Feedback & Reports

Nice to back on this stretch of the wye after a few years not fishing it, weather prior to are trip was not in our favor with lots of rain bringing the river up and a lot of debris downstream. Well i say debris trees between 20ft -30ft were regular flowing past. The fishing was a challenge bites hard to come by but did manage 2 good size chub fishing in the slack calmer water.

Fish came early morning. Weather got bad toward afternoon so packed up.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

The river was up and rising. Rain showers throughout the day. Just one barbel and one chub

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

No fish today, raining, raising river & lots of debris coming downstream but still enjoyable just being on the Wye.

Shortened session interspersed with heavy/torrential showers, river level rising slowly, passing otter not interested in sharing brolly. Chub, just short of 5lbs on PLM.

Washed off the river by overnight spate

River up but running surprisingly clear. 1 barbel around 6lb 2nd cast, from first swim by car park followed by a lost fish soon after and plenty of interest. Another lost fish from our friend a swim downstream and we stopped getting knocks, A walk down the beat saw us try a couple of swims that have produced in the past.. the pump station and the pool by the second parking spot. Not a sign of any interest in our ground bait and pellet approach. As soon as we returned to the first swim another 4lb fish was landed followed by another lost fish. Plenty of knocks and big 3ft twitches with nothing on the strike was very frustrating, stayed until the bitter end when another big fish was lost on last cast to a snag. Strange day. More fish lost than landed. In hindsight should have taken maggots but thought the river would be pushing through too fast and coloured but although up was clear, tried meat but to no avail.

Great beat plenty of pegs thanks to Stefan the bailif. Access to this beat has improved massively. Four Anglers fished spread out over the length. Caught fish through out the day using the pellet feeder .
