Fished White House on Monday 11th March for 3 hours without a bite. Bitterly cold upstream wind made fishing very uncomfortable. River was fishable. Returned Wednesday 13th March for second session. Cold but wind had dropped. Three Chub on luncheon meat around 2lb made the trip worthwhile. Look forward to returning again later in the year.

3 Chub

We fished 2 swims just below the point. River was very low so there were not a lot of accessible swims. Fished with pellets on a feeder and had one barbel (7lb) and 2 chub (3lb each). Tried several other baits but without any luck.
This is a stunning stretch of river with great access. It would have been nice to see more swims cut out along the beat however would recommend this stretch to anyone.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Another challenging but very enjoyable day on Whitney Court. Very low, clear and cold is always going to make things a little tricky. Fortunately the pike were game during the day and I managed a couple of low doubles. The chub then came out to play in the last hour before dark. Saw a juvenile otter when we first arrived and had a large dog otter scare the living daylights out of me just as it was getting dark.

2 Chub, 3 Pike

Very cold day. Unfortunately no fish Barbel or Pike.

Unfortuantely no fish caught this time but worth another try at some point during the summer.

Caught 1 small trout on red maggot feeder. Bloody freezing!

River was spot on but the weather had been so changeable and freezing at night. Fished the whole stretch top to bottom on maggot feeder and float and didn't sniff a bite all day. Finally moved to Holme Lacey and blanked there too, that's fishing!!

A fairly short fishing sesssion today was more of an endurance test than a pleasure, in what must be coldest conditions we have ever fished in. One 3lb chub caught on pellet was a bonus in these conditions and more than I expected.

Unfortunately no fish caught on a bitterly cold day coupled with intermitant snow showers. Looks like a place to return to in the warmer months!

My brother and I ventured down to White House, though I was the only one to wet a line. River slighly up, not too coloured - strong NE wind, blowing upstream combined with the general temperature made for a cold few hours.
Given the temperatures, I decided not to go for the usual pellet approach and instead fished a smallish feeder with maggots. Had a bite a cast, but only managed to hook and land two dace. Speed of reaction was somewhat impaired by wrestling with the rather cumbersome gloves required to keep my hands warm!
My brother had departed about mid-day, after a sleep in the car - the prospect of sitting in the warm, watching the rugby seemed a much better alternative and I left about 1.30pm.
Despite the conditions it was really nice to be back out on the Wye again, watching the activity in the fields opposite and the Buzzards wheeling about up above. Bring on the summer!
