Feedback & Reports

A cool day. The river looked in good condition and it certainly looks different in the Winter. Two nice barbel caught mid day in the swim below the power lines.

Conditions looked fantastic although very cold . Moved swims 3 times and only managed 2 small chub. Nice day all the same

Two of us covered a lot of water with deadbaits..float fishing and wobbling. No bites all day despite conditions looking good.

River very high and pushing through. Banks very slippery so not many swims available. Good day.

Under the very low water conditions we were very happy to catch 3 barbel each on a stretch that fishes better in higher water. Last day of a 6 day trip to the Wye which we have thoroughly enjoyed.
Many thanks WUF.

Really difficult day on this beat, one beat to avoid when no water in the river but fishes well when river up.
I fished in Boys rock all day and didn't have a touch, my mate fished 3 swims and eventually had a 7lb barbel.
As said in previous posts would benefit from some work being carried out to open up a few swims as it has become more overgrown each year.

River low and clear with floating weed and fallen leaves a bit of a nuisance. Started in Boys Rocks at 1.00 pm but had not a touch until 4.00 pm when I moved to a swim downstream until dusk. Same result! Neither barbel nor chub interested in pellet or meat. Some maggots might have been useful. Oh well, I guess we all have a bad day now and then!

Hi, whilst we enjoyed our day a lot, I would have the following comments to make. The fishing pegs are very very limited. Not having fished the stretch ever before I decided to walk it from top to bottom. I counted probaly 8 pegs in total that could be fished but 3 of these were really really awkward to fish and in fact most anglers wouldnt have even contemplated looking at them. 2 others at the lower end were in extremely shallow fast water and not really an option. With any water on then one of these would have been a no no so in reality there were about 4 pegs. I believe 4 anglers are allowed on it so possibly okay but then no options to move at all. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 anglers so we could move a bit but at £22 each we thought its very very expensive for the options available. With a little bank work the difficult pegs could be made better and a couple more created at the upper end. I suppose the question would be, would I return? The answer is only possibly if I knew we were the only 2 on there as 4 is to many for the stretch as it is.(from an angler thats seen a lot of river over many years). Thanks.
WUF note: Wyastone Leys, like many Passport fisheries, is a 2 person beat with an option of a party of 3 or 4 to book. 2 groups of 2 or 4 individuals would not be permitted.
