Feedback & Reports

Both fish caught before 9am, then the canoes arrived in their 1000’s. Would love to come to this venue again but next time to hire a canoe as the fishing went completely dead after they arrived. Is there any certain times or beats that isn’t swamped with people?

Fishing Passport Note : There is advice on our website in rgards to canoeists. https://www.fishingpassport.co.uk/canoeing-advice-for-anglers. Some of the advice included is to try to avoid weekends and bank holidays when canoe traffic is at its heaviest, especially during low water in the summer months. If possible, concentrate your fishing on weekdays. Also, concentrate your fishing efforts early and late in the day when canoe traffic is at its lightest. These are also the times when fish are most active in summer.

1 small chub, 1 barbell & lots of lost equipment due to snags & a kayak.
Not many choices for swims 4 people would be too many on that stretch in my opinion.

Fished the peg opposite the house. Access down to the swim was pretty difficult as there had been a lot of rain this morning. I appreciate you leaving it natural but some investment could be made to making access alot safer and overall improve the angling experience. Even the addition of a rope would help.

The fishing itself was fantastic. All fish caught on cage feeder just inside the faster flowing water. All barbel in good condition and were well rested before release. Weights ranged from 4-8 pounds.

Fishing Passport Note : The Wye is an SAC and SSSI, meaning the river and its banks are highly protected under law. There are, therefore, strict limits on what can be done to improve access.

River level low. Fishmeal groundbait with mixed pellets and hemp in a cage feeder and halibut and robin red 8 to 12 mm pellets as hookbait. Sometimes doubled on a hair or banded.

A bit of a disaster for me this beat had to walk down to the beat because a notice on the gate said only 4 wheel drives allowed down until further notice so walked the length of the beat with everything but the kitchen sink found a suitable swim got my rod out but couldn't find my reel I had left it in the car it must be about a mile to where I walked so to go back to the car to get my reel then come back again was not going to happen so decided to Lugg all my gear back a mile up the hill of doom and went home.

Fishing Passport Note : There is a pop up notice altering anglers to information on the track and the need for a 4x4 prior to booking. Apologies if you missed this.
