caught nothing all day. i used to love this beat for its almost guaranteed bag of big chub with the odd decent barbel thrown in, sadly that is no more.. totally devoid of fish, i spent over an hour walking the banks and did not spot a single fish apart from a few salmon jumping. will not be back..

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

One Chub well over 5 lb.. felt like a barbel and nearly dragged rod in ! Beat not as productive as last year but looked in good condition.

1 Chub

Fished the afternoon until dusk, river looked good apart from plenty of weed floating through , the one barbel we caught put up a massive fight !

1 Barbel

One barbel lost, and only three chub caught. Slow day but finally picked up in last 2 hours with plenty of knocks and fish showing. The banks are a little treacherous. The bailiff is a friendly and a pleasure to chat to.

3 Chub

This stretch has deep water under the near bank and is relatively easy to fish. The Bailiff met us early and was very freindly and helpful. I fancied a few hours on the float for a change and caught lots of chub to about a pound and a half on small cubes of meat before hooking a big fish which I eventually lost in a snag! Bites were hard to come by in the bright sun, but we eventually landed 5 Barbel to 8llb 10oz on meat and boilies.
The landowner on the other bank decided to drive a digger up the river to extract stone, much to the dismay of my mate!
We enjoyed this beat and look forward to returning soon.....

5 Barbel, 22 Chub

Fabulous beat with good access caught 5 chub 1 juvenile barble and an eel in the morning. Andy the gamekeeper came by early afternoon we had a nice chat very informative about local wildlife and fishing. Caught 2 good size barble in the afternoon around 8-9lb. All fish caught on pellet or meat. Another lovely day on the wye.

First time on this beat, very quite with easy access. Could have done with another couple of feet on water level(Or my landing net handle)!. Lost a fish each in the morning. Conditions were excellent at first but after midday bright sunshine
and very hot, far from ideal, and bites hard to come by. Had a visit from the game keeper around tea time,( didn't get your
name, apologies for that) but enjoyed our chat, pleased to meet you. As the sun went off the water we thought the last couple of hours would produce, however, several "knocks" but only two developed into anything substantial and both resulted in hook pulls!!. A wide range of baits tried including corn, pellet, various flavoured meats, cheese paste, boilies and trotted bread, most to no avail, only takes were on meat and pellet. Over all result, four fish lost one Eel landed, a nice day on the river but a tough day's fishing, lets get home and watch the cricket, --------- Oh dear!!!
