Feedback & Reports

After Middle Hill court we were really looking forward to this and we weren't disappointed: river was looking good just dropping a little through the day, today we were being joined by Ken the father outlaws mate never coarse fished a river so we only got fishing at 9ish after I set him up and gave him the lowdown on what to do. David and Ken started fishing in the field upstream of the car park a good choice as Ken had just had knee surgery, both started fishing on halibut pellets and ken's 1st cast he hooked into a 7lb barbel a real eye opener for a trout man he was over the moon I did tell him you don't catch with every cast but what a great start he lost a couple straight after but was loving it. David had a couple of bites but the sun was coming up and it went a little quiet, I stayed with them till 1030 when I was sure Ken was OK and went down to the peg near the pump house. I had 3 barbel within an hour on pellet wrapped in cheese paste biggest being 9lbs then I went back to check on the others. After lunch David left, Ken decided to stay put as he was settled and had 3 chub and a couple more barbel I went down stream and had a couple of chub from 4 swims there was a lad fishing the other side of the river so I missed out the banker peg but great fishing all chub on meat or cheese paste. I got back to Ken at 6ish he was leaving after a great day (he wants to come again) a good return for him as a course fishing novice. I decided to finish where they started I got amongst the barbel on pellet and had a good finish to the day. David came back to get his stuff so I let him sit by my rod and he got himself a lovely barbel it saved a blank but he did only fish for a few hours. Beautiful setting well kept and plenty of fish, saw a flock of House Martins feeding up on insects off the water a truly fantastic sight. Thanks WUF 2 great days fishing I can't wait to come back .

Very hard to find the parking spots for lower stretch. Not obvious. Could WUF have some small discreet signs made to indicate where we are supposed to park cars?

(Wuf: we'll look into it)

Fished the Mill Pool for 2hrs without a bite. Moved upstream to the deeper water and caught steadily until packing in at 4pm. Caught on pellet/feeder but by far the most successful bait was hemp & caster. This was my first time on Sugwas Court, plenty of swims to go at and good access. Thank you WUF.

We only fished in the afternoon today, so we were very happy with this return. All fish were caught on feeder and pellet. Thank you WUF.

A great Sunday on the Wye. Got to Sugwas court at about 11am. Fished marine halibut boilies over a feeder. Action started about 4pm and fish came regularly until dusk. Four Barbel over 7lb the biggest being a 9lb fish. Two smaller Barbel of 3lb and 4lb. A small chub of 2lb late in the day.
Enjoyed my day very much.

Only had very limited time to fish it mid day. Had one chub from the fast shallow end, nothing from the Orchard side.

1 Chub

Fished afternoon til dusk in the mill pool swim which had a nice depth as the river was low,watch out for a hidden snag to the right of swim ,snapped out on it a couple of times,cast a little more left. Had 4 barbel, 2 chub and lost a couple on pellet and feeder tactics. Nice stretch in lovely surroundings.

Decided to fish a couple of swims in the big field below the orchard after a slow start we started to catch a few fish by mid morning Continued to catch odd fish for the rest of the day even during the sunny afternoon. Had some notable barbel including fish of 9lbs 14 oz and 9lbs would certainly fish this beat again

17 Barbel, 5 Chub

River surprisingly low and cold overcast conditions made for hard fishing. The single barbel was about 5 to 6 lbs and in excellent condition caught on smallish hair rigged halibut pellet off the rocky shoal in the downstream section.
We chose Sugwas because of the ability to get a vehicle close to the bank section above the orchard. However it proved impossible to fish in this area with generally very steep high banks and the path through the top wooded section is impassible to traverse even without carrying fishing gear.
