Feedback & Reports

Fishing poor again! Plenty of canoes though and boats with motors on? We don't mind the canoes if there quiet when passing, but when you're paying £22 a ticket to have people jumping in off boats and swimming through your swims its a bit of a joke to be fair!

River low and fish spooky. v hot.

A sweltering day with the river running low and clear. The fish took some finding, but generally came regularly throughout the day. Most fish caught on small pellets glued to the hair, rather than single larger pellets.
Largest 7lb 8oz. Most 5lb - 7lb, with one small barbel of around 12oz.

Unbelievable afternoon/evening session at one of the best beats on the Wye & Usk in my opinion. This is a day that me and my Dad will never forget.
We got to the river at 11.30am and made the long walk round the woods, eventually settling in a couple of swims at 1pm. Before I had even set up my Dad had 3 barbel and the fish seemed to be seriously having it. We then caught steadily all afternoon until about 4pm when everything went quiet. A walk around the fishery to plan our next move was in order so we spent 45mins walking the stretch then returned to get our gear.
We decided to have another cast in our original swim and immediately were back into the fish. We then continued to catch all evening, somehow passing 30 barbel, then 40, finishing on 41 barbel, 39 chub, 1 eel and 1 shimano 6000 spool hooked in the edge inside a mankey old sock!!
Can't wait to get back to this beat in September and I just hope it fishes half as well!
Also had 2 mink run between my legs - they were extremely tame, one of them was sat looking at me trying to beg some pellets I think!

River very low and clear and coupled with hot and bright weather, made conditions far from ideal. Unfortunately only one barbel between the two of us, along with a dozen or so chub.
