Feedback & Reports

Very hot day. Tried 3 swims had Chub from 2 swims totaling 16 all a good size to 4lb 8oz best of the day. Barbel just didn't seem to come on the feed today. All on feeder. Water was still drop off a tad. Pack up at 19.00

Decided last minute to make a wye trip as the weather forecast looks set to get very hot. River appeared in good condition, flowing well with some colour but dropping through the day. Started in Legg Meadow, fished a couple of swims there but all i could find were 3 eels in the first swim and a couple of chub in the second. Around 11.30 i moved down to the woods and whilst the old swim i fondly remember there now appears to be gone, a little further downstream there's an old croy that i could just about get on to. The chub were ravenous down there and i had eight in total. I even had one on the trotting rod. Mostly to meat but also had them on pellet. Couldn't locate any barbel today. The wood swim was really snaggy and i lost a bit of gear down there but most casts produced a bite. Packed up at 3pm, potentially staying later might have seen a better return but had things to do. A very satisfactory day though in beautiful surroundings and nice to see to very contrasting pegs on the river. Thanks to the owner and WUF.

The river was a lovely colour and looked perfect.
The four of us all caught chub with the barbel shared between two anglers to 7lb 4oz.we all float fished pellet waggler.
The swim choice on this stretch is particularly good and I would like to thank the landowner for the work that has been put in strimming and making easy access to the river.most of the other beats need to follow his example.
Thanks for a lovely day.

River level dropping and water clearing. Only need half oz lead to hold bottom, in contrast to yesterday. Fished morning and evening. 3 Chub around 1lb 8oz on boilie all in the last golden hour at sunset. Where have all the Barbel gone?

Another hot day. Didn't start till 9.30am breakfast at Inn on Wye too good to miss as I am on a fishing holiday so stayed on Fishery Until 20.30hrs. Obviously missing a early start meant being patient in the heat but early afternoon into evening was rewarded with 3 Barbel 7lb 2oz, 7lb 4oz and small one of about 1lb. An accumulation 7 Chub followed, best was 4lb 4oz just spawned, others were all in and around 3lb. Got a little greedy if I am honest as thinking late evening Barbel would move in. Tried various haired baits but for me Krill always seems to be best overall. 3 different swims today. All fish came from last choice fabulous swim. Bumped into Adam who was on his rounds so got to say hello. All in all another cracking day with some good fish in an AMAZING setting.

Very early start. Rewarded with 7lb Chub, and 3 other Chub (all over 4lb) before 11 am. 8lb and 5lb Barbel caught between noon and 1pm.
All fish caught on either meat or pellet.
River in superb condition, coloured and fining down. Levels dropped by a good 20 cm during session.
Aside from wading, is there anyway to access the left hand bank?
