Day 1. Fished upper beat,access to some swims hard but pre-baited pump station and two swims nearest style, fished from 7.30 am to 8.00pm using 2oz cage feeder packed with Elips ground bait and hemp, laced with elips pellets. Barbel ranged from 4lb to 61/2lb chub well spawned out.

Another lovely day on a wonderful stretch, all fish on pellet. Thank you Wye and Usk.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub

Fished all of the lower part of the beat. One barbel late on opposite the two big houses plus a perch on a spinner in margins. Too bright today but a superb beat much improved since last visit. Day 2 of 3.

Had a great day and a lovely beat, hooked two barbel and lost both!! We are still trying to work out why? Although plenty of activity and we didnt manage to bank a fish but we still very much enjoyed our day on the river. Many thanks WUF for all your work.

Fished a variety of swims during the day for 1 barbel and 1 chub. Moved late afternoon and had a barbel and chub in successive casts as had my fishing partner. Nothing else until suddenly at 8pm it was one a chuck. Had 5 barbel and 3 chub in an hour. Packed up at 9 but they were still feeding. Partner had packed up at 8!! All but 1 barbel caught on sweetcorn. Will return to this stretch another time.

Wasn't able to fish upper /deeper part of beat (nice chap already ensconced). Fished the mid section, not a sausage. Couldnt stay too late which may have been the key to that stretch at that level of flow.

Great river conditions but weed is building up now, caught the same chub twice, it had fresh bite marks on its tail. I suspect it was done by an otter that I saw 3 times. An enjoyable day thanks.

Very hot and bright, water now very low and weedy. However 3 fish, 2 barbel both around 7 1/2 so no complaints.

Fished afternoon, 2 barbell. River started to rise as I was leaving. Wish I was fishing tomorrow.

Fished from 11am through to 8pm on lower beat. Largest barbel 7 1/2 pounds. Cut weed constantly coming down river throughout the day which was a bit of a problem. However still managed 7 barbel. It was another great day on the Wye and Usk, thanks again.
