Feedback & Reports

Upstream section very limited for swims.
First swim of downstream section produced 3 barbel to 7.4lbs and 3 chub further down. I had 2 barbel and 2 chub plus lost 2 barbel bites on corn, best using time bomb filled with corn. More bites than using pellets.

5 Barbel, 5 Chub

Very nice venue. River low and clear, only 2 barbel all day but another 5 after 7pm when they seemed to switch on. Will be back.

Just to confirm reports of other anglers on the beat (see 3 July feedback). We fished on 30th June and had the same experience - 2 salmon anglers turned up to fish. Nice guys and had a good chat etc. One said he would try for some barbel as the salmon prospects were no good - he didn't and they both subsequently left. It wasn't a big deal but it could have been if they had fished where we wanted to. If the owner wants to let others fish, then that's his right but it should be clearly stated and the price amended accordingly.

Lovely looking stretch with faster shallow water and deeper slower glides. Fished pellet feeder and waggler but struggled to catch during the day with only 1 chub and 1 barbel between us. Had 5 barbel in the evening once the sun was off the water.

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

Same pattern as previous day, this time 3 barbel to 6.5lb in the late evening.

3 Barbel

Fished the morning and caught 7 barbel on feeder and pellet in the bottom swim.

Bright and sunny. 4 barbel hooked in the first hour and then they switched off completely. The chub continued to feed sporadically.

3 Barbel, 10 Chub

Great place to fish. Bank sides are rather treacherous in places and I fell numerous times on the way back to car. The fishing itself was a little fickle and the barbel weren't really on the feed that well but the chub munched all day long. Biggest was 5lb 1oz and biggest barbel was 8lb 1oz.

The first time I have ever fished the Wye and what a river! The fish were in excellent condition and so was the river. We caught chub and barbel from both stretches during our trip, with my mate catching a 10.5lb barbel which made our trip.
We will be back soon!

Two barbel and two chub on feeder-fished sausage sizzle squabs over hemp and pellet. Great looking stretch of river but the fishing was a little slow compared to my two days on other beats on the previous week. Water was at normal summer levels and was fairly clear.
