Feedback & Reports

Fished 6am to 1pm the middle to lower part of the stretch. Very slow morning with only 3 bites.
The one barbel was around 7lb, caught on pellet.
Not fished this stretch for a number of years and was disappointed to see that many over hanging trees have been taken out. More, easier access pegs, but lacking a lot of the original character.

Good conditions but high water temp. made for a difficult day with ten swims tried between the three of us. We all landed a Barbel each ranging from 4 and a half to just over 7lbs. with three fish lost to hook pulls etc. Chub taken on meat on the lead and bread on the float, Barbel = 2 on meat 1 = Red Robin pellet. Other was an Eel on meat. Noticed a lot of trees have been removed, easy access? easy fishing? completely changed the aspect of several swim I'm afraid.

A beautiful beat. The barbel were hard to find but did manage to find 2 at around 7lb. The chub were 2-5lb. All on meat and sweetcorn. The owner is very friendly and gave some some helpful advice.

A hard day’s fishing!
Very hot and bright. Nothing from the lower section in the morning and nothing from the upper section in the afternoon!
All methods and baits tried. Pellet and meat on the feeder and trotting.
Late afternoon on the middle section of the beat produced one chub of 4lb and one barbel of 8lb 12oz. Both the meat pellet.
Possibly the most beautiful beat of The Wye though!
