Feedback & Reports

Fished the left bank, the river was fairly high and fast with the water reaching the bottom step of the swim i chose. I decided a 40z inline leger would do the trick and soon discovered the Wye in flood is a force to be reckoned with. I found a large eddy and offered up meat, boillies and pellets, all to no avail and returned home after 6 hours suitably chastened.

Cold and hard fishing. Tried various swims but no bites all day.

Seems like a difficult stretch but it was a very cold morning. Tried all good looking spots with meat but only managed 2 small chub. It maybe a summer/autumn stretch?

2 Chub

We turned up early morning to find the river was still tanking through from the heavy rain earlier in the week. Our initial target species was pike but due to the conditions we opted to target the barbel instead. We walked the stretch initially and baited 6 swims with pellet and boilie with the plan to spend a couple hours in each spot. Bites came very quickly with all fish coming on boilie and pellet hook-baits fished right in the edge on feeder tactics.
One criticism of the stretch was the state of the pegs which in some cases resembled a muddy slide and were too dangerous to fish.This meant that we could only really target the top half of the reach safely. For the cost of the ticket this was pretty unacceptable.

2 Barbel, 4 Chub

Fishing for Pike, but they weren't really biting. Although the level had dropped since the heavy rain at the start of the week the water was still a little pacy and coloured.
Fishing static deadbait, giving each swim half an hour before moving. Got one run mid afternoon, but unfortunately missed my only chance of a fish.

Lure fishing but blanked!

Unable to fish due to adverse weather conditions.

This was our first visit to this stretch and we were impressed with the surroundings, as it runs beneath Goodrich Castle. It really is a beautiful section of the Wye, but sadly the fishing was difficult once again. We spent all day in 2 established swims about two thirds of the way down the beat. A very small Chub and a 4lb Barbel were the only 2 bites all day. We'll be back again next year though.........can't wait!

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Just the one pike was caught approx 5lb. Think the flow was a bit strong after the rain fall on Thursday but a lovely place and will be going back.

1 Pike

Blank session, river in perfect condition but no catch.
