Feedback & Reports

Returned to Sugwas for a second day to find river slightly down from previous day and the weed that had been coming down the river had now eased.

All 3 anglers returned to the same pegs that they had fished previous day, angler 1 (myself) had 9 Barbel & 3 Chub, angler 2 had 3 Barbel & 3 Chub angler 3 had 3 Barbel & 1 Chub all fish were caught on boilies and pellets.

This is a nice beat with very good access and we will return again.

15 Barbel, 7 Chub

Excellent days fishing for myself on a very nice beat, 11 Barbel & 2 Chub all caught on boilies, angler 2 had 2 Barbel & 1 Chub and angler 3 only 1 Chub. These were caught on pellet, river had risen slightly during the night and there was a lot of weed coming down the river which made conditions very hard.

13 Barbel, 4 Chub

Bottom fishing in low clear water.

Fished Sugwas Court on a really hot day with very low river conditions. It wasn't till after lunch we started to catch, first off was an Eel of about 2lb then a Barbel which was 5lb 14oz (my friends first ever so well done) then a Chub maybe a couple of pound. Mid afternoon I got my first a Barbel, 7lb 3oz then next chuck in a Barbel 8lb 5oz followed by a Chub again around 2lb. A little later on another Barbel 5lb 13oz, so a good day in all. Many thanks and what a stunning river, wildlife and scenery.

River with a slight tinge of colour maybe from the overnight storms in the area. 3 chub from one swim early in the session. A small barbel from one of the more open swims in the cow field. 2 fish lost from under the trees, one felt like a decent fish, then one landed around the 6lb. A 7lb fish followed from another of the swims under the trees. At least we a caught. All fish taken on quivertip.

10 chub between us in 9 hours on pellet and meat. River was drastically low. Only managed to find 2 accessible swims after nearly 2 hours searching because of surface weed and overgrown bankside. Very disappointed with the venue. Wont be going back.

Another poor day on this beautiful stretch of water. Fished near the orchard and also in the lower meadow. A few small chub but no sign of the barbel anywhere. The weather was again very hot and the water level even lower than the previous Wednesday. It started to thunder in the distance about 8pm so it was prudent to start packing up and wonder where all the barbel had been hiding. I will return to fish again in the future and hope that the river levels are a little higher next time.

There is never a bad day on the Wye, but the low river and hot bright conditions are making it tough going. There were a couple of swims that produced the fish but one of them was very difficult to return the fish safely, so it took two of us, one in the water to land and unhook the fish safely, and one fishing. I drew the short straw and spent my time in the water, may be not so bad given the weather. I would just like to emphasise that in these conditions the fish welfare should come first and if you can't land and release the fish safely in a given swim, don't fish it!

Hot, low water, one chub to each rod on meat.

River very low and weather boiling hot, no fish moving or to be seen anywhere on the lower stretch of the fishery. A poor days fishing after excellent experiences in previous year. I can only put it down to river levels and heat, however I will be back to try again it is still a wonderful venue.
