Feedback & Reports

A cooler, cloudier day than forecast so, despite a low river, prospects were reasonable. Fished on the bottom with a small feeder and caught the first barbel and a couple of chub on pellets. Bites slowed down a bit in late afternoon so briefly switched to sweetcorn which really got the chub going and any barbel didn't stand a chance. Back to pellets and a couple more barbel before closing time. Nothing spectacular - barbel to about 51/2 lbs and chub up to around 3+, but an enjoyable session with a cooling breeze and the usual Wye wildlife (including canoeists and bathers!).

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

2lb brown trout caught on small coch-y-bonddu late afternoon

Great days fishing with my 82y/o father. We fished opposite the weir garden. He fished with a float with very little action. I went in with a ledger under the opposite bank and landed a lovely 3lb chub. I was hoping for some barbel as the day grew to a close but we had to leave for another appointment so missed the best time at dusk. We will be back.

A nice beat with a good variety of swims
A couple of Barbel lost to hook pulls during the afternoon left me a little frustrated, however lots of chub kept me entertained and 3 barbel in the early evening made the walk back up cardiac hill worth while

Would have been a great first day's fly fishing had I packed the flies ????. As it was a useful opportunity to practice casting with my daughter. A beautiful spot and I haven't lost any tackle for once just a few quid lighter.

My first visit to this attractive beat and surrounding habitat. An exceedingly shrunken stream, with well less than half its bed dry in most places, save in the few deep pools, but still running clear and without algal growth . A good scattering of fallen leaves though, giving an early autumn feel to the grey blustery day. Many fry evident and chasing the nymph, unlike their larger brethren who stayed well hidden. Only contacts were one smallish trout that took a spider pattern before wriggling off the barbless hook and one salmon par brought to hand. Will be back after the rain. Saddened to hear about the Llynfi pollution.
