Rained all morning which dampened spirits, recent cold weather put the fish off. Chub came to feeder and pellet on lower section

5 Chub

I picked a real “Phew what a scorcher” day to fish and was rewarded with a seemingly non-stop flow of boat traffic, with a good number of badly burnt oarsmen and women….ouch! This and the very low level of the river added up to a lot of chub between 8oz to 1lb plus a barbel around 6lb. Fished pellet on the hook and in the feeder, and moved around a lot as there were very few anglers on the beat.

Many thanks to the landowner and The Wye & Usk Foundation for a enjoyable day’s fishing. A stunning spot and will definitely return in the Autumn to more water and less boats!

Moving bait (corn) for was more effective than stationary.

Nice peaceful beat, lovely aspect. Good access and really nice fishy looking varied swims. Tried many of these with multiple tactics. Hard to locate any real numbers of fish. River was low as has been the case lately but with a brown tinge to it. Nice day but went home slightly disappointed with my efforts. I worked hard but sometimes you cant make it happen. Fished below the orchard in the main field.

Only one rod fished between 11 and 7.30 and not much caught but still an enjoyable day on this peaceful stretch....There are plenty of small fish and I caught plenty of 4 to 12 ounce Chub and a couple of good dace....Unfortunately just one proper bite produced a solitary good Chub and leaving early kept the return pretty meagre.Quite enjoyed the company of some long tailed tits in the trees above me and the boat traffic was all courteous and not too frequent so will look forward to returning.

Great looking water, looked a bit fresher and with a bit more water on than a few weeks back on our last visit to the Wye.
Fished the top end of the beat in the morning, a good Chub landed first then a barbel of 6lb 10oz two further barbel hooked and lost. A number of smaller chub landed. Most taken on sweetcorn.
The other fish was a big dace on meat.
Moved to the other end of the beat mid afternoon and caught a good number of chub up to 1lb one decent fish hocked and lost. Slightly strange day, out of practice ?
