Feedback & Reports

Had a very pleasant day on the river with my daily workout carrying far too much gear over the hill to the bottom of the beat,beating my way through to the river’s edge & sliding down the bank (should have added a machete to my gear);Getting back up the slippy banks was a piecemeal job. Tried 4 different swims which all went quiet after an hour or two. One beauty of a chub just over 6....shame they come in like lambs, unlike the barbel that give their all.
Met A again, all the way down from Suffolk & it was good to ‘chew the fat’ with him again & was able to help him with the landing net & camera at last knockings , with a fantastic barbel just a few ounces short of being a double. Perfect end to the day.
Don’t those hedge flails make a lot of noise!
There was very large salmon playing in the pool just above the hut.
Thanks to all.

fished all day all the pools runs and gutters,not a touch or nothing seen.Better luck next time

Hard day for Barbel, but at least the Chub were active. Fished in the three main swims at the top of the beat, ending up at the hut. Plenty of Chub but only 2 Barbel takes. First one managed to snag me, the second caught on my "one last cast" weighed in at 9lb 3oz. Good to catch up the "A.B. from Hereford" again, he's right the Hedge Flails are very noisy!!!

Good water height and colour. A few fish seen but none contacted.

fished the legg meadow , usual pellet/feeder combo .barbel were 6 and 8 lb, but the star of the show was a 6lb 4oz chub
which is a pb on the wye for me. Its a lovely place to fish, nice and peaceful , plenty of wildlife to keep you occupied, but I would comment that whilst access is easy at the pumping station it can only take two cars although a bit further along
you can park on the verge (one car) but its not ideal . We did talk to Don and he explained the issues and efforts are being made to improve parking. The swims are (during lowish water conditions)down steep banks and when wet quite slippery and for those of us of more "mature " years , you would need a team of sherpas to get up and down the bank. that said, there are a couple of swims in the meadow that are just about fishable for the older gent...... will certainly try it again.

Struggled a bit on what looked like a good day for it. moved around the beat and eventually hooked a barbel which came off the hook almost immediately but landed one soon after of 8lb 13oz, lovely broad fish which put up a great fight. My companion then hooked and lost one and that was it for the day apart from a chub of around 3lb at dusk. Lovely peaceful day until loads of anglers descended on the opposite bank at dusk shouting down the bank to each other.

A late afternoon session, river was low and clear, but with good cloud cover and mild temperature all seemed about perfect...fished pellet feeder with bites coming from the off, barbel to 7lb and chub just to under 5lb, excellent short session.

River low and clear very strong winds, difficult to get bites in the conditions.
