Feedback & Reports

Another very enjoyable fish at the Wyebank beat. Fished bottom pool all day till around 5pm. Caught 3 barbel and 1 chub all around the 3lb mark on pellets and caught in the afternoon. Decided to get my waders on and fish the top end of the beat, free-lining meat on lighter float gear using a pin. I'm very glad I did as it produced four excellent chub in the 4lb range, putting up a great fight in the shallow fast waters. This is a excellent venue for all types of tactics and would urge fishermen to take advantage of warm temperature and low water conditions while its available.
Thanks again Don.

3 Barbel, 5 Chub

River very low which meant that only one swim was really fishable so shared it. 5 barbel to 6.6 lbs and 5 chub to one rod and 3 barbel to the other. Chub were caught on meat and barbel on small pellet. This would be a good stretch for 2 with another foot or two on it.

Had a rather frustrating day as my 86yr old Dad wanted to come with me, meaning there was only one swim that we could get to. Still had a nice day though - I will definitely come back to fish the better swims.

Had a 4/5lb barbel and an eel on boillie and pellet. Good day out though busy with canoes as expected before dusk.

This was the first time I've fished the Wye for barbel and overall I'm really impressed with the quality of fishing, the ease of booking and the really friendly bailiff that greeted me. It was really nice coarse fishing for barbel while a salmon angler was wandering up and down casting a fly in all the pools - not something we ever see in deepest, darkest Oxfordshire.

Once again, what can I say but a great days fishing. 6 barbel to 7lb plus 5 chub and one eel. Many thanks to Don and to Wye and Usk.

Nice days fishing - 5 barbel up to 7lb plus 14 chub. Lost a huge fish too. Looking forward to next year. Many thanks to Don.

A difficult day on this water with heavy rain for several hours making the pathway difficult. One of us fished the end peg all day for 6 chub and 1 small barbel while the other used roving method for a less than successful single chub. River came up several inches during the afternoon.

Water was low but the fishing was slow. Still had a good day.
