Feedback & Reports

We arrived early and the river looked in really good condition.
After a slow morning things improved in the afternoon and we caught 2 Barbel and 8 Chub.

2 Barbel, 8 Chub

It was our first fishing trip to the Wye and we had our fingers crossed for a first ever Barbel. After a very long dry spell we were hoping that the drop in pressure which accompanied the wind and rain might prompt the fish to feed. It didn't really turn out that way and bites proved hard to come by. A small chub after an hour gave us hope but nothing else was forthcoming from The Point swim. A move downstream to James's, which we had pre-baited, resulted in two further chub and to our delight a Barbel of about 5lb! We fished on for another few hours but all we managed were a small bleak on the float and a minnow which had managed to get its head stuck through one of the holes in the feeder!

It was an enjoyable day on a beautiful river even if it wasn't as prolific as we were hoping.

A difficult start for me in the morning, without a single touch until noon, moving swims 3 times, I finally found some fish.
All were caught on pellet and feeder, with a very welcome barbel just before I packed up.

Love this fishery. Well kept great access to swims, and very consistent along it's length.
We were not geared up to reach the bottom swim, so fished a few others

Great day on the first swim after the stile, mixed halibut and red pellets in the feeder with krill boilie on the hair.
