Feedback & Reports

River low and clear. Weather bright, sunny and freezing cold Northerly wind. Highly conducive to staying in bed and not fishing but tried all the same to no avail. Foul hooked a minnow up the bottom and watched a motionless tip for about 4 hours in 3 different swims before retiring to warmer areas.

2 Chub caught on pellets with a feeder, both were a good size one at 4lbs and the other just under 5lbs.

Tough conditions with low clear water and a strong biting cold wind. The sudden drop in temperature appears to have put the fish off the feed. Several swims were fished at the top and bottom ends of the fishery, but neither of us managed a bite.

River low and clear, sunny spells and windy. Struggled to find the fish in these conditions but we all enjoyed the day in this scenic spot

We used one rod to target barbel with a feeder and the other trotting stick float with maggots. While we had no luck on feeder there was plenty of action on the float, catching mostly good sized dace and a few chub. Overall good day fishing.

A mid afternoon to evening session in bight, cold and blustery conditions, no bites and no fish seen...not even the usually obliging Wye chub..very strange..!

Slightly colder air & water temperature with quite a brisk breeze today , whipping up a few waves on the water. Sunshine & very clear water all made things difficult . When the wind dropped at about 5pm we had a few bites with one decent barbel of about 9-10lbs.
An extended lunch break was called for & what a beautiful place to have it. Swans were in good form with regular RAF style fly pasts, Kingfishers busy in the sheltered 'backs' & still a flock of Sand martins doing the circuit. There was a good hatch 5pmish when the wind dropped & even a couple of trout rising. We saw a cormorant very,very high up suddenly go into a 'stoop'-type dive, twisting & turning as he fell, down to the far bend in the river; I didn't know they could enjoy themselves...they always seem to be slowly flapping from A to B looking rather depressed.
Good day all round despite the lack of bites early on. If I had a memory I would have remembered the strand of barbed wire stretched across the top of the exit gate; Difficult to see in the dark & things do bleed as you get older.
Thanks all once again for these opportunities.

River was low and clear. Short session from 3 to 6.30. Beautiful stretch and some great fish put on the bank.
