Feedback & Reports

Tough days fishing, the water was very low. We were catching a few fish until some guys set up up on the opposite bank, then the bites dried right up for the rest of the day!! I've been to this beat many times and have never had anyone fishing opposite. I thought we had this stretch all to our selves as we're paying a lot for the day ticket! Will check with Don to see if they were supposed to be fishing there but it has made me think twice about booking this stretch again, especially if people can fish the opposite bank!
WUF Note: On single bank beats such as Wyebank there is always a chance that people will be fishing opposite you. If this is of concern, please check the website or Passport booklet before booking - there are plenty of double bank beats to choose from.

Lovely beat. Was dead all day and I really struggled. All the fish were taken from 6 till 7.15. Packed up at half past due to long day and probably would have caught more if I had stayed. All the fish were on cut down boilies and feeder. My advice would be if you're fishing Saturdays or Sundays - start later in the afternoon. Got wiped out by canoes countless times.

The river was lower then the previous week and therefore din't hold so many barbell although the chub were very hungry as usual. Feeder and pellet was the method used. The largest barbel was 7lbs 8oz the others around the 4lb mark. Need some rain to increase river level.

Once again the river was lower than the last visit. The barbel were all around the 4lb mark with a couple 14" fish. The chub were all the normal 2-3 lb mark although did catch a warrior chub of 4lbs 13oz. The biggest surprise was a monster chub of 6lbs 2oz - a beautiful fish. Will be much larger in the winter. Stunning!

First time on this beat enjoyed a pub lunch at the pub overlooking the beat then fished with my son from 2:30pm - 7:30pm. Some of the hardest fighting barbel ever up to 8lb caught on groundbait and pellet in swimfeeder. Really great day thank you. Lost several fish also due to hook pulls.

Great place to fish. Bank sides are rather treacherous in places and I fell numerous times on the way back to car. The fishing itself was a little fickle and the barbel weren't really on the feed that well but the chub munched all day long. Biggest was 5lb 1oz and biggest barbel was 8lb 1oz.

Fishing was tough with the quantity of kayaks and canoes around from 10am until 3.30pm but the chub fed very well. Biggest was 5lb 1oz and biggest barbel being 8lb 2oz. All fish fell to feeder fished pellets and boilies. Fished last swim on the beat into the edge of the fast water. Best action in the evening. Lovely venue but tread carefully when leaving. I fell badly a few times on the walk back as the path is very slippery and narrow.
