Feedback & Reports

Lovely day as usual on the Wye trotting a float standing in the river , fishing was difficult in the bright sunshine but found a nice group of big chub in the afternoon which were willing to feed

10 Chub

Water levels very low and fish very spooky. Knee pads required (but forgotten) and lots of people around so didn't fish for long. Every pool holds one of more fish - even if all you see of them is a disappearing tail.

Was hoping for a bit more water after midweek rain but still looking pretty low. Most fish holding in the deeper pools and easily spooked. Managed 8 with the Tenkara rod and mixture of nymph and traditional Tenkara flies.

Great beat, turning is tight and you need to be careful on entering and leaving due to the fast road. Lots of swims to choose from and we fished the wooded areas.

Swims are well kept and maintained, I don't like fishing where there are steps and pontoons to fish from and prefer the more natural looking beats. First time at this beat since 2017 and I will be back, not sure why I left it so long. It was the end of 3 days superb fishing on the Wye.

Other fish was an eel of just under a pound.

2x 6lb Barbel caught on normal feeder tactics through the morning session. Trotted the afternoon session in the upstream portion with a couple of small chub caught. Was joined in the river by an Otter whilst wading which was good to see.
