Feedback & Reports

Arrived to the river to find it up a foot and nicely coloured. Started off on pellet and bomb and needed to up the lead size to account for the amount of debris being washed down the river. Had 5 barbel in quick succession then steadily picked a few off before leaving at 5pm. We were lucky to miss the rain as the wind almost caused inside-out brollys a couple of times before we gave them up as a bad job.

The river dropped about 3inches in the time we were there and had we not had to leave early then I'm sure we would have had a good few more fish.

Please add this to my previous catch return:

Also, to the angler who was fishing the steps below the church - thanks very much for leaving what looked like a full bag of pellets, sweetcorn and also maggots 'tut tut'. The WUF documents clearly state that maggots etc cannot be used until September but I have seen reports of people using these in recent weeks (one very recently on How Caple Court). I don't understand why people cannot abide by the rules - they are there for a reason...

We also picked up the litter you had left...

today was a blank unfortunately , I was shocked because this beat always provides good numbers of fish , didn't get a single knock all day , and the other angler here had blanked to , conditions are really challenging at the minute , the river is very low

As previous reports have said the river is very hard work at the moment.Not a single knock in 12 hours fishing despite trying different swims,possibly only the second time i have failed to get a bite on the Wye!.
Nice to see the fishery has notices now and well done for the new steps making access safer.
Please note there is a caravan rally in the bottom field at the moment.

Another awesome WUf day. Struggled in the wheat field up by the bridge in the drizzle....we moved down below church over lunch and caught steadily from 2-9pm off the main flows. Lost a monster at the end of the day. 3 and 4oz Feeder and pellets ruled but larger barbel taken on my 'special' boilies.

The River was back to its clear and low usual summer state so quite hard work to find the fish. Beautiful stretch of water; one of the highlights was a Kingfisher landing on my Son's rod. I've never seen that before.

Barbel from 8oz to 6lb, Chub to around 3lb.

Second trip to this stretch in a couple of weeks. Currently proving difficult due to river conditions. A sunny day and low water did not combine well and just 2 chub to show for our efforts. Hopefully we will see some real rain soon.

We arrived hopeful as the river had risen to .75m overnight after a long spell at its lowest but it turned out to be a pretty tough day. We fished as many swims as we could throughout the full length of the beat with standard pellet approach. Access to the water is good and the beat is a nice flat walk along its length. We found campers fishing the lower meadow but after checking with w&u now understand that there is no agreement in place with the fishery owners to allow this so they should not prevent your access to this meadow

Similarly as hard as the day before. Weather didn't help but nothing we could do about that. Tried numerous swims throughout the stretch with a multitude of baits all to no avail. Two small Barbel both fell to sweetcorn.
