Feedback & Reports

O.k, arrived about midday to find a hired van parked in the usual parking space and sure enough there was 2 guys fishing with all the gear with no tickets, not impressed! They packed up and guessing they probably been fishing here all week along with the foreign speaking fisherman in the last feedback . Having fished about 10 different beats I haven't seen any bailiffs or private WUF signs at all which I think is a must to deter people from abusing these lovely beats. Sorry to have a moan but my local club has this in place and it works. Anyway, caught some nice big chub on meat in nice clear water conditions.
WUF Note: We were very sorry to hear about this experience. Coming across poachers is, unfortunately, a risk on any fishery, however many signs are put up. There is little that can be done about these incidents several days afterwards. We therefore urge anglers to call the EA/NRW incident line (0800 80 70 60) immediately if you come across people fishing illegally or without permission. If the incident is on a Passport beat, please also report it to us as soon as you can on 01874 712074. If you feel threatened in any way, please call the police on 101 or 999. Advice on poaching incidents is given in the “What To Do Guide” issued with every booking.

Fished the bottom of the wood and field below, started on the float with bread before putting some bait in for barbel. Did not have a single bite off anything on any of the swims I tried. River low and clear.

With the weather very mild I arrived to a very low and clear river and as a consequence suspected that a struggle may be on the cards...however the barbel and chub were very much active with fish coming throughout the day all to the usual methods, tried trotting for a while but the fish appeared to really be responding to the dinner bell effect of the feeder.!
Barbel all between 5lb and 8lb and chub to 4lb A fantastic days fishing on an outstanding stretch of the river Wye.

Fished from 12pm until dusk. Great coarse fishing. Five chub and two barbel. Would recommend this venue. Easy to book with good directions on the website. Very nice surroundings. Many thanks. Steve.

River low and clear fishing hard.

The water was very low and crystal clear. We fished all day - not even a nibble.
