Feedback & Reports

The river was in good condition but with a lot of cut weed coming down the river making fishing difficult.

A very poor day..fished from 10am til 8pm in 3 different swims not one single bite registered! Did not see any barbel activity all day. The only positive was the stunning scenery.

We were leaving today so fished from 12pm-3.30pm - not the most productive part of the day by any means.
Fished bomb and pellet again at the upper limit of the beat. Lots of tackle lost to snags which was frustrating at times.
Had to 'create' our own peg to get in where we needed to be but it was worth it in the end. I'm sure if we had been there for the evening we would have had more.
A long walk back to the car and a long drive home but 33 barbel over an evening, afternoon/evening and 3 hour session on the Sunday made for an unforgettable weekend!!!

Good water conditions but access to swims is limited. I caught one small barbel from the very last peg and the others came from the swim by the pump in the third field. All caught on pellet.

A very disappointing beat and a huge let down after early success on other beats. There is serious investment needed here in opening up the water. Either that or a serious rethink on pricing this beat. I paid for majestic scenery not majestic fishing on this beat as there are not the pegs on the beat. POOR!

7 chub caught from various swims, most coming from the faster water towards the top of the beat in the first hour. Struggled for fish the rest of the day despite trying numerous other spots. However, really nice place to spend a day despite the lack of fish.

A poor day as far as the Barbel were concerned. Couldn't locate them in any of the usual spots on this beat. River very low and lots of surface/sub surface weed coming through making life difficult. Heavy overnight rain later and early next morning made the rest of the week (on non Wye and Usk swims) much better.

River low, slow and very weedy. Did not look like a barbel stretch but what do we know. We struggled to catch after trying various methods and managed 4 chub between us. We normally catch quite well on other wye usk waters. This certainly is the most panoramic views of all the venues we have fished. Do not know if we will return to this venue but it may fish better with more flow later in year. Hill climb is horrendous, would not attempt this if you are unfit or have a heart condition. We had to have a good rest afterwards.

River very low, so fished late afternoon/evening. We caught 2 barbel and 2 chub from below the streamer weed in the first 200 yards of the venue.
