Feedback & Reports

Super slippery and dangerous banks, needs more work to improve swims for coarse anglers. One only needs to walk up to the Vanstone and beyond to see what is possible in terms of improvements.

Fishing Passport Note : Difficult access is exaggerated when the banks are wet (and also during exceptionally dry periods). The Wye is an SAC and SSSI, meaning the river and its banks are highly protected under law. There are, therefore, strict limits on what can be done to improve access.

Lovely day on a well maintained beat. One angler lost a barbel early on then rest of day it was all chub, both on trotted meat and groundbait feeder with various hook baits. Chub from 1.5 to 5.5lb, most around 3lb. One angler caught a surprise 1lb+ roach on trotted meat. Lots of canoeists, all friendly and courteous.

Love this beautiful beat, has something for everyone, stunning location and is really well maintained.

Stayed down the bottom end, starting in the big "cut out" peg. I've done well on here before but after a few hours for one chub, decided to find the deeper water downstream resulting in loads of chub and a cute barbel.

Post lunch, dropped into the swim before it shallows up with the nice glide and had a fantastic few hours on the float (a chubfest on meat).

Got absolutely soaked for an hour but as soon as the rain stopped, the bites started. Almost one a chuck on secret pellets, including 3 good barbel.
