Great day on the Wye with this my favourite beat. Slow going but fish taken in a variety of swims between the church and upper reaches. Best barbel was 10lb 14oz and would have been heavier as it was slightly hollow. Best barbel from this beat in 4 seasons of coming here. Spoke to the other angler D on the beat and had a lovely chat, so tight lines for the rest of the week. River still fairly low but all the fish were well rested before release.

6 Barbel, 6 Chub

A pleasant afternoon/evening session. Changed tactics a few times to get the fish which paid off. Pellet and meat both successful. Buzzards, kingfishers and little egret.
Nice to have a chat with the other angler on the beat.

Good day on the creel, S and A sharing the fish between them. Really enjoyed the fishing his year despite the difficult conditions, many thanks to wye and usk for making such good water available.

S had the best day 10 barbel to 8lbs and a chub of 4.8lbs. As with most of the beats low and clear conditions made fishing difficult. Please be aware but dispite the last field being used for camping all summer the local farmer takes a dim view of walking 70 yards from the river bank to access the road with our tackle. As the two anglers were 67 years old it seems the farmers attitude to walking in and out the gate was a little extreme.

Booking Office Note : Landowners have every right to take a dim view if access instructions are being ignored. Fisheries can be (and have been) withdrawn from the Passport scheme when anglers have not adhered to the instructions given. This is something WUF and anglers want to avoid.

There are fisheries where riverside parking is allowed and some where vehicles can be driven the length of the beat. Anglers are advised to call the Booking Office for advice.
