River high and coloured, though falling. Weather mild but not too bright. Seemed perfect, but despite trying three swims could catch only chub until 7.30 pm when the barbel eventually came on to feed in my right bank swim not far from bridge. Large tackle-robbing snag in swim opposite!

3 Barbel, 5 Chub

Only fished for a hour as had to go home.

Fished for a couple of hours in the evening with pellets. River low but carrying a little colour.

Having fished this small stretch twice before I fancied a few but now the river was low and this is a shallow beat with no depth, very windy and rainy so didn't float fish, I had a solitary Chub on pellet and CH blanked. Looking forward to a return in September.

Highly enjoyable day on this beat.Conditions were tricky with the river very low and clear. I spent the bulk of my session on a swim half way down on the left bank. After some experimentation I had to scale down to get bites and caught most of my fish on banded 6mm pellet fished on a short hook-length and groundbait feeder. Lovely to see a couple of sub 1lb Barbel in my catch, very promising for the future.
For future reference I lost some rigs to a couple of snags, one straight across about 2/3rds of the way and another about 30yd down stream and about 1/2 way over.

Beautiful beat, very low and clear however. Perhaps could do with a touch of rain! Saying that it was an interesting session. I caught 8 chub and one small Barbel on last swim on left bank at the end of the Rapids. And then 2 more Chub from the first swim next to the bridge. My dad had one chub from a middle swim and hooked into what was a nice Barbel! But lost it...fish activity really picked up here at the usual 5pm onwards, being so shallow the Barbel were waiting until less light was present. Would come back here again for sure!

Lovely stretch with good access. The day started well with 2 chub and a barbel, with a bite a cast. All went rapidly downhill when I returned to the car for my camera to find the front passenger window smashed and the sat nav stolen. Thankfully the thieves ignored the expensive camera kit!

First time fishing on a Wye & Usk Foundation water. Simply stunning. Fishing was hard, river low and clear, hot and very sunny day. Still some great sport with barbel on 8mm pellet and chub on the pellet and float fished bread.
