Superb day for late october! River was at good level with a tinge of colour, clear sunny day. First peg top of the beat produced 3 fish. Moved after about 3 hours into the shade hoping the fish would respond to cover, and they did! Rest of the day none stop action! Barbel to just over 9lb and chub to 4lb! Really quiet beautiful beat.

River very high but dropping so good conditions. There was enough happening to keep us interested on this lovely stretch of the Wye.

First time on this beat and what a wonderful day it turned out to be with the barbel feeding well against a back drop of autumn trees in sunshine.
Started half way down the beat and had 8 barbel during the morning, moved up to the top of the beat in the afternoon and caught the other 2 fish. All barbel caught on ledgered PVA bags of pellet with either pellet or 12mm boilie hook bait. Best fish weighed 8lb 12ozs.
River maintaining its higher level and strong flow.
I'll definitely be making a return visit to this beat.

River looked good on arrival very scenic level and colour spot on. Swims very limited, only found three one of which needs work to use safely the two we picked were ok but slippery and wet after rain the previous day. Soon after starting had first of five barbel and two chubb, I had three, most fish about 5-6lb range. N had best fish at 7-6, and as day went on river rose 2 feet with lots of leaves and weed making holding bottom for more than 5mins impossible. The beat obviously holds a good head of barbel but needs more safe swims to fish with steps cut to flat fishing area to get the best from the venue. I would return in summer but with no more than two anglers .

The weather was a complete contrast to the day before with warm sunshine & T shirts the order of the day in mid October! Plenty of Salmon showing as the season ends but of more interest to us feeding barbel with 4 fish taken to 7lb. Pellet feeder most productive.

River looking good with reasonable flow and just a tinge of colour. Weather overcast, drizzly and cool. Most of the activity came in mid-afternoon with a solitary chub around 17.00 and nothing after that, though I fished until 18.30. Barbel up to 7-5, all on pellet or meat.
