Feedback & Reports

A very hard days fishing in a lovely location, as has been mentioned before there are a limited amount of swims -on the bit I walked I counted 5, 2 of them you would either need someone with you to make access easier or a rope to to help you out. We had a small amount of rain while there and the swims did become extremely slippery. Fish caught just below where you park using pellets and feeders.

Last day of my trip, predicted the day well except the 3 others were minnows…..2 foul hooked and one with its head stuck in my cage feeder! This place is teeming with life, kingfishers, swifts drinking on the wing, dragon flies, otters and screaming canoeists, an excellent Wye adventure.

Disappointing day on a stretch I know well. Think the fact that the same 3 or 4 swims are fished almost daily has had an impact. To fish the lower part apart from the rope pool and another nearby requires jungle warfare.
Lost a barbel on floatfished corn then had a couple of chub.
Strange no dace about to the corn- had lots at nearby kerne bridge the evening before. Perhaps they've migrated out.

We managed 4 barbel between us and lost a good chub to a snag mid river. The weather was not on our side 27 degrees the fish didn’t want to know, had 1 barbel first cast and then nothing till late afternoon. The beat has good parking right next to the river, but there maybe just under 1 mile of river double bank fishing available that you can walk and look at but the truth is you can only access about 600 yards due to no how over grown the rest of the river is and it’s a shame as we walked it and you can see some really good looking spots and swims,
