Feedback & Reports

We picked the windiest day of the week on which to wind up our season. Did it blow and then either downstream or straight at you so trotting proved tricky. River was in great condition with plenty of water and hardly any colour. Without the expected visit from Colin the guide, we had to find the fish ourselves (whatever is fishing coming to!) but that wasn't difficult and after a morning of exploration we found 'em in mid afternoon and had regular action to both rods until dark.
Unusually we caught more barbel than chub despite the regular trickle of maggots and pellets but what a way to finish the season and what a lovely stretch of river to do it on.
We stopped at Woody's Tackle in Hereford en route - does any shop have a bigger selection of feeders and river floats?
Thanks WUF

Caught 2 barbel to 5lb. Fished in front of hut. Could not move around too much with back problems. Still a fantastic day. Many thanks.

Very cold and windy river low for time of year, 6 Barbel between us, considering the weather temperature etc we had a good day thanks W+U.

We were fortunate to be fishing the wonderful Wye on such a beautiful day. For February the weather was exceptional with warm sunshine and little wind and as we had a number of chub and barbel on pellet from various swims, we finished feeling very contented. It was also great to chat to Colin who was, as usual, cheerful and very helpful. Good luck for the coming Salmon season.

6 chub to 4lb 6oz and 8 Barbel to 7lbs all caught on maggot feeder and then boilie wrapped in paste at dusk.

Mild day, river settled, had few pike, a chub and a barbel. Thanks to Colin.

Arrived to find river about 3ft up and slightly coloured, fished some pegs half way down the beat, took a couple of chub around 2lb - 3lb and 1 barbel around 4lbs, all taken on h/pellet. Really nice to come out in such mild spring-like conditions in the middle of winter! Thanks once again Colin and all at WUF.

Had a lovely day on the river, very cold day but deadbaits produced a few nice pike to mid doubles, wonderful surroundings and a really nice peaceful day on the river, thanks.

A 5lb barbel within a minute of casting meant I could relax on a mild mid winter day. THe river was still running strongly so the rest of the day was relatively quiet. My companion and I had three barbel and two chub from the top of the stretch which seemed like a good result for the time of year.

I had been watching the river levels in order to make sure my trip was not a wasted one. As it was the river was running high but fishable. I walked the stretch looking for quieter water where I might catch pike. There were few slacks dispite the salmon groynes. The largest slack is below the island near the downstream boundary but is inaccessible from the bank due to trees. I blanked!
