Feedback & Reports

After the recent heavy rain and high water levels, safety on the banks was paramount as it was extremely slippery under foot. Despite this, the river was falling and was spot on for a bite. We all settled into swims in the woods but the expected bites were slow to come. One of the trio moved swims further back downstream. The resulting move returned 3 hard fighting barbel, whilst the other two rods stayed put and returned 1 barbel each and a chub between them. The venue could be better if more effort was put into making swim’s available. Finally, if you do not have a 4 x 4 in wet conditions, DO NOT attempt to drive down to the river as you will almost certainly not get back up.

5 Barbel, 1 Chub

Great days fishing on a thinning down section with over 20+ chub between 2, 4+ lb and 3 barbel to about 7lb all taken on the feeder
We shall look forward to returning later in the week.

Caught nothing but had a good time.

Our first time on this beat and the upper section of the fishery was off limits because of anglers on the other bank. However, we found a couple of promising looking swims further down. The river was about 1.2m up but clearing and not too much debris coming down. All fish were caught in the edge, a rod length out and all fought really well in the increased flow! We had an enjoyable day and the view, particularly as the river bends around to the right is absolutely stunning. I am already planning my next trip to the Wye! Thanks W&UF.

River dropped two foot during the day with floating debris making it hard work later on. All fish caught from pegs in field furthest downstream on coated meat. Worth the risky decent to swims with a dog spike and strong rope.

As previous report from same day.

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

Gusty winds made casting awkward. Tried this and 2 other Aberystwyth Angling lakes over by Nant-y-Moch. Didn't have a touch all day.

Challenging conditions with 4ft of extra water and pushing through. Various pellets accounted for most fish. The 'other' was an impressive eel caught on Spam.
