Be prepared to take a walk on the wild side, the path to the beat is chest high with vegetation, not wishing to trample the crops I ploughed through it and was soaking wet by the time I reached the bank (be warned). Not much flow despite recent showers. Two good size Barbel early on in the slow water and some Chub furher down where the flow speeds up past the Island. The walk down to the beat would put me off booking again. I understand there is a footpath behind the church, could we not use that?

Fished lower beat in fast water opposite Island but it could not get a bite on luncheon meat or pellet from early a.m.to late a.m. I think I need another crack at this venue looking at recent catches on trotted bread flake in slower water on other side of the river..

Started off trotting luncheon through fast water by the side of the island and had three chub in half hour all about 3lb. Then the canoes came, one after the other for 5 hours so switched to feeder and picked up 5 more with the biggest two 5lb. Moved to top of beat for last knocks and picked up a lovely barbel nudging 10lb. Lovely beat if you can tolerate the canoes and the huge amount of weed that follows them. Saw a few huge carp in the slower water late on. Also two eels the one about 3lb, the other about 1.5lb.

A very pleasant hot, sunny day and a low river so fishing was slow. Fished with trout pellets, sweet corn and luncheon meat. Not many bites but a very enjoyable day all the same.

Superb stretch with easy access and many fishable areas! Sadly we picked the wrong day with BG scoring 2 chub, and myself a blank. However we will definitely try the Creel again and would heartily recommmend this beat.

10 Barbel, 14 Chub and 1 Eel on pellet and meat. Caught in the fast water by the island and in the slow water in the top field.

Early morning visit and had 2 barbel both 5lb range in the first hour. Returned after lunch for the afternoon/ evening session, fished a different swim and had 7 chub all in the 3lb range.

Short evening session. Water low and clear. Lost a fish on ledgered luncheon meat when it shed the hook in a snag. Finally saved the day with a good chub by free lining luncheon meat through the weedier section near top of the stretch.

Another great day on the majestic River Wye. Difficult conditions in the afternoon - very hot and the river quite low, but caught a couple of Barbel on Pellet and 4 Chub from different swims.

Slow during the day, and tried several swims by the island, but eventually had 3 chub to 3lb free lining luncheon in weed downstream from faster water at top of the beat. Late evening the barbel came on to pellet. Size was good at 6lb and 7lb 8oz.
