Feedback & Reports

Arrived at 6am, disappointed with lack of detail with regards to parking. Started fishing for the barbel, plenty of chub bites but nothing landed. 45 mins heavy downpour and the river rose over 6 inch in 30 mins so packed up at 12 and drove home due to the weather. Lovely stretch though and will definitely return

We had a great day on the Wye again but fishing was slow. The river looked good but unfortunately the barbel would not play so chub were the only fish caught despite trying a few swims. We fished until dark but it made no difference. Still a great venue and after all it is called fishing not catching. Thanks Wye Usk will be back. MH Standish.

Beautiful spot easy to access, and plenty of swims to choose from. Most swims very pacey and you do have a private club fishing the opposite back, but they seem very friendly. Lots of good chub bites came all day from all the swims I fished. Just be warned, parking is very limited as you can't park in the middle car parking area due to the field full of cows so only 1 parking space at the bottom end of the beat.

First time on this beautiful beat. Walked the length and chose an area to target that looked good for the conditions, up about one foot.
We fished on groundbait feeder and pellet and got plenty of chub action with the occasional barbel appearance. The chub really did scrap hard today too. Best barbel was weighed and it went 9lb 2oz. Wildlife today included kingfisher, buzzard, mandarin duck with chicks, reed bunting, sparrowhawk, long tailed tits, heron to name a few. Plenty of swims to go at here and all well strimmed so access is good along the bank.

A few fish at the start of the day, then 5 foot of rising flood water made things difficult!

Lovely day on this picturesque beat, despite heavy driving rain in the morning. Moved around a lot and managed fish in several swims. Had 5 small barbel and one very small barbel and plenty of chub. Thanks WUF for a really good day.

A good day’s fishing. The river keeper maintains the swims appropriately; without over manicuring the bankside, and keeping faith to the natural surroundings of the Wye. Fish came to the usual swim feeder tactics.

After the previous day on the Creel stretch, it was never going to be as good. It was difficult fishing and managed one or two fish on a stretch I particularly enjoy fishing. It's worth noting there is no access to the parking at the top of the field now.

Access good. Well defined swims. Fairly shallow stretch. Got rained off by thunderstorms so didn't give the fishery enough time to do it full justice.
