Feedback & Reports

Single Chub caught on rolled meat at the bottom of the beat. Utterly disappointing 2 days fishing on Wyebank. I do not recommend this beat. Uncountable number of times snagged and snapped off. Finished early in the Sunday as that fed up with the lack of bites and lost tackle. ????

Terrible day of fishing on Wyebank. River had over 3ft of water on. Limited options for pegs to fish. Avoid if you are not agile as banks are very steep and slippery when wet. Most chub caught on float fished meat. As other people have said, this stretch is a tackle graveyard, make sure you have plenty of spares with you. Unfortunately we have got this stretch booked again tomorrow ????

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.

Not to bad low conditions

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.
