Feedback & Reports

Rainy day but was still a good day. Stuck mostly to campsite (due to rain) which was close to Locksters Pool, beat 5. River at fair level, had 3 chub, 2 on dry and 1 on nymph, they were small but lovely looking fish. Next time will make a booking for the Upper Wye if that helps any first timer (like myself) make a decision of taking a fly rod to Whitney Court.

8 chub up to 4lbs and 2 Barbel approx 8lbs each. With the exception of 1 chub all caught trotting. 1 Chub on feeder with Pellet. Very disappointed with the lack of accessible swims. Late decision to fish the Wye and only place left that I could book on line as offices were closed. Would have liked to have fished Whitehouse as it was free but couldn't book online.

Nil bites. 18 inches down from Tuesday, clear, and I fished widely on beat 3 in a few hours evening session. Without the extensive weed this year I dont feel the food source is there and neither were the fish on this day.

No salmon caught (only one seen splashing very briefly), and no other fish seen at all. A very depressing day's fishing actually. I could have done with more action, and the water on that beat is not very varied or very interesting. I saw 2 cormorants right by the house where I parked (you wanted to know of such sightings).

3 barbel and 2 nice chub. Hard work finding them as pushing through in swims close to salmon house beat 3, so roved a bit.

3 barbel 18 chub all caught on pellet. River was high and very coloured but we still had two great days fishing. Accommodation at the Pound B and B next to the Boat pub was out of this world. Thanks.

A lovely venue and a really helpful guide in Ian Boney. The access was good with safe, secure parking. Cars without 4 wheel drive may struggle through some patches but once the fields dry out a little this should not be a problem.
The river was fairly high on our visit (approx 1.5m up) making swim choice limited but we managed 2 barbel and 4 chub between us. We would definately come back here again and try in lower water conditions.

Caught 1 chub 4lbs 2ozs and 1 eel 3lbs. River about 2/3ft up but not coloured. The bank on beat3 is high and difficult/dangerous coupled with grass and weed on the bank 3/4ft high so you could not see any access points. I think for £20 + £3 booking fee the bank should be at leased strimmed to create access and reduse risk. Poor value.

On my own as unfortunately my pal went down with shingles. Wet day with lots of water in the river. Didn't stay late but managed 2 chub and a barbel. Ian met me and gave me a friendly and helpful introduction. Look forward to coming back to this beautiful stretch in proper Summer.

Water up 2ft. Managed 2 barbel 6-7lbs and 2 chubb 4-5lbs. Testing conditions but a good fishing shelter on the beat to get away from the elements. Great atmoshphere between the anglers there, salmon and coarse. Saw salmon moving through beat that didn't appear to be stopping.
