Feedback & Reports

A frustrating start to the days fishing with anglers fishing from the opposite bank wading out and casting up close to pegs on the How Caple Court stretch, who then insisted that 1 of the rods in our party could not fish his selected peg as the fisherman/"poacher" from the other bank was fishing it for the following reasons 1. it was to shallow on his side 2. he claims to pay £500 a year to fish his stretch!!! Attempted to contact Wye & Usk on the 01982 560 788 number but was unable to get an answer !!!!
A few Barbel & Chub did eventual show later in the day.
WUF could really do with providing a number that can be answered over the weekend so these sorts of incidents can be reported ASAP and assistance sought from the baliff of the stretch.

River low & clear so decided to floatfish for the early part of the day. Both rods caught loads of dace plus the odd chub to 4lb. Tried the pellet feeder towards evening with no success. Lovely stretch and would return for the dace fishing alone.

This was our last day on the fabulous river Wye before the journey south to Jersey. Again we were met by another bright and sunny day with clear water which made it a very pleasent day. A total of 4 barbel and a couple of chub landed from a late start and early finish.
Thank you for allowing us access to these wonderful stretches of this great river.

An stunningly beautiful stretch of river but fishing was slow (may have had wrong approach) as we only fished three swims, one 5lb8oz chub made the wait worthwhile.

A bright and warm day with river low and clear made conditions difficult. However 3 barbel and two chub were caught - best barbel at just 8lbs.

Wonderfull to be back on the river after twelve months,
no rivers in Jersey. 3 barbel caught and one lost straightening the hook, for us a good start on the river.

Lovely stretch of river. Fishing very slow. We had one small chub on pellet between the two of us. Highlight of the day was some chap from an adjacent caravan site walking his springer spaniel that left a nice big deposit at the top of my swim! We packed up at one and went to visit Monmouth.

Perfect conditions only fished 09:00 to 16:00, two barbel both around 8lb taken on pellet.

Another lovely day out on the Wye, bright ccnditions did not help fishing but a few Barbel to around 7lb graced my net on a variety of baits.

Another cracking day on the Wye with river and weather both in fine form. First time on this beat so I fished all bar 2 of the 11/12 swims along this beat whilst my fishing partner stayed put in one. Caught barbel out of 5 different swims on 4 different baits and strangely only had one chub, although its was a good fish at 4lbs 12oz.
Ended up with 11 barbel between us up to 9-10lbs. My mate also had fun with the dace (and bleak!).
