Feedback & Reports

Arrived at 7am river was reading 1.97 metres on Lydbrook gauge and with slight colour weather was bright and sunny with the occasional shower,fished same swim as Saturday and same method and bait but fishing was a lot harder only 3 chub biggest was touching 5lb the other 2 around the 3lb mark.

3 Chub

River was in good coloured condition, 1.6mtrs and steady. I was optimistic.
I fished from the 1st upstream peg where there is a nice back eddy. Fished 3mtrs out with feeder filled with pellet groundbait and garlic flavored meat on the hair.
Had very few bites but managed to land a plump chub. Was expecting more and most anglers would have moved but I'm getting on (71) and didn't fancy the hill. Other anglers on the opposite bank didn't fare any better. Tight lines

1 Chub

A few chub caught, but other anglers on the beat reported captures of a couple of barbel each as well. Lovely stretch of water

3 barbel to 8lb, all on straight lead and meat. 16 chub mostly to meat.

3 Barbel, 14 Chub

Another lovely days fishing, three barbel and three chub.

3 Barbel, 3 Chub

Weather was bright and warm apart from a single, brief shower. Two chub (3.5lb and 6lb) taken on Sticky krill dumbbell fished on a running ledger. Hooked another but it unhooked itself in a snag. River was falling initially but rose a little towards lunchtime.

2 Chub

Took my 2 young boys fishing on the wye for the first time and managed to bag them a few. Conditions pretty bang on slightly up, falling and coloured. Barbel up to 7lb and chub to just under 5. All bites on peperami

4 Barbel, 4 Chub

All of the barbel were caught between 12.30 and 3 pm. Neither of us had a bite either before or after this window of activity.

The fish were in excellent condition the biggest weighing exactly 10 pounds.

5 Barbel

Didn't think I was going to be able to fish today as the banks and swims are very treacherous right now, some underwater still.
Did manage to get a rod out for a couple of hours though and had 2 Chub and a few missed pulls.
If you are thinking of fishing the lower end of the beat be very careful as the grounds got very soft in the parking area.

2 Chub

River down to 1.2m this morning, but still with colour. Water temp up a tad to 10.1. I had another 3 barbel today and Steve who couldn't fish yesterday had 4. Fish between 4 and 7.08. Again ground bait feeders and pellet hookbaits. By the end of the day the river was on the rise again.

7 Barbel
