Feedback & Reports

River fished hard with rising water and a lot of debris and blanket weed coming down the river. Managed 3 barbel out to 7lb which was good considering The conditions. Access was decent and not too much foot traffic from the public.

Weed was tripping the leads after five minutes or so making for a very difficult day. Even 5oz's was no match for the combination of blanket weed and flow. One Barbel caught 6am with the remainder coming at dusk. Thankfully, a few obliging Chub in between.

Arrived at dawn and fished until 2pm. Managed 5 Barbel up to approximately 7lbs fishing half way down the left bank all on feeder and halibut pellet. River was up nicely and only had to fish just over a rod length out avoiding the bulk of blanket weed which was a persistent problem.

First time for me on the Wye river levels were very low, fish not playing ball at all 3 little chublets caught, fished 6 pegs from the middle down towards the bottom, cant wait to go back, can not judge it on today's conditions ,

Tough day, river was at normal summer level but water was dark brown. Did not arrive until midday it was raining .Fish caught within an hour of arriving from about halfway up the beat, the rain went off & the sun came & the fish disappeared . Quite a few swims have been made in the lower two fields however the banks are very steep & great care is needed. The main problem was the amount of thin stranded weed that instantly wrapped around the feeder & hookbait , have never seen it this bad before. On another note the parking area is conned off at the moment due to foresty work, not sure where else you could park, managed to squeeze in on the end, would be a problem if more than one car needed to park there. Fish were caught on pellet & feeder tactics, lovley to be back on the wye again.

After the previous days heavy rain the lugg was running in very coloured but as we where above the colour was good
The water was slowly rising all day.
Fishing into some fast water and using standard feeder method with wrapped pellet as bait had a chub first cast before it settled. Between us we had 2 Barbel the best of 7lb and one of 5.5Lb the 15 chub that where all between 3 to 4 lb.(one was the same fish twice)
Later in the day set up a stick float and trotted sweet corm taking a chub of 3.5lb and 25 or so smaller chub and some good size dace. Had a good chat with Glen at a great venue well kept and not a canoe all day
Thank you
