Feedback & Reports

River was really high and brown. Could only fish one swim safely a near side slack half way along the beat. One bite which I missed ( typical ) no others all day fished for 7 hours.

Had tried to fish this beat last summer but due to low river conditions and streamer weed unable On our return found a very different river snow melt had the river up but did catch 3 chub to around 4lb.

River was pushing through fast with lots of debrie including a whole tree at one point, the top croy was submerged. I found a swim about halfway up that had some slack water & fished pellet & feeder tactics, fish came steadily throughout the day, biggest barbel 9lb, lots of weed catching on line made presentation difficult. This is a very peaceful & beautiful place to spend the day the autumn sunshine catching the trees on the valley sides was stunning. Walk back up the hill to the car with a heavy rucksack proved I'm not as fit as I thought. Thanks WUF for making it possible for me spend some time in such a lovley part of the world ????

Difficult day fishing wise with one barbel and a few chub landed between us, bright sunshine and the colour dropping out through the day might have had something to do with it I think, this beat has great potential When conditions are perfect. However, and this is a BIG however! what a stunning place to enjoy a days fishing! One of the most picturesque places I have ever fished. The wildlife and scenery is unbeatable in my opinion and the fish were absolutely immaculate specimens. all chub ranging between 3 to 5lb mark and the barbel was a shade over 8lbs so a big barbel for the wye and a new wye PB for myself. Many thanks to the wye and usk foundation from us both for a very enjoyable day in simply breathtaking surroundings.
