Our first visit to this beat. Many of the swims downstream from the weir look ideal for barbel, but we failed to catch any in what seemed ideal conditions. After fishing a number of swims, three good chub between us late on of around 4lb apiece saved a blank.

Had an enjoyable days fishing on my 1st visit to this stretch. After a long and very muddy walk to the fishery I worked my way upstream from the bottom of the stretch. Spending the day roving I managed just a solitary jack pike. Looked good so may return in the future.
NB; Take extra care when wet as I found the banks to be quite dangerous due to being steep and very muddy.

Chub (3) 1@4lbs, 1 @ 3 lbs 1 @ 2lbs all estimated - must buy a set of scales!!! Bread flake worked today. Should have caught at least 6 more - definately now very slow! But was my first time fishing the Wye (poor excuse). Excellent venue, excellent online booking service. Thanks WUF, will definitely be back for more.

First time on this beat - well impressed by the swims, lots of them, good access (take a rope with you for those high and slippy banks, tying off posts at top of most pegs). Really good mixture of water, fast, steady and slow glides. Slow and deep on the lower section. Spent the day deadbaiting for pike but alas they were not playing today. Tried a bit of lure fishing as well. As well, next time.... Thanks all at w&uf

Not a single bite all day, but a nice location, did see some nice chub taking floating bread. It's one hell of a walk to the bottom of the beat, I think this needs to be highlighted to potential anglers before booking.

WUF note - The length of walk to the limits of the beat are equal to the length of the beat - this applies to all fisheries.

River very low and clear which provided a convenient excuse for our complete lack of any fish today.

An enjoyable day on a lovely beat. I fished opposite the weir gardens, 3 chub caught all on legered bread flake.

Took the minimum of gear today and decided to try a roving approach for the pike. Had a nice 8lber early on and a 14lber in fantastic condition in the afternoon towards the bottom of the beat. Both fish on deadbaits.
Salmon very active today with a couple of very acrobatic fish keeping me entertained!

Trotted herring produced a old warrior of 28lb (new PB) and a couple of hard fighting well conditioned fish of 17lb and 11lb. The 17lber broke my rod when it tail walked under the tip!

Almost spring like weather today, ideal for our first visit to this beat.
After negotiating the deep water filled ruts on the track and several stiles we reached a cracking stretch of river.
Started towards the top of the stretch opposite the Weir Garden and worked down to the end of the fast water. Trotted flake and fed mashed bread. Chub were obliging, and we both caught some nice fish to just over four pounds. Most swims seemed to hold a fish or two with the deep marginal runs the most productive and easiest to fish in quite a brisk downstream wind.
Looks a good bet for a barbel or two and a return trip in search of Barbus will be on the agenda very soon.
