Didn't fish well ... was a struggle all day. This is a fantastic beat however. Look forward to returning again asap.

A great beat well maintained by Colin and a pleasure to fish.

First time I've fished this river and I was pleased with everything. Colin the baliff (gilly) was a godsend on his own a lovely man who can and will put you on the hot spots. I had a brilliant time. Most swims are easy accessible. I'll be back thank you. P.s. river average level and I fished using a swim feeder.

Many thanks to Colin and Woody for their advice on where to find the barbel.

Our last day and it's another warm one but with a little more cloud cover,good days fishing with K catching 4 Barbel and 9 Chub, P with 3 Barbel and 8 Chub and myself with 10 Barbel to 8.14 and 2 Chub all on the usual groundbait and pellet. All in all a pleasure to fish this beat, well done to Colin and the Wye and Usk for their efforts and help.

Arrived 7.30 A.M. A and son J went round the bend ? and I settled on the croy I'd fished yesterday, I caught 3 small Chub fairly quickly then as before once the sun got up bites stopped. I took a walk to see A and J and the lad was again showing dad up with a couple of Barbel and some Chub, again bites increased once the sun got lower and J finished with 3 Barbel to 7lbs and 16 Chub A failed to get a Barbel but had 12 Chub to 4lbs, I added another 6 Chub to 3lbs from the croy.It was nice to meet Colin the bailiff who gave us a few tips whilst strimming the swims, this beat is easily the best I've fished for ease of access and is maintained in excellent condition.Method used today as yesterday, groundbait feeder with various pellet hookbaits up to 11mm.

Arrived at the river at 7.30AM.Weather bright and clear and the river low. We opted to fish from the croys in the middle of the beat and P had a Chub fairly quickly,I started fishing just after 9 A.m.and caught a Chub about two and half pounds first cast then with the sun up a long biteless period followed for all of us. During the afternoon I moved downstream past the bend and with the sun behind the trees started to get bites that resulted in 3 Barbel to 7lbs and 6 Chub to 5lbs, around 6PM I lost my hook length on a fish I couldn't stop so returned to the croy I started at and added two more Chub and a Barbel. P had two more Chub and K one Chub. I think the higher light values through the middle of the beat was a factor, packed up at 7PM.
