Feedback & Reports

Fished two sessions, morning and late afternoon/evening.
River rising and very coloured. Landed 5 barbel and about 12 chub.

Nice location, though not easy to find. Drive through the
willow tree! Spent most of the day at the bridge swim. Took 6 barbel & 2 chub. Lovely quiet part of the river - we will be back!

Fished the lower end of the fishery. 9 barbel & 2 chub - best barbel 8 lbs plus. Lots of bottom weed which ended in one or two losses. Perhaps the most memorable part of the day was during the afternoon when we were caught in the most horrendous storm with lightning bolts hitting all around us. Needless to say we dropped the rods and took cover under our brollies. It didn't seem to put the fish off though!

1 barbel - 9lb, 1 eel on pellet - 3.5lb, 1 chub - 3lb. Very quiet, but river was rising and thunderstorms killed off the fishing.

21 Barbel 5 Chub 2 Roach 3 Dace on pellet meat and corn.

1 rainbow trout gold head nymph (returned).
1 brown trout black gnat dry fly (returned).

3 barbel & 2 chub. River at normal height. A number of Salmon showing.

Had another great day's sport on the Holme Lacy beat. Over the course of around 8 hours fishing I caught 6 Barbel to 7.5lb and 19 chub to 4.5lb....

Fished the Wyebank beat with friend, conditions were clear water and back to normal levels. Enjoyed a good day - caught 9 barbel but also lost about nine as well, had hook pulls, weeded fish and cut off on an annoying big rock that had to fish past to get to them. We also had 5 chub. All fish caught on halibut pellets with mesh pva bags and feeding more at regular intervals. Fished the last swim at bottom of the beat mid river in a deeper pool, morning best but got regular bites after 2pm through the afternoon.

Arrived at 7am full of anticipation as always wanted to fish this beat. Fished Legge Meadow roughly half way down. Baited my fancied swim & went for a wander, river looked superb & it really is a great stretch to be on.
Started fishing at 9-00 & hooked my first barbel at 9.20,a superb specimen at 8lb 3oz which fought like hell. 15 mins later landed a lovely chub which weighed 3lb 10oz.
Caught on & off until 2.45 when the river switched off. I ended up with 4 barbel (8lb 3oz,8lb, 6lb, 10oz, 5lb 6oz)plus 3 chub.
Stayed on till 7 pm without a bite after 3 pm
On the plus side,great service again from Wuf,superb beat,unbeatable scenery.
Now i,m sorry to say the down side,the bloody canoes.
As a fisherman i respect the rights of everyone to enjoy the glorious Wye but the canoe traffic was really heavy with waves & waves of muppets coming down the river,shouting,splashing with no regard for others.
At one point 6 canoeists (Polish or Lithuanian )paddled right up to me to ask for a light as they had lost their lighter,off they went discarding 3 beer cans into the river...unbelievable !!.
