Feedback & Reports

The morning fished well with the same tactics as the previous day. However the bright sunshine and the water becoming clearer and clearer, resulted in the fish not biting at all. Despite a valiant comeback, B.Ls x 9 barbel to S.Ms x 6 over the two days was enough for the victory. One of my favourite stretches of the Wye. A must visit for any barbel angler.

5 Barbel, 3 Chub

Hair rigged pellet fishing for barbel. River just above normal, little colour remaining. Wonderful, peaceful venue

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Pools were deep in places meaning lots of hatches but nothing rising, tried nymphs and dries had one take on a parachute Adams but alas the little bugger was off as soon as he was on.

Beautiful Brownie on a black hopper fly fish about 11 inches approx 1 pound in weight.

2 of us fished from c. 11am until 4ish. River was very low and the fishing was very tough along quite a few stretches. We picked up fish from most of the likely spots in the conditions - a mix of trout and a few salmon parr. Both of us fished the Duo all day, with most fish coming to a plain nymph.

Beautiful venue, and easy to access the beats upstream of the bridge. No sign of any fish rising or feeding below the surface. Fished nymphs up as far as The Wall pool in the morning and dries closer to the bridge in the afternoon but no luck again.

Nb parking where suggested is not possible due to road signs and bollards, much better on the road, a safe distance around the corner from the bridge.
