Feedback & Reports

We only fished the afternoon, and low levels made it tricky, but we had plenty of chub to 6.2lb and a single barbel at last knocking...

1 Barbel, 10 Chub

Arrived around midday and selected one of the last pegs that was fishable.

River was low and approx 4ft deep in the middle. Second chuck and the rod wrapped around for a 7lb barbel, an hour later another was in the landing net at 5lb. Both taken on garlic pellet over ground bait feeder.

A few chub taken over the course of the afternoon and then we both lost barbel towards the end of the session.

First time on the Wye and I must say I was quite disappointed with this beat despite it being 2/3rds of a mile in length. There are literally three swims you can fish from and two of those would be treacherous in wet weather. Not for the feint hearted or angler with mobility issues.

We stayed at The Annexe (Stay by the Wye) in Hole in the Wall which I can highly recommend.

Really enjoyable day but fish hard to come by, fished beat 2 & 4 float fished flake and touch ledgered mini boilies.

Overcast, humid, drizzly, river a nice colour..but save for a couple of chub the morning was uneventful...odd. Then the sun came out, I expected the worst but from then I caught on-and-off for the rest of the day til I ran out of bait.

All barbel on the float. Chub on everything, anywhere

4 Barbel, 40 Chub

Beautiful lake with great wildlife including kingfishers.

Didn't catch much apart from a couple of roach, and only saw 2 carp moving all day. Weather was calm with periods of light rain. Float fished and ledgered sweetcorn.

The River had great colour although wasn't as high as I had hoped; I guess the recent rain wasn't in the mountains. It was a challenge to find the Barbel but eventually found 5. Three at 6lb+ the others around 4lb. All the Chub were around the 3lb mark.
