Very long beat but all good with car. Fishing was great however around the bridge there were many noisy families even one family launching two dinghy’s meters from swim we were fishing. So advice is to avoid school holidays.

Fished the beach from 12-7pm river in great condition but bites were slow with only 5 chub falling to meat and pellet on feeder. Very bright conditions which may have played a part but river looked in great condition.

One note the gate entering into the bottom field needs looking at the post supporting the hinges also supports the corner of all the boundary cables for that field and when opening the post falls out the hole. Wouldn't want to be responsible for live stock on the loose because of this so admin worth mentioning to the farmer.

Had a couple of hours rolling meat through a couple of swims. Not much interest but picked up a lovely chub of about 5lb towards the end of the session to top the day off. Many thanks.

A couple of hours rolling meat through a few swims. Had one lovely chub of about 4lb to make the day worthwhile.

Had a short session, not ideal conditions due to lots of rain last few days/also on the day itself. Fished for first time ever. Eventually found the fish, managed to catch 2 chub before my session had to end. Caught a 3.5lb Chub followed by a 1lb chub.

The river was rising with a lot of debris coming down , so made fishing difficult . I was disappointed with my first Wye and Usk passport , website made it sound like it would be exclusive to anglers and said we were not allowed to visit the water until the day we booked , but on our day the whole area was full of dog walkers hikers , picnickers, cyclists even launching a home made sail boat in the swim we were fishing, kids swimming and shouting where we were fishing and lots of the beat completely unfishable due to lack of pegs 45 is not cheap for me and was meant to be a treat and father and son time but was noisy and anything but peaceful , really disappointing.

Overcast and cooler conditions suggested a better day than we had. Although in our defence an unscheduled trip to Hereford eye casualty did make it a truncated day. Both fish to Ian on boillies over pellets from the same swim the fish came from last week, with the barbel going 7.08 so one happy chappy at least. A beautiful beat but one I am yet to come to terms with!

Fished the beach on the float, meat and pellet. Only fished the morning due to weather being very hot which in turn brought
out every body to enjoy the river. Would not pick Sunday and school holiday time if I knew that this spot is where all the locals use it for swimming and sun bathing.
But had a good morning, barbel to 6lb and just under the 8lb on the float, most of the chub 3-4lb great sport
