Feedback & Reports

A lovely if not tiring day on a lovely venue. Plenty of Roach, Rudd, Chub and Perch caught on the float. The day was somewhat frustrating though by the fact that I couldn't get any Carp to the net.( I lost three )
Didnt see a soul all day, perfect many thanks again to the WUF.

Five chub taken, best six pounds over six hours fishing. One rather small with remainder averaging three pounds. River too full and fast to fish successfully for barbel although this was the intended species when booking made. Bait varied including boilies / bread / luncheon meat. All fish taken on the meat. River level slightly above summer level, only slightly peat coloured but very fast flowing. Fishing challenging but the terrific condition of the chub a reward in itself.

Bit of a struggle today, not as good as this beat usually is. Barbel, chub and dace to float and feeder tactics.

We had another excellent days fishing, the river was in perfect condition. We fished several swims along the beat. J finished with 19 barbel and 2 chub, I finished with 13 barbel and 2 chub. The barbel were of good stamp 5lb to 8.5lb, the chub were up to 4lb. Thank you WUF for a first class service and a fantastic fishery.

More difficult than normal but four Chub and three Barbel. Still enjoyable as usual to be on the Wye. Fish mostly on Prawn and Shrimp boilie and a couple on 12mm pellets.
Parking a bit tricky as still pretty boggy inside the gate. Also watch out for grounding the car when leaving to join the road as there is a ridge. Will bring car with higher clearance next time!

River dropping. Managed 1 barbel, 1 chub and 1 eel.

12 barbel caught, 10 from one swim near top of length, caught on a mixture of halibut, elips and crab pellets. If fishing this length, don't bother with the bottom access as there are very few spots you can get to the river. The section marked as a wood has now been cut down and consists mainly of impenetrable scrub. We half expected to meet Dr Livingston and a team of native porters. Forunately access at the top of the length is good.

Chub and 2 good Barbel. Lovely days fishing. Thanks.

A lovely day out on a beautiful length of river. Middle section very overgrown but more than enough swims to choose from. Banks are very slippery so take care, managed quite a few fish to around 8lbs. Great day out.

Arrived just before sunrise and decided to fish the meadow. The river looked spot on with a nice bit of colour and after a cup of tea and a bacon roll on the stove we settled into our pegs, several biteless hours later we were beginning to wonder what we were doing wrong as nothing we tried seemed to work. We decided to move and opted for the steps pegs where we were met with the same biteless responce. After being relieved of a few feeders and hook lenths we decided to go back to the meadow and take our chances into the evening. The sun was high in the sky at this point and our hopes of catching were diving but after a bit of casting around a fish was finally on the bank of around 6lb another two hours past before the next bite and a barbel of around 3lb started a run of fish which included a fish of 10 lb 1oz as well as two 9s. All in all 8 fish landed and two lost. 12mm pellets acounting for all.
On a final note although all the fish seemed fit and healthy some were showing signs of mouth damage, one in particular which was still carrying a complete braided hooklength was a bit of a mess which was a bit sad to see. Not a fan of low diameter braided hooklengths myself, its as good as cheese wire. Looking forward to a trip later in the year.
