Feedback & Reports

A tough day on this usually productive beat, with the river still racing through and very coloured. We started off on the bend at the bottom of the beat, but after one 5lb barbel to RB in 4 hours it was time to take the roving approach. RW eventually found some feeding barbel and caught 3 up to 7.5lb on pellet. 5oz was necessary to hold bottom in most swims.

River conditions atrocious. High, rising and the colour of milk chocolate. Fishing virtually impossible but had a go. Actually caught an eel but that was all. River continued to rise throughout the day. We had some nice views of floating trees!!

Although the river looked spot on and thinning down nice, we only managed a couple of barbel and chub of no size on feeder fished scolded pellets and paste.

River appeared to have dropped slightly but soon began to rise very quickly. 2 Rods managed 4 Barbel & 2 Chub in difficult conditions. Pellet & meat accounted for the fish. Will be back.

River rising, managed 3 barbel.

River higher than last time I was here. Fish harder to find 2 Rods managed 5 Barbel & 2 Chub on a rising river. Pellet feeder accounting for the fish.

A pretty slow day despite the favourable river colour and overcast conditions. Fished at the lower limit of the beat intially, but no action. Moved to Hut Pool and had 3 Barbel each to about 7lb. Despite the small amount of fish a lovely day out as always.

Very difficult, river very high and virtually unfishable. Only one barbel between the 2 rods.

Warm windy day. Arrived a bit later than I wanted but had a barbel very quickly of 5lbs, taken on luncheon meat not far out in the crease about halfway down the beat. Nothing else even when I moved further downstream. Several fish jumping out of the water, anyhow saw a kingfisher several times. Lovely place and enjoyed my three days fishing on various beats of the Wye and Lugg. Top marks WUF the system worked perfectly for me and I will be back.

4 chub 3lb+, 2 barbel 6lb & 7lb. All caught on pellet.
