Feedback & Reports

A last minute booking by phone, glad I did! Arrived 5:30 and had a barbel on the bank within 20 minutes (8lb). Two more barbel towards dusk (2.5lb and 7lb). 2oz Feeder (3mm halibut pellets and groundbait with a glug of halibut attractant) with twin 14mm halibut pellet on a hair, long hooklink. Quite a bit of weed but river now quite low (according to Don).
Thanks to Don for his advice on where to fish, and for helping cart some gear along the bank for me! Superb evening - back soon!

8 barbel landed between 7 and 8.5lb. All the fish were caught towards the top of the beat. All in excellent condition.

Two Chub 3lbs 14oz and 4lbs 11oz total catch from a fishery that didn't match its discription in the Passport. Only top two fields fishable the rest inexcessable. I would reccomend that before the next Passport is published a more realistic write up for the fishery is established so that more travelling anglers like ourselves have a more accurate discription of what to expect. Would not book or reccomend this fishery as it dose not offer value for money.

Fished Wyebank from 7.00 am to 10.30 pm. River dropping with very little colour. B H had 1 barbel 6lb and a couple of chub from Old Wharf. All fish taken on meat. I W had 2 barbel 5lbs and 6.5lbs, two chub and an eel from crib above Wyebank pool. Fish caught on meat and pellets. Anyone fishing on an extremely low river at Wyebank would do well to wade out and cast underneath the far bushes seems like a likely place for barbel to hold up.

Great to be back on the Wye and another lovely beat, a day more suited to sunbathing than fishing but it beats working! 11 Barbel to 9lb 12oz and 3 Chub. The Barbel really started feeding as the sun went down, unfortunately we had to leave to check in to our B&B in time for dinner. Great day thanks W&UF!

Note to WUF: Would it be possible to add postcodes to the dayticket documents as some of these beats are very tricky to find?

Great day on Middle Hill. Fishing very slow, 5 Barbel in region of 5 to 6 pounds. Great stretch, will be back soon. Thanks for the advise Adam.

Fishing poor, could do with a map marking good spots as one day fishing is no time to learn where to fish.

9 Barbel, 4 chub all caught an pellets. Biggest barbel 9lb 8ozs, biggest chub 4lb 4ozs.

17 Barbel 7 Chub on pellet. Main of the catch from the top end of the weir garden. Lost a lot of tackle.

Hot, sunny day which probably accounted for slow sport until late afternoon/early evening. Two rods caught 8 superbly conditioned barbel between 6-8 pounds and 8 chub up to just under 5 pounds. River at good Summer level with nice pace and a tinge of colour. Most fish came from croys at top end of the fishery to pellet baits.
