Feedback & Reports

A fairly good day. The lads battled into the wood, they were not impressed with the dangerous nature of the wood and disappointment with the fields below and inaccessibility of the river. Upper pools produced later in the day. Again another beat where work is needed to improve the fishing experience or reduce the cost of the ticket. The boys had to contend with people walking the beat and pestering them for information too.

Not a bad day, very slow till 2pm then for an hour a feeding frenzy with 6 chub and a barbel, then another between 5-6pm with 5 more chub and four barbel lost in weed. It was either rip them through it or hope they would swim out not one did and they all shook the hook - gutted!! Lovely beat will try the wooded section next time and leave all unneeded kit at home.

Fished the Lucky Stone pool, not a place for the faint hearted, or those without a rope, but most definitely worth the effort.
I must of lost half as many fish as I caught due to being cut off and the snaggy nature of this swim.

Managed 5 barbel from the top of the stretch off the croy. Also 5 chub with one scraping 5lb so a great days fishing.

Lovely beat with lots of different swims. Caught two Barbel & one chub, all putting up a great fight. Barbel to 8lbs. A pleasure to be on the river with some friends....

Fished the wooded section in a great swim near the big rock from 2pm until dusk. The river was low but had the first fish on the first cast. Barbel from 4 to 9 lb, chub 2-3 lb. A bit snaggy, lost quite a bit of gear but a totally amazing day for Joe's first trip to the Wye. Day 1 of 3. TBC......

Various methods but all fish caught on pellet. 4 x 3-4lb chub. River low, very weedy.

Fished in the wood, banks are tricky but ok with care. Caught from the first cast, 10 chub in the first 10 casts before things became a little slower. Rebaiting the swim with the dropper fetched more fish and a couple of barbel all fish caught on corn or 10mm boilie which by chance looked just the same as the cherries falling in the water off the trees. All chub between 3lb and 4lb 8oz, biggest barbel was 8lb 1oz and the other about 4 1/2lb, losing 2 more when the line was cut on rocks. A very nice days fishing indeed, also spotted my first otter on the Wye.

Hard to fish, very rocky, croys poor condition. Lucky stone swim had two barbel anglers on the far side so a long walk for nothing. Tried fly and spinner nothing.
