Feedback & Reports

We had 5 Barbel to 8.75lb and 12 chub to 5lb and an eel. We fished in the weir pool section which has a flat stoney beach type area of about 40m wide. The weather was warm and sunny with little wind and river had moderate to slow flow. The fish mostly came from the far left upstream section about 10 feet out towards the far wall. Took everything on a hair rigged 12mm halibut pellet with a 3oz open ended feeder. If you have a 4x4 you can drive right up to this section of the river otherwise its a fair walk. If we return to the Wye will would 100% go back to this beat.

Only fished the Morning as conditions were difficult, being hot and sunny. Bites very hard to come by even though river had fined down beautifully after heavy rain earlier in week. Fish taken on meat and pellets.

A beautiful stretch of water. Only 2 of us made it but good access for 4x4 Very hot and water low, fished better early and late when the sun was off the water and meat proved best bait. First time on this section, we will be back. Far bank very busy with sightseers.

I’ve always wanted to fish this beat but never got round to it , finally here !
Great access to the river and parking , probably one of the most picturesque venues on the river wye .
Fished from 2pm till 10 with bites becoming more frequent into the evening as you’d expect , an absolute joy fishing here can’t wait to come back .
Thanks WUF for making places like this available to us anglers

A lovely day on a very coloured and fast flowing wye.the fishing was hard as we only float fish.but both of us caught a barbel and a few Chubb on pellet. Thank you to the landowner for strimming several swims giving us a reasonable choice for a wye and usk

Could not get a bite on pellets changed to meat that did the job. Good to be back on the Wye thanks WUF.

Excellent day, 17 chub, best 6lb 4oz, at least 8 fish were around 6lb. Pellet and luncheon meat. Sadly no Barbel for me today..
Nice touch by the land owners to visit for a chat and make us welcome. Can't wait for our next visit to the Wye..

The river was up an estimated four feet and pushing through. We fished mainly pellet and had one Barbel and seven Chub. It was a great day and we love this beat. The scenery is superb and it is a privilege to fish this beat on opening day (two years running). The owner came down to say hello and for once we did not see a single canoe! Can't wait to get back. Thank you Wye and Usk.
