Feedback & Reports

River high and fast and over the croys but several swims fishable. Weather perfect , sunny with no wind and very Spring like. However in spite of trying 4 different swims could not raise any interest. A biteless day (where do all the chub go in winter?), but in spite of this nice to be back on the Wye.

Lovely day to be out on the river, tried several swims but could not get a bite, river was up & pushing through fast. Found a nice slack just above the island which l thought would contain fish but proved fruitless. Always nice to be on the Wye will return when conditions are more favourable.

On advice from Colin we fished below the island as the river was still up. Had great views of fiddlers elbow and birdlife. Also found some slacker water. Best barbel was on little 8mm pellet and lead, 6lb 8oz. Smaller ones on the feeder and boilie. Quite a few pike active. Fished backed off during the day downstream under trees. Final swim before gate became most productive. Nice beat will be back in the summer!

6 Barbel, 4 Chub

Returning to normal levels but strong flow made holding bottom difficult. Only 2 Barbel on pellet between 3 anglers plus a few chub. A surprise 14lb 6oz pike stayed hooked after grabbing a small chub.

First time on this accessible and interesting stretch - perhaps more of a low water venue than when we fished - about 6' on. Plenty of swims with nice creases but we struggled for 3 chub, I roach ,1 dace and an eel. Colin the keeper really helpful and friendly. Would love to return in the summer.

this catch return already done under SP from Chertsey for October 21 2019

River still very high and very few swims available. I could not find the barbel this afternoon but finished with lovely 3 chub, all in the 4-5lb bracket. The "other" was a most unexpected decent roach estimated at 1.25 - 1.5lbs.
