Was fishing here 7am-4pm on a sunny day. Water levels on the lower side. Nice stretch but didn't have much luck with only one small barbel from the beach section. Changed swims 5 times to try every part of the beat not to much luck. The water pump on and very loud for most of the time. Not sure who owns the opposite bank but there came 4 anglers in a van, sat all opposite myself, some fished two rods, some fished maggots which I thought was not allowed. Moved downstream only to see another lad on the opposite bank using a keepnet.

Whatever the reason, I found no fish wanting to take my bait today. I figured the barbel would be in the faster water near the car parking area. I figured wrong. A nice day, but on reflection I should have arrived earlier and moved around more.

River low and very clear. We had 6 small barbel which were mainly taken late afternoon as the sun went off the water on pellet and meat.

River in perfect condition which is more than could be said for the weather - high winds and torrential rain! The two barbel were caught by one angler late in the afternoon and three of the chub were really chublets.

Beautiful, hard to say more. Had great day apart from weather and doing an impression of the scared cat in Tom and Jerry when sliding towards the water. Raining hard and slippy but a great day. Three barbel, all over seven pounds and hard fishing but weather not ideal. Thanks WUF, great experience.

No fish unfortunately. Weather didn't help but I will return.

Extremely hot day so realistically, we didn't expect to catch any salmon, rather just enjoy the river. One chub around a pound decided to surprise us by latching on to the fly. River needs some fresh water to stir things up a little. Nice to see so much fry around the margins.

Blanked. Bright sun, low river levels. Who knows? Will probably fish better now we have had some rain.

5am start again and first barbel caught at 5.10am. 5 barbel in total caught in morning session. Came back at 5pm and and had 1 more barbel and 1 eel. Left early for the long drive home. Another great day on the Wye.
