Good day most of the fish in one area and most of the barbel under 12oz! Never seen so many small barbel on the Wye from all sections. Are they showing because the bigger fish weren't feeding? Thanks wuf.

All fairly small fish, but a barbel bite is a barbel bite. A pleasant day out.

Difficult day as could not find the fish despite trying several swims. Only hook up was an eel which fortunately dropped off at the net .

Lots of river to fish but only caught in 2 swims. Beautiful surroundings easy access, will return here for another crack at it, enjoyed our day.

EPR and I love this beat. Stunning scenery and wildlife, as well as great fishing. When we have spoken to the farm owners they are very polite and helpful. The dog ate a lot of EPR pellets and bollies whist he was playing a barbel which was entertaining!
The circling buzzards is always a highlight as is the stunning scenery.
The river was rising and slightly coloured. We couldn't hold bottom with a 60g feeder over half way. There was quite a lot of rubbish coming down the river throughout the day.
EPR had a stunning day after yesterday's misery (see Sugwas Court review) with an award winning 12 barbel and 1 chub. He would have caught plenty more but for his arrogance and need for cider, which demanded we left before dusk. I caught 4 barbel and three chub.
Thank you WUF. We shall be back next year.

Parked at the farm behind the gate as look to steep and muddy for our little van (short walk). Lovely looking place, there is a noisy pump in the middle of the beat though didn't run all day. Good conditions we caught 5 eels in this area on meat, did a lot of walking and covered whole beat. Plenty of places to fish if you clear swims in the downstream area.

First trip on this beat and was very happy with the water available. Very hot and bright with 2 fish coming between 6:30 and 7:00 am with the rest in the evening. 12 Barbel and one Chubb all caught on pellet.
It would be nice to see the riverside path cut back as it becomes overgrown and impassable after about 100 meters and there looks to be some lovely swims if it was cut back. This aside having walked only the section from the parking to the down stream limit there is more water easily available than can be fished in a day.
Huge thanks to Wye and Usk as this is a fantastic beat and a pleasure to fish.
