River seemed a funny colour, tough going. Had a twaite shad on fly which was nice. People fishing opposite bottom peg which I have never seen before?

Very poor beat. Access is poor and not worth £30

Just one rod fished and a very enjoyable day on a somewhat battered beat.....previous posts have already highlighted some of the problems this stretch now has but this beautiful spot can still generate some good sport....I lost a Barbel on the float which was the only negative aspect of my visit and will look forward to returning next year.

Not worth fishing when the water is up on this stretch... couldn’t access the third pool and the other two were not able to hold a 6oz feeder so all in all difficult conditions.

My Wyebank session was the final day of 4 , part of the incorrectly named "Wye Barbelfest 20"; having been skunked on the 3 previous days , I was not particularly enthusiastic about the last day. With very low river levels and water gin clear my mood was not enhanced by the difficulty in locating the end of the fishery - the map is not much help and I ended up wading too deep in leaking waders and getting a double bootfull of water.
I tried a couple of croys on the float, but nothing raised. The croys have taken a real beating by the early 2020 floods.
Not overly impressed by the state of paths or croys.

With the river very low, the lowest I’ve fished it!! We weren’t expecting miracles. We managed a couple of good barbel and 3 chub all falling to meat in the witching hour. As always a joy to fish this lovely fishery.
