Feedback & Reports

Despite a tough days fishing the stretch is beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed the day. I was however very disappointed by the access, I'd specifically phoned and asked about the walk from the car as this was a gift for my Dad, and it was really quite tricky to navigate for him. I understand that the banks etc are impossible to maintain with the rivers variable levels, but feel we were miss lead by the comments and in hindsight would have booked a different we'd been properly informed. Recommend the stretch just be aware it's not 'excellent access'.

Fishing Passport Note : While a rising rivers always cause issues with access, we are reviewing the Wyebank beat description with the fishery owner and will make any necessary changes in due course. It is not always possible to know about changes in access conditions so feedback from customers such as this is extremely useful.

Excellent day on a great beat. Normal hotspots not available due to river condition. Biggest barbel 8.2. Grateful to my experienced colleague who provided excellent advice and support!

A very good day fishing. Some very nice fish and good company. Thought I may not make it up the hill to get to the car but thankfully did!

Had a great day on this well maintained beat, both caught some nice barbel up to around 8-9lbs with most around 7lbs. Several fish lost to hook pulls in the strong flow, good to speak to Andy the keeper. Dont quite know why we left it 3 years since our last visit but very much looking forward to returning here next trip.

Really lovely day at the Creel. Fished two new swims for me this time. Tried the fast water upstream in the morning, had a couple of nice chub but not any barbel. Too quiet, not many knocks, maybe better there early season. Moved to lower meadow in the afternoon, nice mid pace swim, bit of white water and plenty of far side cover, caught steadily for the rest of the day on feeder and balsa. Had a barbel second chuck, good sign. All chub on the float fished meat, not a single chub on the feeder. All the barbel came to feeder fished boilie and oozing pellets. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, wild life as always was amazing. Not many canoes either, the ones that came past were extremely pleasant.

Same conditions as yesterday. 4 beautiful barbel 3 of which were 11lb+ 8 chub the biggest being 4lb and an eel. Great trip seemed with some of the nicest barbel so far. Fished on pellet and luncheon meat over feeder pellets and hemp.
