The track from the parking area to the river is very steep and a bit of an obstacle course. Once we reached the river we found
just one swim that was even close to being fishable. It looked far from safe and there were two of us so we didn't even bother getting the gear out the car.
I think some real honesty regarding poor access to the river and the fact that most of the bank is very overgrown would be welcome. Advice to travel light is not enough. Allowing several hours work with a brush cutter would be better advice.
Would not book this stretch again.

Good day in tough heatwave conditions, as others have commented access is a good workout!

My first time on this lovely stretch and a cracking day. River a little high. Trotting with a centre pin all day - only fished the streamier swims at the upper end of the beat. Sausage meat and luncheon meat bait. It took me a while to suss things out - an hour or so before my first fish, but by the end of the day I had 30 chub to my hand and lost several others. Most were 2-3lbs, three fish 4lbs plus. Frustratingly no barbel, although one of the fish I lost could have been. I saw barbel turning on the surface.

Another great day on the Wye.
The steep access footpath down to the river still proves challenging but aside from that, very enjoyable.
