River rising and water temp down slightly from previous few days, could only fish a couple of swims as the water was coming up so fast with loads of debris coming down

A nice 5-1 chub for Sean, river high.

River rising rapidly and hard to keep a rod in for more than 10 mins due to the amount of leaves + weed ect coming down. fish caught from several different swims mostly in the morning, alot of swims were un fishable by the afternoon apart from a near bank crease where the biggest of the day came from at 10lb 12oz

First time on this stretch. Well kept and some nice water but the constant traffic on the road near their far bank spoiled it for me. Two chub to about 5lb. Very clear for the Wye and quite low.

Not a great stretch. The video with the birdsong soundtrack somehow fails to capture the noise of the continual traffic on the opposite side. Bankside very steep and overgrown - can only get to the river in a few places, and virtually none of them have a place flat enough for a stool to sit on. Not a great day. Sorry, but I'll go elsewhere next time I'm on the Wye, unless they do something about access to the river.

After an extremely hard frost, probably the 1st of the season we new it would be difficult.
We struggled all day and had 3 chub on bread at the death.

My first visit to this beat. There were more fishable swims than other reports led me to believe, but I failed to find any feeding fish after trying several of them. The weather was fantastic for the time of year, being warm and sunny with little or no wind. Water levels had dropped back almost to pre-spate level and the river was running quite clear. Evening was always going to be the best time, but it did’t happen for me on this occasion.

Quite a tough day on this picturesque beat.
Great access and being able to drive along the beat is a bonus.
One barbel of 9.5 and a chub.

First time on this beat,would love to see what it looks like under normal river levels, the river was still up but dropping ,the banks were kamikaze after the recent floods,so had to be very careful.Arrived to a very cold foggy morning,which didn’t clear till middle of morning,worked really hard for the 4 chub,chucked the kitchen sink at them but they weren’t having any of it,but that’s fishing,will be back definitely as there looks some really good pegs over the whole stretch.
