Feedback & Reports

Very wet morning, which meant I didn't move around much. Fished near pylon bend and had 3 of the barbel at the start during the heaviest of the rain. The other 2 came in the afternoon when the weather cleared up a bit. All fish caught on pellets fished with a PVA bag of pellets. Best fish was 8lb 6ozs. Also had an otter put in an appearance.

It has been 5 years since last fished this beat, still as beautiful as we remember, wont leave it so long before returning again.
Fed a few swims whilst waiting for my son to arrive and as I went to collect him from roadside car park met Glynn and the landowner who were very helpful with updated info on this beat. Managed Chub and 5lb Barbel on first 3 casts of day at the Pylon run, alas that was to be final Barbel of the day. Plenty of further sport with the Chub tough from various swims including a couple on trotting gear that were both pushing 4lb.
Despite having to check booking with Landowner, WUF were back to me within 24 hours with confirmation so do not let this put you off booking this gem of a beat. Only wished we had booked to return on 2nd day rather than trying Whitehouse.

We had a cracking day, the weather was really hot for the time of year and the river was very low and clear. Tremendous conditions for a picnic but maybe not for catching barbel. Truly delightful stretch with such promising swims. Access is the best I have ever experienced on the Wye, we were able to drive to the beat and there were steps to the river in places and footing was comparatively even. I would thoroughly recommend the beat to the more mature and/or less athletic angler, I am waiting for a knee replacement and with care, I managed. Only caught one chub, the barbel didn't 'come on' even with the evening rise which we attributed to the extreme conditions.

Fished both groins with pellet and meat. Sporadic chub with a few from the pylon hole on meat. Managed a 6lb barbel last knockings which was a relief! Lost one earlier in the day. Great day with all chub good sizes up to 4lb.
