Feedback & Reports

Had a lovely days fishing, 1 barbel and 3 chub landed, also lost 2 barbel to a snag in the swim. All fish fell to feeder fished pellet. Banks where very steep in places making it very tricky to get into swims in the wet weather but a beautiful place non the less. Thanks.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

All caught trotting a variety of baits, largest went 4.5lbs. Moved to feeder for barbel, none showed. The whole river from all points between Ross and Hereford badly out of sorts, feel sure it's down to the weather and very delayed spawning for all species. Normally the margins are alive with fry but this year there's nothing.

No barbel. First time on the Wye. So much to learn. Very enjoyable though.

Really nice beat to fish, not far to walk from the car but the steep wooded hill you have to walk up to get back to your car can be tricky in the evening. Had some lovely barbel out from the croy at the very end of the beat, we were using pellets and roaming around a fair bit, trying out all the swims, some were easier then others to fish but still had a lovely day, good weather. The river was quite low.

River was a bit low but did have a little colour from recent showers, our day started really well with five barbel taken early in the day on feeder and pellet. All fish were between seven and eight and a half pounds and in pristine condition.
Mid morning produced a further five fish to the roving approach mainly from various pegs on the middle meadow, again the pellet and feeder working well for us. Banks have been subject to damage from winter high water which has limited access to the river reducing the number of pegs that can be fished safely, care should be taken as a day on this beat can be a pretty physical day out.
Another great day on our favourite river and a pretty good result for this early in the season with a low river.

2 barbel, 7 and 8lbs, 1 chub 4lbs on pellet.

Beautiful stretch of river which showed potential for a future visit. However, this time the cold weather was against us. Sadly no fish but with the remains of a nice sized barbel left on the croy by an otter we will certainly be back in the summer.

Conditions looked good and I hoped for a barbel but only managed some chub. Still nice to be out on the bank.

Very cold day and I blanked, but beautiful stretch of river, would like to come back when the coarse season re-opens.

Tried 5 different swims including the big slack at the top of the beat but not a bite to be had. Lovely stretch of river, will be back when the weather warms up & hopefully the fish feeding.
