Feedback & Reports

Day 2 and Jeff joined me. For Wye novices we winkled out a few decent chub to 4lb and Jeff had a barbel at around 5lb. With the river up, limited to the swims but we did quite well on the bend furthest from the car park. Luncheon meat and a spicey pellet.

Really just a quick looksee before my fishing buddy joined me later in the week. River up quite a bit (and a lot bigger than my local river!) and needing 3oz lead to hold bottom. A 2lb eel, a few decent chub and a 7lb barbel quite a good start to the week. Luncheon meat did the trick. Nice location, quite a walk if you don't want to risk the car in a wet field (and if you are on your own you might not want to).

1 Chub (2lb), 6 Barbel (3lb - 6lb 14oz).

Shocking weather and I saw 6 trees and a yellow garden shed float past. The river was rising so I called the office to ask if I could get a washout. They said yes but advised that it should be fishable. I decided to man up and found a swim where 4oz of lead actually held bottom. Was very glad I did!

A good but not spectacular day on a stretch that we have done well on in the past - 7 Barbel and 1 Chub to mainly pellet.

Water still high and very coloured and going through very fast. Eel 1st cast on meat, 1 and 1/2lb, then found it quite hard to hit bites as the line kept getting debris on, but we got a few small chub before lunch. Then decided to glue some swivels on heavy stones and use them as weights to fish in the fast flow in search of the bigger fish. Got 5 chub up to 2 and 1/2lb and a barbel of 3lb. Hooked a couple of larger barbel, but one straightened my hook and I couldn't get the other past the rocks hidden below the flow. Caught a dace before the wind got up and then we stopped getting bites. Saw 3 good sized salmon rising all day, one very big. Along with the kingfishers and birds of prey it's a great area to fish, we enjoyed the challenge and we will be back. Successful baits were meat, cheese, and corn for chub - frankfurter pellets for the barbel. Thanks again to WUF

Arrived to find the river was whizzing through and up several feet. I was expecting to have a really good day but unfortunately the fish thought otherwise. Fished down towards the Lugg and had nothing, moved upriver a bit and caught 2 chub eventually got a small barbel as it was getting dark. Amused myself feeding the minnows in the margins. Nice to be on the river anyway.

4 barbel - 5lb, 2 x 6½lb & 7½lb, 1 x small chub. Something very big lurking in one of the pools... could have been salmon or pike.

4 barbel 5 - 7lbs 9oz and 1 small chub all caught on pellets, between two rods. Very nice fishery, bank access very good, vehicle access easy when dry. Fished all day for nothing until 4.30 and then it got quite exciting. Big fish moving, probably pike but could have been salmon. Enjoyed our day very much. Excellent service from the office staff, thankyou very much.

Had a lovely day at Luggsmouth....we had about 7 barbel (up to about 6lb) between us and a couple of chub....river low and clear, could do with a fall of rain! Sadly had to end the session early, but will definately return.

2 rods. Only 2 chub caught (5lb and 3lb). 3 barbel were lost. Looks like it could produce when everything just right.
