to fish the float but the river was carrying a bit too much colour so fished the feeder . Used meat and pellets with meat catching the most . All in all another good day on the Wye. Good beat good access thanks WUF.

Overall, given the strong reputation of this beat, this was a disappointing experience.
The upper areas with the faster water are mostly unfishable due to overgrown banks and the number of closely growing mature trees at the river's edge. Half hour lost investigating upper beat. Drove to lower section, found two fishable swims with any depth/speed of water.
Bearing in mind £25.50 ticket price, it's not unreasonable to expect better choice and quality of swims - this might explain the fairly low number of bookings on this well known stretch of water.
