River still dropping and losing colour. DS 1 barbel and 5 chub. DW 2 barbel and 1 chub.
Work being carried out on croys but we were fully informed by Wye and Usk and offered alternative venue. Didn't really cause us a problem as it was just some tree felling on opposite bank.

Ended up fishing another beat. thank you.

Met WUF baliff repainting salmon hut. His girlfriend was working very hard. Found some nice barbel in the faster water.

Tough day. Lost good barbel. Chub all caught on luncheon meat.

3 Chub

Hot bright sunny day with water very low so went with hope more than expectations,and this was well founded as we only managed one chub.

Great streatch of river with a lot of potential. Access very good all the way along.

Excellently manicured banks for comfortable coarse fishing. Unfortunately only one 2lb chub was caught. The weather was very misty and temperature dropped to 4 degrees centigrade mid morning. Access to the beat extremely difficult even in dry conditions driving along the edge of the field. An off road 4x4 vehicle would be best .
The bait used was halibut pellets.

This is an attractive beat with good access when dry and always looks as if it should produce a lot of barbel. We did have a flurry of activity towards the end of the day but the fish were very localised and seemingly absent from a large stretch of the water.
5 medium sized barbel and 3 chub took a liking to our pellets after a long wait.

Had not previously fished or looked at this stretch before so probably didn't have the right approach although I tried several. A very pretty well maintained stretch but the concrete banks which run for almost the whole of the stretch are not really my scene.. Fished the bottom end by the Luggs mouth (which is about the only bit without the 'construction work') but despite conditions being very similar to the previous days successful visit to The Creel had no action at all.. Fished hard but it didn't feel right at any time... A little less concrete and some nearside overhanging trees/bushes/ cover would prove to be a great improvement to an otherwise attractive fishery....!
