Feedback & Reports

Quiet morning, apart from my pals 11lb 10oz cracking barbel! In the afternoon it picked up once we used 5oz to hold bottom. River was up a bit! Plenty of snags! First time on this beat, the whole stretch is pretty much shallow & I would imagine could be very good in the summer/hot weather.

4 wildies up to 14" on French leader/ Hares Ear bug.
They're just starting to colour up, but an hours' streamer fishing through some of the deeper runs didn't produce the goods it often does as spawning time comes around.

Fished 8am to dusk 6.5lbs barbel in morning top of beat.5.5lbs 6.8lbs and 5lbs towards dusk on pellet, 4lbs chub to meat all towards the rock pool. Most fish taken tight to near bank. Conditions overcast with light rain. Mild temperatures 14 to 18 degree's. access very good to fishery swims fairly user friendly. Helpful advice from gamekeeper. Mink sighted close in.

River falling but up a metre. I fished concrete path for 5 barbel to 8lb 3 on meat and pellets plus an eel. NK and SR both new to the Wye fished top end for 5 and 4 Barbel respectively on pellet and meat. Weather deteriorated but fished through to dark, a great start to the Wye visit. Will certainly put this on my return to list. Farmer very helpful.

Fishing the fast running lower stretch firstly with bolo float to far side glide and hooked first barbell early on. Weighed 5lb. Then changed to ground bait feeder on same line and caught barbell to 8lb later on in session. An enjoyable day

river really too high without life jackets. Not worth the risk so did not fish.

The river looked good but the fish didn't respond although a few were lost in the snags, access at the entrance with a standard vehicle is a problem and I scraped the bottom of my car both getting in and out, for this reason we will not be returning which is a shame.
