Feedback & Reports

River at its limits in places and bursting its banks in others. Chucking it down with rain from the moment we got up. Did not fish.

Record reported floods during the day throughout mid, west and northern wales. Very grey, strangely warm and windy but no rain, with the river rising dramatically in just a couple of hours.
Very hard to get a line in and keep it in one spot. Less a case of "where are the fish?" and more a case of "where can I fish?". A couple of small areas of sheltered water but the river was pouring through and very murky. Huge fallen trees and dead sheep were amongst the debris streaming by faster than you could run. Not a nibble....

Barbel to 6lb and chub to 5lb at lower end of the beat. Just fished from 4pm.

River very low and clear, weather conditions very warm and pleasant but would have preferred a bit of water on. the access to the river is great you can drive right down to the river, but I would not like to drive up the hill after a bit of rain I would imagine if you don't have a 4x4 you could have problems. Most of our fish were caught from the swims directly down stream of the upper Car Park. All fish caught by minimal feeding and small hooks long hook lengths and small pellets, a good tactic for low clear rivers. Filling it in on the assumption " you cant overfeed on the Wye" didn't work on the swims opposite the Courtfield section

Great spot with easy access. River was slowly dropping and it took a few swim changes to find the fish.
