Feedback & Reports

8 barbel between us to 9lb+ on pellets. Drifting weed made fishing difficult.

The river was low and carrying a lot of drifting weed, which can be frustrating in many of the swims, due to the fishery being largely on the outside of a long gradual bend.
The first fish came out of the blue at nearly 5 o'clock and we finished with 5 barbel to just over 8lb. (Four from one swim and one from another).

Loose weed floating down made things a bit awkward but had 4 nice Barbel on feeder and pellett. A bright day but very pleasant and the fish were a bonus.

3 Barbel and 5 Chub

1 Barbel & 2 Chub. River rising and lots of weed.

Excuses: firstly, low clear river, blue skys and very hot. Not great conditions so we didn't arrive until 12pm. Then things got interesting to say the least!! A young lady was walking her dog as we drove to the bottom of the beat only to strip off before putting on a cossy and having a swim in the pool at the end. Thank you Wye & Usk - do we owe you any extra money for above entertainment??
p.s. fishing great considering conditions with plenty of chub plus 3 barbel as the sun dropped away. Great beat, will be back soon.

1st time on the Wye. Weather very hot and sunny and the river a little low. Hard fishing with a single chub being the only decent fish landed between 2 rods.

A hard day. Only 5 barbel between 4 rods plus a couple of chub. No bites till evening. Bait: pellet.

What a wonderful length. Quite a long stretch but you can drive along and park at the river side in good conditions. Some scary looking bulls but didn't cause a problem. Weather was good and caught steadily through the day.
Finished with 10 barbel, most around the 5lb mark but did have a 7 5 and a 9 1.

The swims with some flow seemed to produce fish. I was expecting more canoe traffic and the ones I saw were very well meaning. Love to come back.

Finally got on here. 18 barbel to 3 of us, all on pellet but rather uneven (14/3/1). It did include 8lb 12oz & 9lb 6oz fish. Lovely stretch but a lot of water to review on a 1st visit
