Feedback & Reports

Started at the top end of the beat, fishing most swims with nothing but an eel. We then moved lower down the river to the wooded section were it was slightly pacier. There we managed 2 barbel one just over 7lb and the other over 9lb. All fish came on pellet early afternoon. Lots of canoeist come down this section of river and most pass through peacefully, where as other have no respect or awareness of us 3 anglers. The day was enjoyable and many thanks to WUF.

Only negative was the amount of litter in the wooded section, not from anglers just people throwing litter from their car windows into woods.

2 Barbel, 1 Other

One pull in the neck of Spring Pool, and trout of 15 and 12 inches, but that was all she wrote this evening.

2 Trout

Pellets and feeder. Had 10 good size Chub but the Barbel eluded me

10 Chub

In good conditions we caught mainly small Barbel on meat and small Chub using a feeder. Quite a few anglers on the far bank. Thanks

no fish caught

River very low and clear, bankside undergrowth now taking over, Balsam I think, so very difficult if not impossible to get to some areas. There are now cattle both sides of the river on the lower section and they are friendly !
Saw the dreaded cormorants fishing merrily on the lower section, and I think they were doing better than me.
As usual the wind was a real problem, it was much stronger than forecast, I think the weather people struggle to forecast yesterdays weather correctly !
Still better than a day working though.
Many thanks to the fishery owner and the Wye & Usk team.

2 Trout, 5 Grayling
