Feedback & Reports

Decided in a crazy moment to visit the Wyebank beat in near artic conditions, fished from 9am-3pm stick float on the pin feeding maggots, freezing tempature with air temp at 2 deg C and water temp at a little over 3 deg C, biggest problem was line freezing in rings of the rod but managed to catch 2 Chub to 4lb 8oz and one Brown Trout of about 1lb, river was in good condition lower levels and a little tinge of colour. Just a shame about the weather....roll on summer and those Wye Barbel!!

1 Trout, 2 Chub

Unfortunately no fish caught, but excellent & friendly advice from the owner of the fishery, will definitely book more fishing on same & other of your waters. Thanks for the very prompt & efficient booking. Best regards pww (Andy). P.S. Have a wonderful Chistmas.

A couple of hours teaching a 10 year old to trot. The run off from Wyebank crib seemed ideal. A bit slow for first hour but chub, trout, dace gave consistent sport after a pint of maggots worth of steady loose feeding. Many thanks to Tim for being so accommodating.

Back for our third fish of the year. Again a small problem with booking but easily sorted by phone. The fishing was very hard probably due to the cold snap and only one fish connected with and promply lost. Excellent weekend and great to spend time with Don and Rudi on this incredible fishery. Simon arrived as we were leaving to fish for dace with his family and rounded the weekend off nicely. We will be back.

Fished at bottom of beat on advice fron Rudi, also met Don the owner, both very helpfull.
River runs very fast & really had to step up the weight of my feeder to hold bottom. Problem with weed as ever which meant casting every few minutes. Finished up with 5 barbel & lost 2 in the same snag, probably rocks. Great day on the Wye as ever, many thanks to WUF.

Second day after fishing Courtfield yesterday, set up with no action, then along came Don the owner made a suggesting of where to fish so Phil and moved. Pellet over pellet again, it was very slow for me - one barbel of 7lb. Phil though did it again, 3 barbel 3.0,5.0 and a 6.14 plus a 3lb chub. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely return.

5 barbel and a chub between 2 rods all from the Old Wharf pool all on boilie. Fishing was tricky and the sucessful method was very long hooklengths and small baits.

The Old Wharf pool is the only real swim on this stretch, you can wade to the far bank in places and there are 2 other cribs, but the water is shallow and very fast. Perhaps in the height of summer this beat would produce better but I think the limited swim choice would mean that i would not return to this beat unless I had it all to myself. Met the owner who was helpful and full of useful information. Access is very good, bring a rod pod to help fish the cribs.

Another smashing day on the Wye weather not great - clear blue sky & chilly downstream gusty breeze made trotting hard work but no problem on the feeder, had 11 barbel - 6 beautiful (2 lb / 3 lb) fish plus 5 better fish to 8ish lbs plus 1 chub many thanks WUF.

Tough day with lots of weed coming down river - lots of tackle lost. Day saved by one 5lb barbel. But interesting beat and will fish again in better conditions.

Slight increase in water level and flow compared with the the previous meant lots of weed making fishing very difficult. Only fished for an hour without any bites.
