Feedback & Reports

Overcast day without the heat of yesterday. Found the fish in the faster water towards the bottom end of the beat. Dog pegs and rope needed for some of the swims.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished bottom peg on left hand bank. Rain made bank very slippy. Banks are very steep on left bank. Better suited to getting down into water really. Right hand bank has more accessible pegs. Had 6 chub out just under 5lb and painfully lost 2 barbel before 7:30am. Before it went quite for a couple of hours. Changed bait from bloodworm barbel pellets to meat and started catching again. Old reliable worm also caught me a couple of chub. As did halibut pellets on hair. As I always say, Chub and barbel are not fussy and will take pretty much anything if you find them. Only fished until 2 pm and thy were still biting. Finished off with 14 chub an lost a few. Will return there’s plenty of fish on this stretch.

Return visit with some heavier nymphs, this proved more successful (although I caught one less trout than last time) in terms of contacting fish. I managed 3 lovely trout to about 10" but lost 7 others including a really good fish with barbless hooks giving the fish a fair chance - that's my excuse anyway. All fish on tungsten grhe.

3 Trout

Evening visit all fish to a nymph fished duo. Very few Mayfly and no rises seen.

Really nice beat with great access and well cut swims, fishing wasn't the best partly due to low river level and recent heat.
I waded most of the day and caught 35-40 small dace and chub, lost a good barbel at the net as well. SM visited quite a few swims and caught 2 nice chub for his efforts all the fish came from the weir area.

First visit to the Wye. Bite first cast was a lovely chub about 3lb. Followed by 3 more smaller chub. Then the place went dead. Loads of canoeists and very ignorant dog walkers
Ruined what started a very lovely day

Barbel between 5lb and 7.11. Chub all small up to 2lb. Slow through the day but picked up during the afternoon. Barbel caught on feeder with boilie or pellet in faster water under the near bank. Other fish eels. Nice stretch - good access, parking and very peaceful. River low but fairly coloured. Numerous large fish topping during the afternoon - some salmon seen, also barbel showing.
