Feedback & Reports

Got there to find the river up and access not possible to any section bar the steps at the top which I am not sure are part of the beat anyway. A fallen tree is still blocking the main path and the rest is very overgrown and difficult to get through, even without carrying fishing gear. Tried to run a float down from the steps but all the time thinking that is was a completed waste of time and effort and gave up. I spent the rest of the day visiting a number of other beats upstream where people were fishing into the margins and catching despite the rise in water. Very disappointing that Wyebank is in such a state.

The report is for 2 anglers CT and AW.

CT - 13 Barbel (biggest just under the 3lb mark), 3 Chub ( biggest about 4lb 2oz) and the other was an Eel

AW - 3 Barbel, and 2 Chub

16 Barbel, 5 Chub, 1 Other

Wyebank....Wyebother!!
I found conditions very difficult. Unfishable really.
Weed caused trotting and ledgering impossible. Swims I tried sponsored by Angling Direct....tackle graveyards.Ah well...lovely area though.

River Was very low managed to fish the pool

Fished from 7am until the rain started, didn't have a bite. It's a good beat just wasn't my day. Tried float fishing and ledgering, probably could have managed a few if I'd stayed but chickened out due to the foreboding weather forecast. The tree blocking the path could really do with being removed.

First visit for me to the Wyebank stretch. Making my way to the bottom of the fishery I fished a 4 gram Alloy Avon to trundle small cubes of meat with hemp and mixed pellet as feed.
I managed 7 Chub averaging in size between 3-4lb with one or two getting on for 5lb.
A move back upstream and a switch to a Speci Waggler in the shallower water bought me my only Barbel of the session around 4lb in weight.

Fantastic beat , easy parking at the top of the beat and compared to other beats I have fished the access to the bank is fantastic ,with a private path leading down to the water and a public footpath running alone the top of the bank. As for the fishing it was a mild autumn day with low water levels, fished standard pellet and paste with a ground bait feeder and had an amazing day with 16 Barbel to 5 pounds and 5 chub to 4 pounds. Nothing big but a fantastic day's fishing, this was my first trip to Wyebank but I will definitely be back.

Nice stretch very easy to find and good access to the river. Fishing was ok, livened up in the evening. Be prepared to lose tackle it’s extremely snaggy, fished the pool at the bottom of the stretch biggest fish was a barbel of 3/4lbs.
