Great day on this lovely beat. Loads of big chub - several in 5lb bracket for DC the chub king. Most chub and one barbel came from a swim near to the top of the beat about 100 yards below the Croy. Mix of baits/methods took fish but most to trotted luncheon meat or cheese. River was very low and it was hot so great day of fishing given the weather was probably not perfect.

Day started slowly but we worked a couple of swims and fished them in rotation. The fishing slowly improved throughout the day due to continued feeding. All fish were taken on trotting tactics. Most chub 3-5lb and barbel 5 to over 8lb. Cracking fights on float gear.

Plenty of obliging chub up to 3.5 pounds. Fished close to the upstream limit of the beat in a deeper pool just above the riffle. Luncheon meat took most of the fish

Had a great day on this stretch. First visit and I will definitely return. The swims were easily accessible and in good order. Took fish from 5th and 6th swim on feeder tactics with trimmed cheese and garlic boilies. Lost 2 decent fish. Lovely surroundings and had the pleasure of seeing a couple of Salmon jumping

First cast nice chub over 4lb, thought this was the start of a great day to come but only knocks and touches after that, despite and overcast day and seemingly good conditions.
Regardless of the catch a great day and a well looked after beat. Pegs strummed to make access and fishing easy. Not a big job to do but a great thing to have done. Thank you for however took the time as I will be back on here gain to try for more.

A great day was lucky with the rain on the previous few days had put a few inches on and had coloured the river up nicely , started on the float and had 8 chub and a Barbel of 4lb. Rest fell to ledgering approach thru the rest of the day. Great stretch. Met the angler who was on next day , passed on my experience of the stretch on hope they have a good day ????
Great start to the season and lovely to be back on the Wye
