Great day, we all caught. I banked 13 barbel from one swim at the lower end of the fishery but another 8 fish slipped the hook. My fishing partners had 14 fish from the top end. All fish in the 6 - 8lb range with one very large double, all to a variety of pellets.

Highly enjoyable day on an interesting beat. I fished the lower section and did find the access a bit tricky in places but the swims were worth the effort. I finished the day with a new Wye pb Barbel of 8.14 and some nice chub to just over 4lb. I'm looking forward to coming back for some serious chubbing in the winter. Many thanks to the young lady in the office for helping me out when I got lost.
Also thanks to the two chatty Yorkshire-men who set up opposite me and kept me entertained with a running commentary of every cast, bait change, rig change and missed bite.

A perfect overcast but mild day to be by the river. Lots of kingfishers, herons, and other wildlife to keep you entertained between bites. A few canoes throughout the day but all very polite and courteous to us as anglers. There were a few anglers on the other side of the river at the upstream end of the fishery. They were fishing towards the opposite side but didn't cause a problem and easy to slot in between. Many of the swims at this end were overgrown but I personally preferred the swims along the downstream end with more depth and flow along the near margin. It was quite difficult fishing even though the conditions looked perfect with a rising river after some rain. However the barbel that we caught were scale perfect and fought like demons in the strong flow. One was only about 8oz (a sign of good things to come) but the others were 5lb and 8lb. All caught on hair-rigged pellet.

Lovely stretch but difficult choosing a peg because ya can't seem to get on the east water, struggled but one barbel of 9lb was caught plus chub and eels. Baits used were meat and pellets. The wildlife on display was fantastic in beautiful scenery.

This was my second visit to this beat. Unfortunately it didn't match the first time I fished here but I did manage to pull 3 good sized barbel out, all 3 about 7lb. I still enjoyed the fishing here and will be back again.
