This is a beautiful stretch of river which sadly is not even a shadow of its former self.
I walked the entire length of it this morning looking for fishable swims and could only find two that were recognisable.
I don’t see how it would accommodate four anglers in its current state. So be aware of this if you are thinking of booking it as a group.
It goes without saying that I didn’t fish here today and will not do so tomorrow either.
Wye and Usk: this beat could be so much better. It is certainly not value for money in its current state.

Fishing has been challenging today, very little going on.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Sunday day barbel between 5lb to 8lb chub all around 5lb mark. Shame the swims on the lower part of the stretch haven’t been up kept

Hard fishing on a hot day. Bites were few and far between. A few barbel ( biggest nudging 7lb) and a small chub. Standard ledger tactics with a variety of baits.
Lots of canoeists, the majority were polite and considerate. A couple not quite so.
Hopefully tomorrow brings some more action

Having fished well on Tuesday and Wednesday things were more difficult today. Probably the warmest day of the week so far with more sun than cloud.

We both had a great day on this fantastic part of the Wye ,a slight rise in river levels overnight made conditions ideal ,fished towards the top end of the beat from early afternoon onwards, occasional fish to start with but towards late afternoon the fishing improved ,fished with swimfeeders and 8 mm pellet hookbait ,lots of hemp and 4 mm pellets in feeder.Most of the Barbel were around 6-8 lbs with a few going up to around 9 lbs. Looking forward to returning to this beat. Worth noting the fact that I fished the same peg around a month ago and only caught 1 Barbel all day.
