Feedback & Reports

Spent half the day in search of pike dropping a deadbait in 3 likely slack areas & same areas again later in the day without any luck. Tried an hour lure fishing, no luck, just a follow to the bank from a small pike, better luck next time maybe? River was in fishable conditon given the amount of rain we've had. River banks very very slippy so do take a spike & rope with you on your next trip. Many thanks to Colin for the chat, river conditions & information he gave me, also to the Foundations booking service. It's so easy.

Very difficult conditions indeed. Only 1 fish, 10lb plus.

1 Barbel

The River Wye was bombing through and in angry mood only about 30 % of the beat was fishable with 4oz plus of lead needed everywhere!
We did find one peg later in the day with some slack water free of debris and had one big barbel bite that produced an epic scrap nearly pulling my son in! Sadly a hook pull at the rim of the landing net ended hopes of a happy ending-the eight year old was surprisingly mature at this disaster (far better than his distraught 37 year father!
Should be prefect by Thursday-good luck to whoever has booked on Thursday you lucky souls!!

Arrived to find at least six foot of flood water on river and only one part of the stretch fishable. We all worked hard all day for 1 barbel about 4lb and an eel. Both caught on pellet. Very nice, well looked after stretch of water.

After heavy rain the day before, the river had risen and coloured up slightly so we were hoping for a better day's sport. We started at the bottom of the fishery and worked our way slowly back upstream trying most of the swims. Although my mate Ben caught 1 barbel during the morning it wasn't till the afternoon that we caught any further fish. I caught my 4 barbel in the last 3 hours of the day from one of the middle swims so was a happy man in the end! Definitely a lovely stretch of water and very nicely manged too!

Had a great day with all of us catching. All fish on pellet & feeder. Good river access & parkihg. Top advice from Colin the keeper who put us onto the fish, a charming man who it was a pleasure to meet. The barbel were from 4 to 8lb.

River was a foot up but going down, river running clear. Weather was warm but windy, all fish taken on caster and maggot. Could not get a bite on any other bait. Would like to fish the beat in the spring, great day for the three of us.

One barbel to 6lb on pellet.

Dads 70th birthday and even though the barbel didn't come to play the chub certainly did with him taking 26, including a few over 5lbs. Dad and Colin the Gillie had good old chat and laugh. Brilliant day, Thank you WUF.
