Feedback & Reports

Guided R on the beat last year and he caught some huge barbel and he wanted a repeat session this year. I also guided him on Wyebank last year where he caught 32 barbel in a day!

He brought along his young lad Dominic for the day. Richard caught a good few chub and barbel. He even allowed his lad to land his first barbel of 6lbs 9oz. Richard landed a beautiful 8lbs 12oz barbel. Plenty of chub to 3lbs 12oz were landed. A few fish were lost due to the hook links being parted on sharp rocks.

As normal the fish came early in the morning and late in the afternoon. A great days fishing.

4 Barbel, 8 Chub

River low and clear. Fished all day with pellet, both rods blanked. Busy with anglers on opposite bank, loud chatting.
Disappointing day but beautiful surroundings.

Another nice day on this beat, river was a bit lower and clearer than last week, had one barbel early on, then had a good last couple of hours with some more barbel and a chub of 5lb 10oz.

River low and clear, warm dry day, all fish to pellet. Found a n abandoned rod and reel and assorted litter, presumably evidence of poachers night fishing the previous evening. Think it would be worth stepping up patrols on this stretch. I've it fished many times, never been asked for ticket.

4 Barbel, 4 Chub

A great evening, started fishing about sixish and packed up at about eightish, having caught a good size Barbel, and four sizable chub all above two pounds. Fished on luncheon meat.
Out of all the beats that I have fished on the Wye I think that this is the best, the farmer has cut steps into the bank and there are quite a few accessible swims.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

A warm and bright day, with water low and clear, it was difficult at first but we started to catch late in the afternoon from a couple of swims. A good chat and advice from Colin the ghillie helped (good guy) and we finished with some nice chub to 4lb and barbel to 9lb+. Lovely area and stretch of water. Hope to return soon. Thanks to Seth at WUF for help with late booking on the Friday.

The river looked very low for this beat and it proved tough going. Sadly we had to leave early so missed the best part if the day given the conditions.

The river was low and clear, so we headed for the lower end of the beat where the fast water was (indicated in previous catch reports-producing fish). Lechmere's pool also showed signs of a good head of fish too but this was to be the back-up area if the lower beat didn't produce. To say the chub were jumping up the rod was a understatement! It was incredible, with lightening fast bites on banded pellet on swim feeder methods instantly. Fishing from 3pm until dark, the sport was fantastic on a truly awesome beat. Impeccably kept and a real jewel in the WUF crown. I want to pack in work and live there in the hut!
