This is my current favourite stretch of the Wye but it was very tough going with water levels dropping and the river clarity rising. Lots of debris also meant a fair amount.nt of lost tackle in areas I've fished before without too much issue. Both barbel came late in the afternoon from the middle field and the other was a 6oz dace that somehow managed to take a 12mm pellet!
As ever the birdlife was amazing.

The river had dropped around two metres in 24 hours having burst it's banks. Three anglers fished and one caught three Barbel up to 8lb on pellet. Another caught one eel. The river was still roaring through when we left at 5.30 pm.

Tough day today, fishing was slow but we had a barbel each which made it worth while. We fished the good looking pegs in rotation but the fish didn’t seem to be feeding. The water was cold and the river coloured up while we was there. The barbel were a good size , one 9lb 11 and the other 7lb 15, both our wye PBs.

On arrival the river had an extra meter on. Trotted maggots for a couple of hours which resulted in 2 barbel.
Then changed to bottom fishing for the other 3. A hard days fishing on this beat.
Access to this beat is very dangerous.

Fishing Passport Note : In the early part of 2025, 20 new steps were incorporated in to the path leading down to the fishery making access much easier than before.
