Didn't fish this beat , ran out of time !

Brilliant days fishing, weather was perfect and beautiful location. Chub all came on meat, and a couple of Barbel.
8mil halibut pellets for the other barbel.

due to the limited swims and 3 other anglers on beat we plumped for the only swim left by style at bottom of beat . lost lot of tackle due to lots of clinker on river bed not one bite all day ? 2 of the other anglers reported lots of tackle loss and 2 fish . never again?

Fishing Passport Note : There was only one other angler booked in that day. Please call the Booking Office if you suspect people fishing who should not be.

Great conditions and another early start with first a chub followed by 3 barbel and an eel. Canoes were a challenge as it was a BH and most very respectful

Fished Hard, probably too hard and should have applied more patience. Fantastic venue, barely saw another angler.

The swims are challenging to fish, which is just how I like it. There are plenty of manicured commercials if that's your thing!

Always good to be beside the wye but being a new beat to us it's a bit of a learning curve. Well maintained beat with very easy directions & access, and no real 'gear lugging' necessary. Being sociable we started off 2pmish at a peg below the middle of the beat which would accommodate us both. Bit of a mistake as we were on a concealed ,inside bend & every convoy of canoes came round the overhanging willows & straight into our lines.; There were a LOT of canoes ... I suppose to be expected in the holiday period. This coupled with the fact we lost all our terminal tackle every other retrieve prompted a move up to the top of the beat where the Vikings could see us in advance & most were polite & paddled to the far side. Not that it did us any good as we had only one bite just as we had decided to call it at 7pm
Anyone who's tried to unhook an eel will sympathise when I say we wish we'd left 5 minutes earlier; Anyway she swam off none the worse.
I can see that a lot of work is put into running this beat , so thank you for that & the opportunity to fish it.
We will do better next time.
