Lovely sunny day with minimal canoe traffic. Annoyed as I forgot my scales never done that before.
Managed three barbel best one between 10 - 11lb but nearer 11lb I’m sure, had a few 10’s from hear and this was bigger and gave a fantastic brawl.

Just a morning stint as we had end our weekend of fishing to get home. We firstly fished the wood swims which are challenging but appealing then the main meadow swims. Both didn't produce fish between 7am and midday. We bumped into the other 4 fisherman on the beat. This beat cannot support 6 people. There are not enough swims. I am aware some good double figure Barbel are caught here but I would choose another beat going forward with less rods on the beat.

River very low and clear, 6 angler on this section so not a lot of scope for moving about, 1 Barbel caught in the afternoon at 8lb 4oz. had to wait for other anglers to pack up before moving. A disappointing days fishing

Another glorious late Autumn day and another day on a low and clear river. Travelling back to our accommodation we were concerned to see that cars were still parked on the venue at 10.00pm on the night before our visit. Either poaching or anglers flouting the 'one hour after dusk' rule. Fears compounded when we were faced with anglers rubbish on the pipe peg, discarded food packaging and drinks cans. So probably poachers! Anyway, the fishing proved very difficult and although we managed 8 barbel bewteen us to 8lb 12oz it was far less productive than on previous visits. Swims well trampled and scattered dropped bait testament to the pressure this stretch now receives. Still a very enjoyable day and the beautiful Wye.

Unseasonably hot day, fishing steady all day with all fish on pellet and meat. Good barbel of 10lb the highlight of the day. All fish in excellent condition as always.

had one small barbel in the morning and that was it for the day . fished the legg meadow but didnt get any
action for the rest of the day. we ought to have been a bit more mobile and moved around a bit but for one reason or another we stuck it out in one swim and hoped the evening would bring the bites. it didnt . but thats fishing. lovely place to fish .

Fished the meadow, had 4 barbel, 10lb 4oz, 9lb 14oz, 9lb 14oz and 6lb. Two good sized chub as well. River seemed in good condition with plenty of large looking pike seen chasing fry out in front of me all day long. Should have packed the lure rod too! King fishers, buzzards and tree creepers were seen regularly and definitely outnumbered the canoes today! Fish came to simple Pellet and small PVA bag tactics fished in the faster water mid stream. Nice to meet Don the bailiff who was very friendly and helpful. A lovely beat, the only improvement as mentioned in the report below would be a little more room for parking if more than a couple of anglers are booked on.
