Feedback & Reports

Fished early and late. One small Chub in the morning, three small Barbel in the evening. Not as much weed as I remember from previous visit here some years ago. Looking forward to reading catch returns that complain about the large amounts of weed being cut upstream snagging lines!

Some days it’s not about the fishing. Blue skies and high temperatures were off putting to the fish. 2 small chub and a few half hearted pulls. Access simple in the dry, I can imagine when wet the grass on the hill would be interesting in a car. Decent flow at the bottom end of the beat but limited summer access with bank side growth.

River very low, fished evening only.

Very tough day due to it being so hot and sunny - they just weren’t biting.
Had 5 small chub between us all day despite trying lots of different methods and baits. Still, we saw kingfishers, goosanders, swans and other wildlife and had a pleasant day on the river

Fished the top two swims without success, then the concrete wharf, which also proved fruitless.
Managed to find the Chub on the beach, albeit they continued to behave skittishly. Finally, encouraged a little activity from the croy.
More fish were caught on sweetcorn and luncheon meat than were caught on pellet and boilie.
Some work on the bank and some roping would prove beneficial as there were only six accessible swims.

Nothing blanked, today but a fantastic stretch of the wye, definitely be back again
