Great to be back on the Wye and another lovely beat, a day more suited to sunbathing than fishing but it beats working! 11 Barbel to 9lb 12oz and 3 Chub. The Barbel really started feeding as the sun went down, unfortunately we had to leave to check in to our B&B in time for dinner. Great day thanks W&UF!

Note to WUF: Would it be possible to add postcodes to the dayticket documents as some of these beats are very tricky to find?

Just chub, no barbel.

Flow quite fast on day 1. Water coloured. A few nice chub (5) to 5lb. One barbel 6lb 4oz. Next day water lower and slower with less activity. Just the two chub. A few lost fish. Lovely stretch and enjoyed it.

3 Barbel to just over 8lbs, only bites of the day.

First time on the Wye. Lovely beat, rising river, very brown and fast, lots of logs and debris coming down.
Managed to find slack water below snags.
Total - six barbel to 8lb, one chub.
Fantastic place in spite of the horrendous weather.

8 barbel, 2 at 6lb 14oz, 6lb 8oz, 6lb 1oz, and the other 4 inbetween 5 - 6lb. Had 2 bonus chub thrown in. River rising considerably and well coloured with weed and logs coming down. Love this beat and will return again. Thanks WUF.

A slow start to the day with one barbel lost. The river was rising fast with logs and weed making some swims difficult, as did the group of 20 or so cygnets that insisted on going through my lines every five minutes or so. They were in front of me when I had a take, interesting to play a barbel with some irate birds playing knit one, pearl one around your line. I ended the day with 4 barbel to 6 lb 14 oz.

The River had coloured up and risen over the previous afternoon and night. The usual productive swims on this beat failed to produce to any great extent, I do not know why?? 1 barbel to 4lb and 2 large chub all to pettel & corn.

On arrival to the river it was evident that the recent rainfall had raised the level and colour to which we thought we would have a good Day. We fished a variety of pegs throughout the stretch with a total of 8 barbel and 5 Chub caught between the 4 of us. Great Days fishing with some excellent pegs, would recommend this stretch to any keen course angler.

6 chub & 3 eels between 3 rods with one rod taking 1 chub, 1 rod catching 5 chub to 5lb and one rod the three eels. All on meat despite trying multiple swims and multiple baits / methods.
