Feedback & Reports

Did not fish as access to the riverbank is a joke £25 for nothing but hardship unless you are athletic and young I fail to see how anyone can fish this beat safely. Never again.

We arrived at the lower end of the fishery parked in the lay-by and walked across the field to the river which was up and coloured. David caught two 7lb Barbel on hair rigged sweet corn and I caught two 11b Barbel on maggot feeder, also a Roach and a Gudgeon. Thanks Wye and Usk.

Day one: 16 pound pike. Day two: One small Barbel. We were informed that a Large otter is on your Beat, eating your stocks of barbel so therefore was not impressed with your beat. We never saw anybody in the two days we fished

1 Barbel, 1 Pike

After early morning rain, the weather conditions were good and the river looked in good condition. PD caught 4 Barbel to 9lbs AH caught 4 Barbel to 8.5 lbs Allfish in peak condition. All caught on Feeder and assorted pellets.

8 Barbel

River slowly rising, fish mainly caught on corn, barbel up to 8.5lb and also down to 1.5lb. Chub up to 4lb

13 Barbel, 5 Chub

A lovely stretch of the river with easy access but no fish on this occasion. Fished several spots with feeder and pellet.

Water level rose considerably during the day and the strong flow and constant stream of debris made for difficult fishing conditions. These improved slightly in the late afternoon when the barrage of weed etc abated. 2 of the barbel (one of 9.5lbs) caught on meat (on the hair) and all other fish on pellet. Everything considered, a good result.

The river was partly over the cribs which provided some nice "crease" swims. Found the fish by moving around several times, in between the heavy rain. Heavy feeders again and pellets for the barbel (and 1 eel) and some chub on sweetcorn. A nice but wet day.

Arrived to a overcast mild day with the river carrying a little colour and looking in perfect condition. We started on the middle to upper stretch alternating between feeder fished maggots, caster and hemp and trotting on the pin, many small chub and dace present. A switch to pellet feeder at midday bought the barbel on the feed with several fish to 9lb falling to our rods, all were in fin perfect condition and looked like they had never been caught before, a solitary chub at 51b 2oz was a welcome addition.
A switch to big rubber lures during the last hour of light provided two perch at around the 2lb mark.
Yet another really enjoyable days fishing on the brilliant river Wye.
