The Fishing Passport description of this beat is misleading. There's no access to the river as written in description. The banks are very steep and heavily overgrown, it's actually quite dangerous as the growth of bushes by the bank is hiding steep slants and I actually fell twice, nearly broke my rod. Managed to fight through the bushes and other growth to 2 places, however no fish in the river spotted, casting problematic. Such a disappointment. 10 miles away a land owner by the little creek offered to try it out, the place was spotless, nicely maintained with easy and clean access, few graylings tagged. Conclusion - can't trust this website stories.

Really enjoyed my day fishing the Wye for the first time. Should have done it ages ago.

Had the whole place to myself. Arrived at 10 and walked all the pegs in bright sunshine. Decided on the Upper section as couldn't find many pegs on the lower part. River running low and some bits of foam coming down when I first stated. This quickly stopped I was glad to see. I started in the first peg where you park at and caught a 2lb 13oz chub fishing the groundbait feeder with a 8mm robin red pellet. Missed a bite straight after and then it went dead. I decided the peg was probably a bit too shallow so moved in to the last peg i could get in upstream. By which point the sun was beating down and it was hard going. Managed a another chub of around the same size before retiring to the top of the bank to listen to the cricket and sit in the shade. Had a barbel of 4lb 11oz on an 8mm krill pellet followd by a 2lb 8oz chub. Just as I thought they were getting on the feed, more horrible foam came down and the bites dried up at around 7.30pm. Packed up and went to the pub before driving back to Bath.

I have to say there was quite a lot of litter left in swims which i was surprised about. Picked it all up and took it home. What's wrong with people. Why would you do that. Can't wait to try a different section when there's more water on. Thanks Adam for all the great videos.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Both blanked

As soon as I saw the river I knew it was going to be difficult as the river was very low and clear. Plenty of fish rising in the evening but spooky and just could not get them to take my flies. Looking forward to fishing this beat again in the right conditions
