Whatever life throws at you, there is no better cure than a day by the river. Fished with my brother on what has to be our favourite WUF stretch of the Wye. Very clear conditions and the most beautiful blue sky; Buzzards wheelng overhead and Curlews calling in the fields opposite. Between us we had 12 Barbel between us and 4 Chub, all on the pellet feeder combo. The best fish of the day (8:11) came around five o'clock. Thanks once again to the WUF - efficient booking and everything working smoothly.

The river levels were low and clear and we had to search a few swims to find the barbel. Fishing mostly with "traditional" baits, bread, cheese and luncheon meat, we winkled out eight barbel to just under seven pounds and a few plump chub. WUF has made some lovely water available for day ticket fishing and we are very grateful for the service provided.

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.
