Beautiful location and good access to the river. Some of the beat is camping and caravan site and fished by some of the campers, so this part not so available.

Fished The Creel stretch for the first time, but it won't be the last! A delightful stretch of river in a beautiful setting. Fishing was hard work due to huge rafts of floating weed coming down the river. But after finding an area where I could present a bait I was rewarded with 9 barbel and 3 chub. Looking forward to a return visit.

All fish came to feeder and pellets of various flavours with crab or cheesy garlic favourites!!! River had very little flow and the big clumps of weed coming through made fishing awkward at times. It was still another lovely days fishing on the Wye. Biggest barbel was over 7lb and the biggest chub over 4lb.

Plenty of chub to start with and barbel in the evening all on pellets near the island in the fast water. Nice beat, will book later in the season. Many thanks.

14 Barbel to 10lb, 9 Chub to 6lb. All caught on halibut pellets or meat with feeder. Probably would have caught more if it was not for continual canoeists coming down the river in groups preventing fishing. Great days fishing anyway.

This is an eye-watering beautiful stretch with so many fishy-looking places it was hard to know where to start. I had a 4lb barbel first cast which got my hopes up, but sadly the rest of the day was a bit of a struggle. I tried a few swims and had a few small chub, 3 eels (including one 2.5lb+), and the smallest barbel I've ever seen (about half a pound). I didn't try the bottom field, as it was full of caravans (and will be all summer apparently). One of the caravaners was under the impression that he could fish all along the stretch.
A wonderful stretch and I'm sure I'll be back.

Fishing difficult due to large amount of weed. Not many swims cut.

Fished an evening session and bagged 5 chub. River is looking low and needs some rain. Nice beat which I would fish again.

Be prepared to take a walk on the wild side, the path to the beat is chest high with vegetation, not wishing to trample the crops I ploughed through it and was soaking wet by the time I reached the bank (be warned). Not much flow despite recent showers. Two good size Barbel early on in the slow water and some Chub furher down where the flow speeds up past the Island. The walk down to the beat would put me off booking again. I understand there is a footpath behind the church, could we not use that?

Fished lower beat in fast water opposite Island but it could not get a bite on luncheon meat or pellet from early a.m.to late a.m. I think I need another crack at this venue looking at recent catches on trotted bread flake in slower water on other side of the river..
