Great venue, well worth the £5 return taxi to the fishery. Its a walk! 8 barbel and 6 chub all caught on halibut and feeders. The water levels are very low and the sun was a nightmare. Most catches came in the morning and late evening. Best looking fishery we have fished and we have fished plenty of Wye and Usk Foundation.

Hard to find pace in water for barbel. Managed to catch just a few each on ledgered elipse pellets. Best fish of the day 8 lbs 7oz. River desperately needs additional water + may be just on end of 'spawning' due to season lateness. All fish in good condition though, with normal hard fight from Wye fish.
Pleased with the accessibility to the swims. Thanks.

6 Barbel, 5 Chub and 1 Eel on pellets and bread. Quiet day up until 4pm then I had 4 fish in 4 casts. This was followed by a family canoe party coming past. One lady apologised for spoiling the peace and quite and then joined the rest of the party on the gravel beach so the kids could have a water fight. 30 minutes of screaming and shouting and no more fish. Coincidence? I don't think so.
WUF Note: On the navigable sections of the Wye the right of access does not extend to the river bank unless there is a public right of way or if there is an emergency. Any canoeists landing on private property without emergency can be requested to move on. Many hire company boats will be required to carry markings after July 2013. Reports of transgressions by identifiable boats can be made to the navigation authority (EA) and Herefordshire Council.

Fished many a spot and only found bites in a couple of them. Fish caught were all in tip top condition.

Lovely views of otter when we arrived. Sadly, the fishing didn't match up to the early excitement. Failed spectacularly to find the barbel despite trying 10 or more swims. Caught some nice chub however with the best 5lbs 6oz.

Couple of Chub and 3 Barbel in morning - then further 7 Barbel and 1 Chub in evening. Next day had further 5 Barbel in morning until I had to pack up about 1'ish. Chub were around the 4lb mark and Barbel ranged from around 5lb to just over 9lb.

The above were all caught on pellets with the river rising. very long walk to the river but very worth it. Many thanks.

All fish on the feeder, river low and very clear, very long walk now as you can not access the beat from the top end.

A sporadic days fishing with all the fish coming in a few short bursts. A very nice day out with your mates.
Love the sign in the carpark offing a taxi service down to the river for a fiver per car. Its a bit of a walk but take only what you need and off you trot, its not a race.

WUF note - We are still in negotiations about the current parking situation and hope to get this resolved very soon.
