Feedback & Reports

Weather hot, river low. Fished middle section river stuffed full of chub, lost count of how many caught. 10 barbel - good considering how bright it was. Various baits used - pellet, corn, luncheon meat, cheese. Had a super day, many thanks Wye & Usk.

p.s. someone left a big bag of rubbish by the car pull in where the stile is. TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME!!! Otherwise valuable fisheries like this will be lost.

Excuses: firstly, low clear river, blue skys and very hot. Not great conditions so we didn't arrive until 12pm. Then things got interesting to say the least!! A young lady was walking her dog as we drove to the bottom of the beat only to strip off before putting on a cossy and having a swim in the pool at the end. Thank you Wye & Usk - do we owe you any extra money for above entertainment??
p.s. fishing great considering conditions with plenty of chub plus 3 barbel as the sun dropped away. Great beat, will be back soon.

1st time on the Wye. Weather very hot and sunny and the river a little low. Hard fishing with a single chub being the only decent fish landed between 2 rods.

Steep walk to the fishery - some nice swims first part of the river, then very inaccessible except for one swim at the end. Managed four chub on pellets during a short evening session. Many thanks- lovely river

Caught five barbel and one chub, all on halibut pellets. Found it tough going during the day when it was hot, bright and sunny. Clouded over in afternoon when the barbel showed up, all in very good condition!

An early start found the fish queing up, chub at first but then the barbel moved in and I finished a hectic early morning session with 9 barbel to just under 7lb and 6 chub to 3lb, all on simple pellet and feeder tactics. Despite the low water levels this is a very pacey stretch and the barbel make good use of it.
Fishing early and/or late is the key at this time of year as bites petered out by 09:30 and by the time I left at 10:00 the canoes and kayaks were everywhere,including pulled out onto the bank!

Liked this beat. No barbel but 6 x chub to 4½lb. Will return again to this beat when there is a bit more water

A hard day. Only 5 barbel between 4 rods plus a couple of chub. No bites till evening. Bait: pellet.

Excellent directions, a nice beat with easy access to the water. Very quiet during the day with a few small chub. Things improved towards the evening with four barbel and a small trout all to pellets and feeder. Very nice day - thank you very much.

Excellent day. Fished various swims and had plenty of Chub plus 10 Barbel up to around 7.5lb. Used large pellet on the hook and smaller pellet in the feeder. Thanks very much for a very enjoyable day.
