Feedback & Reports

A very low and clear river and bright sunshine, so it was always going to be hard, 2 of us fished beat 4 and had 1 barbel and 4 chub on hair rigged 8 mm pellet, and the other 2 fished beat 2 and had 10 barbel between 4and 8 lb on single and double pellet

11 Barbel, 4 Chub

1st visit to the Wye, conditions far from ideal very hot and obviously no or little rain for the previous 2 months. 4 of us fished, 2 of our group blanked. After chatting to a very helpful Peter the fishery manager /bailiff he put us on to some better swims, one being the Thomas wood cribb which had better flow, managed a small barbel and 2 eels which fought quite hard, on open end feeder with groundbait and pellets with luncheon meat on the hook. Also chublets and dace caught on maggots on float.
Would just like to add due to the group of us taking quite a lot of tackle and needing trollies we couldn't get them past some fallen trees and we struggled to get our tackle to the far pegs.
Absolutely lovely place but could you clear the pegs better please.
Stunning scenery

A lack of water and extremely bright sun made fishing during the day very difficult, but the evening proved productive with some good rises and nice fish (best 3/4lb) .

Another scorching and bright day! But 34 fish all on dries as usual…. A pretty even split between trout, grayling and salmon parr and mostly small, not many over 12 inches except…a fish dimpling on the tail of a pool swirled and moved a lot of water. A good grayling by the rise! After a few casts he took the fly – wow a solid fish, much headshaking and didn’t see him for 5 minutes until his back broke the water – big bronze scales, a chub! Ah well, he was a 3lb fish so certainly respectable.
Some local lads came along with pallets and drums and proceeded to build a raft – what fun, plenty of room here to leave them to it!

All fish safely returned. Quite difficult to access in places
