Feedback & Reports

A dry day in more ways than one, the river was up by a few inches and reasonably coloured, I found only 3 pegs fishable one had a Hornets nest another looked ideal for a Salmon but sadly not my quarry, the Barbel. Method used, standard feeder filled with a pellet based groundbait hook bait was a swap between meaty boilie and old reliable Spam. I had intended to wade and trot but the fast flow defeated me. I can highly recommend "Stay by the Wye' some 500yards from the bridge, very comfortable accommodation complete with lockable tackle store.

Went 5 hrs with out a bite, kept changing bait and methods and eventually started to get indications so happy with the results

Ok day, got a little rough later on with a storm pushing overhead and the river became ‘busy’ with tree bits. Otherwise not a terrible day.

Stayed on the Left bank and didn't find many accessible swims. Should probably have explored the Right bank, as the river looks more accessible from there.
Spike and rope were helpful as banks were slippery.
Only 1 fished today.

First time on this beat river up just over a metre not many swims to choose from had too move about to find the odd fish, challenging but enjoyable

A slow start. Having yesterday fished opposite lucksall caravan park using soaked barbel elipse pellets I thought the same would work here. After a few bait switches it was back to the ever faithful glugged meat side hooked in 10mm. A flurry of chub, one lost barbel and one landed barbel of 5 to 6lb with a small kink on its right side...all fish back safe. River pushing through but weather was pleasant.

Arrived at 3pm to fish into dark. River high, coloured, and fast flowing. Targeting barbel with feeder and ledger tactics but only managed to catch one decent chub 4lb+.

River on the rise, trees and debris a problem, fish feeding throughout the day, fish two swims on left hand bank. Feeder and pellet working well.
