Feedback & Reports

Only one small pike to show for my efforts, nice to be back on the Wye though.

1 Pike

Fishing for pike & perch on dead-baits and lures. A number of swims tried, 1 pike to a lure around 9lbs. River level ok, condition good, could do with a touch of colour. Thanks to WUF for venues such as this one and for the booking system.

2 chub, still no barbel.

Dead baiting & lures for pike. A number of slack swim's tried but no luck. Another time maybe. River in good condition, thanks WUF for the easy booking system.

Tried every swim opposite the garden with various baits but no joy. Later in the day decided a move to the lower end of the beat to find some slack might be a good idea. Good move, 3 Barbel on paste in the last hour!

Misjudged the river conditions and blanked as a result. Nice stretch and will return when conditions improve.

Tough days fishing on a lovely beat. Barbel 7lb and 8lb. Chub all three 4lb. All caught on feeder and pellet.
The farmer was busy with his cows so I had to walk. Its not that bad but it's a fair way across a muddy track.
The river was on the rise so difficult to hold bottom in the faster water.
The farmer would like a sign to be put on the fence to show where to park as people are finding it difficult.
Thanks WUF.

First ever visit to the River Wye and really enjoyed it, despite heavy rain for all of the day. The conditions made the fishing tricky with plenty of debris being washed through and picking up the lines but caught two cracking chub of 4lbs and 4 1/2lbs and will definitely be back for another go.

Arrived Sunday evening to recce the beat,without the other anglers' van in the carpark or the farmer offering a lift it would have been difficult to know where to park as there is no WUF sign.By Tuesday the colour had largely gone and the flow had gone from the water compared to 36hrs previously.My two colleagues fished on the top bend and I was below in faster water,very little activity after a few hours on the feeder so when it got brighter in the afternoon we fished float for a few hours and caught trout dace and small chub almost every cast on maggot. All the action from the bigger fish was in the last couple of hours of daylight back on feeder and pellet. Ended up with 2 barbel 8lbs and 5lbs and 5 chub
around the 3lbs mark.Lovely piece of river with comfortable pegs and good access with the pegs marked at the top of the bank with a wooden post, would have fished better with more colour in the river and a less bright day.
