A hot and sunny day on the Wye. Fished mainly feeder tactics and caught from many swims. No problems with canoes but dog walkers on the top section a nightmare! My fishing partner had a dog jump on him from the top of the bank knocking him off his chair and nearly in the river whilst chasing a football the owner was throwing into his swim repeatedly another dog wiped out his rod, same group, why they could not at least go up stream or down stream of his position the owners said they had no control of where the dogs went!!!! Some people!!!!! But a good day was had fishing wise. Thanks wuf.

Very hot and bright. River coloured. Luncheon meat and hemp. Saw salmon leaping, kingfishers and mink. It's a fair trek up the hill if you're carrying heavy gear. Tranquility guaranteed.

Luncheon meat and hemp. Fished past the forest. Fair walk with heavy gear. Go light.

Arrived with high hopes after a red letter day here last year. Made the very arduous trek around and back into the woods to the magic spot by the big rock. But a river level about a foot up on last year made all the difference, or maybe it was the high pressure and sunlight. Whatever the cause the outcome was only a single barbel of 7 pounds in the woods in the afternoon and then a blank evening in the lower field. Never mind, we will be back.

Yet another incredible days fishing at this beat. Lost count of the number of chub we had and caught numerous hard fight barbel with several edging close to the 10lb mark, though don't think any of them quite went into double figures. The small strength of river just below the fast water in the woods really is a cracking spot to spend the day fishing. Can't wait to come back!

River quite high but falling slowly and good colour. Weather warm, calm and bright at times but plenty of cloud. Should have been a perfect late afternoon and evening for the barbel, but they had other ideas! Had one nice fish (7-10)around 6.00 pm and waited for more but they could not be tempted. Moved to another swim for the last hour but still no joy. Disappointing, but I enjoyed watching the leaping salmon and birdlife, including a very amusing moorhen chick.

River was coloured and carrying a bit of water but dropped 3 inches while I was there. Meat and pellets accounted for the fish which came steadily throughout the day. Would have caught more if I didn't have to spend so much time tackling up after getting repeatedly snagged. A good day overall.

The river was in good condition on arrival but Saturday’s rain soon made its presence felt and the river rose rapidly forcing a move of swim. The conditions were very difficult with lots of rubbish and weed coming down with a lot of colour in the river. 7 chub between 3 and 4lb were all I could muster but given the conditions I was pleased with that. All were caught on feeder and meat or boilie.
