Feedback & Reports

River was very low and in need of the rain that came the days after. Locating the barbel was fairly difficult but we managed one each and several chub. One chub was over 6lb and resulted in a PB. Barbel were 8.5lb and 9lb. Used to seeing more small barbel (3-5lb)and often have over 5 in a day on the wye but I should think they were in deeper areas and waiting for a bit of colour/flow back in the water. Quality of the fish was amazing as always. Lots of canoes but traffic decreased around dinner time and fishing switched on more.

First visit to this beat in the 9 years we've been coming. More than enough good swims, especially at low water levels with a nice beach area. Plenty of fun with the chub on pellet feeder tactics, large and small up to 4lb. Two lost fish which might have been barbel but some of the chub bites were so unusually savage that they too might have been chub.
But beware this is a VERY snaggy beat, one of the most expensive we've tried!

Really nice beat with great access and well cut swims, fishing wasn't the best partly due to low river level and recent heat.
I waded most of the day and caught 35-40 small dace and chub, lost a good barbel at the net as well. SM visited quite a few swims and caught 2 nice chub for his efforts all the fish came from the weir area.
