Feedback & Reports

Found swim choice difficult here, large amounts of the best aren’t really fishable due to bank side vegetation. Both fish good quality, the chub around 5 lb and the barbel 9 lb. expensive beat though.

Bit of a first here for me on the Wye.... like other anglers we share the river with people in boats.dogs and their walkers plus the occasional swimmer but seldom do you get the opportunity to observe horses galloping through your swim...!! Three hardy riders in atrocious conditions were galloping upstream but fortunately were very courteous when noticing me so did not treat my line as the winning tape of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and passed by slowly...The wind and rain were relentless but managed to catch a couple of Barbel in testing conditions and will return to this beat in the future.

Stretch of river is beautiful, but with it low and clear, after six hours without so much as a knock. I gave up.

Sunny, very windy day spent on Carodoc. Hard work on the float long trotting, but rewarded with lots of small chub.
Later on in the day picked up a couple of nice barbel and a chub on ledgered luncheon meat.
Will be back.

Tricky day on this beautiful stretch of the Wye. River was very low and clear but we managed to sneak a few out from the beach area. Although it's expensive we love this beat and it's just a wonderful place to fish especially in the sunshine we had.

Never fished stretch before, access is great and in good conditions can take car behind all pegs which helps on such a long beat, started at top just above Salmon croynes had 3lb Chub first cast on float fished banded pellet thought I would empty it, and then nothing,

In the afternoon moved to bottom of the beat had a chat with other angler he had caught well but was moving to the top of the beat. Fished last peg on the beach had 2 Barbel biggest 8.5lb and a lot of small Chub about a 1lb and a huge Dace about the same size and a surprising Perch again caught on float fished banded pellet.

Changed to feeder due to getting tired on float had a further 6 Barbel all about 5lb.

Lovely water, beautiful setting, only problem was dog walkers letting dogs go in the river even next to where you are fishing . They can access water over foot bridge I can imagine it is nightmare on a weekend.
