Lovely stretch. Caught 1 WBT on dry fly. I was using a Tenkara rod. No real problems wwith trees. Be careful wading after the Old tree bridge as water is very deep.

Fished with A J, arrived early, starting on Bridge Pool Area, these are accesible swims but require extending landing net pole to net fish. Both caught a few barbel and chub. Very quiet between 1100 and 1630 so had a good walk, not many obvious pegs so exploring and imagination required. Found a fishy spot that probably has never been tried and located a good shoal of Barbel late afternoon. Between us we caugh 34 Barbel and 5 chub.
Lovely strecth with secure parking. Pellet feeder was the order of the day. Enjoyed watching a Mink Hunt on the far bank. Thanks Wye and Usk.

A lovely day on the river. First time on a new stretch which is a brilliant stretch of river. Both rods caught barbel and chub and we will deinately be back for another session. Thanks WUF!

Very small trout only - nothing that could be kept, on pheasant tail nymph.

9 barbel and 8 chub to 7lb and 4lb respectively with the river now low and clear. Fish caught from a variety of swims alomg the beat.

River running quite high and fast and carrying some colour, it was very windy so no fish rising, we caught one small wbt and one fingerling grayling on nymphs.

We chose two swims on the left bank where the fast water met with back eddys. J A had an early 2lb chub and 1lb plus eel on meat and after lunch A L had a 6lb 12oz Barbel and two 3lb plus chub on single elipse pellet.

A much harder day than I have been used to on the Wye. Two anglers managed one barbel each plus chub and one managed five barbel. All of the fish were between 5 and 7 lb and were caught on pellet.

A fantastic day for our first visit to this absolutely unbelievable river. Carrying a little colour and up a foot from Monday, we took over 30 barbel to double figures. Mainly thanks to Don's advice on location, we targeted great pegs. A range of tactics worked. Pellet in various forms produced steady bites all day. The fish love to be fed. We will return again to this wonderful beat. WUF rule!

This beat is a dream if you like fast water fishing for Barbel, Chub and Dace. The cribs produced good mixed bags. Again Don's advice was spot on. I think we benefitted from this beat being lightly fished to date due to the floods. Best rod took 21 barbel fishing morning and evening session. Some baby barbel as rare as doubles were a real treat. My favourite beat of the week. Again a dream location and a must on our return next year!
