Feedback & Reports

Fished 3rd and 4th September two rods, first day caught 8 Chub to 4lb 13oz most 2-3lb, 1 small Barbel approx 1lb 8oz, 2 Gudgeon.
2nd day 7 Chub 2-3lb.
Fished bread and luncheon meat over hemp and crumb, water was clear and low which allowed access to bottom of bank in a few swims, waders would be needed to fish all swims and if water is higher.
Nice stretch of river very enjoyable.

Only 3 fish from 2 rods, a nice small chub & 2 juvenile chub. The conditions seemed perfect and we caught the first fish within an hour using a feeder & sweetcorn on the hook. It is an attractive piece of river & I'm sure has good fish in it. Wished we brought waders as the majority of the swim is inaccessible. Weeds are also a problem so take ledgers & feeders that are less likely to snag. We will be back, but with different tackle.

Fished 3.00pm - 9.00pm, caught 5 Chub and 2 Barbel (5lb 1oz and a baby of about 2lb), both trotting and static ledgering. Water low and clear; I was glad I brought the waders as this opened up a lot more of the water to me. Attractive beat, not many canoes but lots of swans.

Web booking faultless - directions and beat description good. First time on the Wye, Foy is a nice short stretch with about six swims more available to wading. Caught 2 barbel and 5 chub lost about 8 fish to weed and hook pulls. DOH! Fishing tailed off in afternoon and evening as the sunny conditions made conditions difficult in shallow water. Bait used was pellet, sweetcorn, and meat. Overall good fishing nice scenery and would go back hopefully with more water on. Thaks WUF

No Catch. The first time I've fished on the Wye and the first time I've fished for Salmon. The river was high and fast. I struggled to cast from the banks and the casts were swept away with little time to sink.

The owner was discussing improvements to the banks with a colleague and he helpfully advised me on the salmon runs but even that could not help me today. I should probably give it another go when there has been less rain.

WUF Note: To maximise chances, we recommend that those inexperienced in Wye salmon fishing contact us for advice on water conditions and suitable beats before making a booking.

Thought we would have a go on the middle Wye. Arrived in heavy rain, so chose the easy walk to the right bank. Fished the large swim in the middle of the length, but after a couple of hours, we did not have any bites between us, so decided to fish the left hand bank. I eventually settled in the last swim, below the rapids. Fished halibut pellets on standard barbel rig, and although I had to share the swim with 23 juvenile swans!,had lots of bites from the off in the shallow water but only managed to hit 6 of them, 6 chub to 4 1/2lbs, and lost a fish that pulled the rod off the rest, and snapped the line. Tony fished the deepish swim below the bridge, and only had a dozen bites on luncheon meat but managed 7 chub and 2 barbel to 6lbs. Was nice and sunny in the evening.

5 chub to 4lb and one barbel 6lb. Sure the site was much shorter than the 600yds stated and I struggled to climb the banks in the few swims available (very slippery after rain). But eventually sorted myself out and found a few fish.
WUF note: Both the website and the beat document state the beat is 220 yards of double bank fishing. Improvements to bank access will be made over the next couple of months.

Just a couple of hours spent here. 1 good barbel each, around the 7lb mark. Found this beat OK for an evening and would be better with around 2ft extra water maybe.

Really attractive and peaceful stretch of this wonderful river. Spent the morning fish spotting & baiting up. Started fishing soon after lunch and had 15 or so chub averaging 3-4lb with a best of 5lb 3oz on trotted sweetcorn feeding corn & pellets from a swim about a third of the way down on the left bank. River had risen about 6 inches overnight and had just a tinge of colour. Then roved around for a few hours and caught chub from most swims wading and trotting corn. Finished off trotting corn and pellets in pre-baited shallow swim on right bank near trees and had 8 barbel approx 3-6lb in less than 2 hours.
A good days fishing in marvelous surroundings and great fun on the float.
Had the beat to myself. It would have been difficult to fish the way I did had there been another angler on the water. Can't wait to return!

Three chub - 1lb, 2.5lb, 4.5lb. One Barbel 5.3lb. Lost one Barbel. Standard halibut pellets. Lovely fishery really easy to find and the pegs are well kept with excellent access.
