Fished end peg by salmon run. Caught 1 barbel.

1 Barbel

Fished wood crib from 2.30pm till 8.30pm. No bites till 7pm then 2 chub and 4 barbel in 1.5 hours.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Dozen plus on a warm and sticky day. All taken on un-weighted nymph and olive emerger. Lost several also. Beat is almost un-fishable from lower bridge to hundred yards below weir. I don't mind tight fishing but the amount of trees over this small stream is unbelievable. With good access could of been many more to hand.

12 Trout

All fish (5lb - 7.5lb) came from the deeper, upper reaches of the beat, to feeder fished pellet. Although most of the action occurred early morning / evening, bites could be bought during the day using smaller (8mm) pellets and a size 14 hook. A superb day, it's rare to fish a venue with no traffic noise whatsoever. Hats of to WUF for providing these excellent angling opportunities, long may the Organisation flourish!

We were disappointed. This beat has been very productive in the past but the barbel were few and far between. The river is very low and sluggish and though we searched hard for the barbel particularly in the faster swims if they were there they weren't inclined to feed. Let's hope there will be significant rain soon. Didn't we think we'd be asking for that after last year!

Wonderful day but no fish caught. Saw 2 rises and one Brownie that ignored my cast. Tried nymphs, Daphnia Blob, Fry Lure. No takes at all. Very hot day. 4 or 5 canoes and a heron - all well behaved! Very happy with your service and access to 3, 4, 5, 6 very easy. Thanks.

Tough day all round. Nothing caught, not even a bite. Weather conditions (hot) and low water levels made it hard going.

Very low water levels and high temperatures meant I didn't really expect to do much more than recce the stream for a future visit. Access difficult with many fallen trees and obstacles in the water. No fish larger than fingerlings seen, but the sighting of a kingfisher twice and also a heron together with stunning scenery made up for the lack of sport!

Having fished the wye for a few years now we expected to catch even though the river was VERY low and clear with bright sunshine, but we only had 1 barbel of 6lb and 1 chub both on 8mm halibut pellet.

Bright sunshine, low clear river, very few bites, lots and lots of canoes, 2 barbel and 3 chub on halibut pellet.
