Feedback & Reports

Only two fished again. After yesterday's exertions we decided to fish the groynes but changed our minds after two hours with no action and went back to the end peg at 2pm. Same tactics as yesterday, straight lead and PVA bags. Lost a couple of fish in snags. Packed up in daylight after an enjoyable day! It was great to meet Colin Richardson the gillie.

A tough day. The barbel came spasmodically throughout the day but our baits were intercepted mainly by chub. All fish caught on straight lead and PVA bags. Packed up half an hour early, at prime time, when our PVA bags ran out.

No idea how many chub we caught between us but well over 60 and a really good average size. Barbel on the small side but fair play to them for beating the chub to the bait. Thanks Wuf.

Weather cloudy, sunny and quite humid. River very low. Fishing slow until afternoon. Large number of canoeists, most of whom were quite polite and only a couple went through my swim. Access path down at the bottom getting very eroded and there is a risk of sliding into river. This risk will become significant when it is wet. If erosion continues path will be gone in a couple of years. Would not recommend this access if angler unsteady on feet.

A very pleasant day at this beat, difficult to get past the chub in the hope of a barbel or two but managed a solitary fish at 5lb 7oz, chub to 4lb 7oz on the float and ledger. Also two small dace on the float.
Many thanks Wye & Usk

Found it hard to get through the Chub, but did manage a few Barbel. Very active days fishing as usual here. Caught mainly on pellets
