Feedback & Reports

The final day of our 5 day trip, again the river was low and clear and as on several occasions this week proved very peggy with most of the barbel coming from one swim opposite the wier gardens. Barbel to 7lb 10oz and chub to 5lb 2oz on pellets and boilies. One disappointing aspect was that again as on several occasions this week we had to clear rubbish and discarded line left by previous anglers. If people can't be bothered taking their rubbish home with them they would be better off finding a new sport as they're not wanted in ours. Once again many thanks to all at wuf for their efficient service and the valuable work they do, we'll be back!
WUF Note: We would like to support strongly the sentiments expressed about litter and discarded tackle in this catch return. Anglers must take it home with them. It is unsightly and a threat to wildlife and farm animals. There is a risk of fisheries being withdrawn from day tickets as a result.

Again first time on this beat. River was low and clear with hot clear blue skies above. Plenty of Fish in the river but just not interested in feeding. Fished approx 10am to 6pm so not ideal. If you see previous report on this stretch anglers fished well into the evening and given the conditions this is what we should have done to give a better chance of catching fish.
A beautiful stretch of river but essential to get a lift off the farmer as it's a long walk. Thanks W&U we had a lovely day in a beautiful setting.

A great afternoons sport on one of the most scenic WUF coarse fishing beats. The long (1/2 mile) walk is well worth it - just don't take a lot of gear with you!
Barbel from 4lb - 8lb, all on simple pellet and cage feeder tactics. Most chub 3 - 4lb. Plenty of bites missed and fish lost.
CT - 5 barbel, 7 chub, TH - 4 barbel, MM - 3 barbel
RD - 1 chub.
The first two anglers fished from 2.30 pm to 9.15 pm, the second pair arrived at 6.30 pm, fished to 9.30 pm. Plenty of swims here for 4 fishermen.

Excellent days fishing, the first on a river in over thirty years. Fished early and late opposite weir gardens.

River low, long walk but worth it. Method: swim feeder with pellet or meat and rolling meat. Biggest Barbel 9LB 4OZ
Biggest Chub 6LB 7OZ - what a cracker. Most of Chub in 4LB - 5LB bracket, all in excellent condition.

Top end of the beat is very pretty with great views of the weir gardens and excellent access, with the lower end proving a bit tricky to get to.
I lost a couple of fish to the large weedbeds they were hiding under, even on stepped up floodwater tackle but managed to land 5 Barbel and 7 Chub. All fish were taken on standard feeder tactics with hemp, mixed pellet and groundbait.

Low water levels. Sunny and warm day. Feeder fishing. Dawn produced most bites/fish. Beautiful stretch of river. Thank you.

Second day ever on the Wye. Much better than the previous day but fished the same way! Fish weights were approx 4lb for the chub and 6lb for the barbel.

First day ever on the Wye. No fish were caught, tried various methods and swims but no luck this time.

1st time on this beat and although on the water for 7 hrs spent most of the time exploring and pre-baiting. Had a baited hook in the water for about 1 hr in the end. 1 barbel of approx 7/8 lbs landed plus another ripping bite which ended in the hook being thrown after about 10 secs. Beautiful beat and the fish caught in fin perfect condition.
