I fished with halibut pellets in the deep water at the top end of the beat, and caught 3 barbel. First cast at 9.30am produced a 10lb-07oz! This was followed at 14.00 by a 8lb-08oz. Just as the light was going, another beauty of 9lb-04oz rounded off a great day. All the fish in superb condition.

Day was a wash off after an evening of heavy rain. Must say it is a great looking stretch of river, so enticing that even the other two in my party (who had come all the way from Derbyshire) can't wait to return to this stretch for another chance to catch a grayling. Here's hoping that at the next attempt the Welsh contingent amongst them can show them how to fish .... Cymru Am Byth !!

Piking on top half the beat trying any likley looking holes, just one missed run, was told by a member of a shoot late in the day that most of the pike were taken from the bottom of the beat in the slacker waters?? Try there next time maybe, an enjoyable day again in the Wye valley. Thanks everyone at w&u for a great service.

Great day. Two rods caught 20 + grayling and 20+ brown trout on trotted maggot. Largest Grayling 1lb 9oz with one other similar and larger ones lost at the net. Many thanks for the opportunity to fish this stretch.

Really struggled on this occasion. No chub or barbel, one pike 12lb.

3 Barbel @ average of 6lbs each (returned).

The river was in flood, far too swollen. Went walking instead, but a lovely area.

1 x Pike 14 lbs 14 ozs, super venue, I will be back, thank you ;))

River was fairly high and pushing through quite a bit faster than on any of our previous visits. As a result we fished just into the flow on the near bank. Neil sat down on the steps in the middle of the beat. I went down to the pylon swim, but soon discovered I couldn't manage to fish it as I had planned with method feeder. I went back up to towards the middle of the beat. In the end, we both had two barbel around the seven pound mark. They certainly hung on in the current and gave a great scrap. Neil took his two (and lost a couple) on boilies. Mine were on pellet using method feeder. When I tried switch to boilie, I ended up catching a chub that was probably just a pound and a half. Gradually the rain really started to set in so we left a little early.

Wash off zero catch.
