Feedback & Reports

Fished the evening searching for fishing fish, found a few and had 3 nice browns up to about a pound on small emergers and midge. Lovely varied beat and saw a few larger fish showing that won the trout chess game today - I'll be back! Many thanks to Barrie for his advice and encouragement ?

Luckily reconned the lay of the land the previous night, as the gate access easy to misses overgrown and not used for a while.. Long track down to riverbank along old rail track. Steep 40 odd ,well maintained steps down.... good exercise!, which I enjoy, but certainly not for the unfit.The buttresses of the old rail line certainly great to behold, always wondered where they were... having seen many iconic photos.
As for fishing ,chub fest all day. With some bank clearance could be best stretch on the Wye!!!!
2 people booked on as through W&U Website....... If Elvis and Lord Lucan had been there when I left it wouldn't have surprised me!! I counted 4 different anglers during the day.

I think it worth mentioning that there's only one swim available in the upstream meadows due to over growth of vegetation. Bear this in mind if that swim is occupied when you arrive....it will leave you no choice but to attempt the walk over the hill . Although I didn't find this a problem someone who is less able may struggle ...if you are less able then your only choice will be to go home ! Also the path through the wood is treacherous due to the sheep that get up in there...the path is very slippery especially after overnight rain ....and once again if the only swim is occupied you will have a wasted journey on that dodgy path . However the first meadow downstream does have several fishable spots but the next meadow down cannot be fished ....neither of the meadows can be described as "open " as they are for the most part tree lined . This is not a moan , it's just an observation of the situation down there .

Awesome beat, one of my favourites. Owner is super friendly. Barbel between 5 and 7lb and chub were all between 1lb and 4lb. Biggest fish came to rolling meat. Wildlife is exceptional.

No sign of a salmon, despite good water at nearly 1 ft. A bit of an evening rise to small-ish trout around 10pm
