River still dropping with a bit of colour left in it, we baited up a number of swims and moved between them, started picking up the odd chub and barbel but s bit slow, I moved to the faster water and caught a couple of barbel and lots of chub late on.

River up and coloured so restricted to close in work under trees. 6 chub to well over 5lb from middle and bottom of beat. High spot was observing an otter at close quarters at the bottom of the stretch.

A beautiful day on the Wye which was up a couple of feet and tanking through. Fished the downstream stretch. Had to move the cows to get access to the swims which BB found traumatic. Fishing pretty hard all day, 2 eels (more trauma for BB) compensated for by a 9lb barbel. MW one chub. Access to swims good but use a bank stick as a walking stick where slippery.

One of our favourite beats. Plenty of swims to choose so we did a bit of roving around. We caught barbel from five different swims with four of them coming from where we spotted a few barbel turning out past the middle of the river.
Nice to catch some on the centrepin too today with a bit of Wallis casting which needs a little work on yet. Good fun though. Today's wildlife included more than enough swans, kingfisher busy in the margins, tawny owls out and about early evening.

Fished a double swim with my son just down stream of wood with my nephew in the next swim we all caught well on pellet. The river was dropping nicely with a bit of colour. This is a top class fishery that we were happy to return to after catching over 20 barbel and 30 chub in a day last year. This time we had 26 barbel and 29 chub on the first day and 14 barbel 32 chub on the second, you need a lot of bait to make this fish well, what a place.

We had approx 12 barbel to 10lb and approx 30 chub to 5lb. The river was in perfect condition following the previous weeks heavy rains.

Again the river still had some extra water running through it from the down pour a few days earlier, was still very much fish-able but looking at the banks the fish here see a lot of bait and pressure as they are heavily worn out. we had 2 barbel out about 8lbs each and both got snapped off a much bigger fish, soon as we hit them they went straight into the extra flowing water and then we stood no chance. Would fish this stretch again but would look to fish it when its not been fished for a few days as it seems to get booked everyday. Lots of swims available but be prepared to walk on this stretch as you get a lot of water for your money.

First time on this stretch and it was pushing through following the earlier rain and very coloured. We wandered the stretch trying to locate some fish, but to now avail. Loved the stretch and will return at some stage.
