Beautiful day on my favourite stretch which I have visited several times this season. Made to work for the fish this time though, a drop in the water temp and bright sunshine meant that I had to wait 8 hours for my first bite. Kept mobile and prebaiting the likely swims eventually paid off. Fish fell to pellet and feeder tactics. Getting buzzed by an RAF Tornado at a couple of hundred feet above the trees was a special treat as well!

Tried this beat for the first time - good parking and easy walk to the river. Weather and river conditions looked good but fishing hard and no action until close to dark when I had two barbel and my friend had a chub. That's fishing for you, but we both enjoyed this beat and would try it again.

First time on this stretch, very impressed. Low water but managed to find a few fish. Would fish this stretch again.

Having somewhat struggled previous day on upstream beat at Foy Bridge we were optimistic that Saturday was going to be different and decided to go all out for the Barbel today. Fished most swims along this beat before settling into swims by island for final three hours. Really struggled for bites but hey that's fishing and would in no way put me off booking this beat again. As yesterday plenty of Salmon activity in faster flow by Island swims. Chub fell to rolling meat tactic in faster water.

Another great day on the majestic River Wye.

This was definitely a game of two halves. we fished all day through to 4 pm with just two chub to around 4lb to show for our efforts . then between 4 pm and 7 pm we caught 14 barbel all of the 5-8 lb stamp plus a chub to 6lb. all on pellet/feeder tactics. Conditions were not ideal, water low, clear and blazing sunshine with swans practicing their take off and landing technique but on the plus side, no canoes! ....but if we hadn't caught the barbel it would still have been a great day out. Will be back.

Another lovely day fishing with plenty of fish all which fell to feeder and pellet tactics , did have a dabble with the float but no go. All of the fish were in pristine condition and fought hard, as said a lovely days fishing in beautiful surroundings!!!! Just one question.... Why are we not allowed access to the footpath from the carpark??? Perhaps somebody from the WUF could shed some light please.....

Lovely piece of water this, bank opposite the island has lots of good looking barbel areas and upstream and downstream of this is deeper and slower so better for higher water.
Colour dropped out of the river overnight and day was brilliant sunshine, so not condusive to fishing and an early departure too meant not being able to stay the last few hours. So no fish caught.... However access was good, easy walk across the fields (no Caravans!) and would certainly visit this beat again.
