River conditions as sunday, but a bit more cloud. 1 angler fished trotted maggot all day from the concrete path to the right of the pump. Hooked 4 small barbel and landed 2 plus many small dace. Another fished concrete pier (croy?) to the left of the pump with pellet feeder for 1 chub, 4lb.
The 2 others fished the shingle beach further downstream on pellet/meat feeder for 4 barbel up to 3lb 8oz. Canoeists, courteous in the main!!! A very enjoyable day.

River low and clear. Weather bright and sunny. Method used stick float and maggot. Other fish caught were dace. 4 barbel hooked and lost sadly.

Water very low and clear, upstream from the entry point mostly unfishable as the accessible bank was at least 10ft above the water level. Fished the stone beach, nothing to feeder tactics but trotting maggot produced many small dace and chub plus one small barbel about 2lb. This fishery would obviously be much better with higher water levels.

Brilliant day! All fish caught trotting except a 2lb eel caught on meat. Barbel from 2lb to 7lb others consisted of small dace and chub. River low with a tinge of colour. A pleasure to fish here. Stayed at the Pilgrim Hotel, can highly recommend. Well done Wye and Usk.

Fishing poor, barbel nowhere to be seen, river very low with lots of weed coming through.

One barbel about 6lb caught at 7.00 as the light was fading.

River conditions low and morning bright sunshine. Baited various swims close to our bank with hemp and pellet and moved around without locating any fish. Fished late afternoon until dark with feeders in the deepest water we could find but did not have a bite all day. There were at least 6 anglers on the opposite bank and we only saw 1 barbel caught and one lost.

River low, walked the top section and only found one swim and had to do some clearing to fish it. It is a shame that there is a long stretch like this without a few swims prepared. Two of the others started on the float, one from the concrete path and one on the beach, only chub came out apart from bits on the float. Won't be booking this beat again.
