Feedback & Reports

River pushing through with hint of colour, we caught fish in the meadow upstream of the car park on our first trip to this stretch. Fished pellets on feeder and caught regularly from our start at around 12.30 until 6. All fish between 5 and 9lb. Top day in beautiful surroundings.

River in great condition. Started in the bottom pool opposite the house, had two barbel within 5 minutes but quickly quietened down. Enjoyed trotting for dace and chub in the middle of the day with a giant gudgeon thrown in for good measure. Barbel came on the feed again in the evening. A great day on what I think is one of the nicest beats on the river, lots of swim choices and just teaming with wildlife.

Good days fishing on both spinner (3 fish) and fly (2 fish). Plenty more fish were also lost during the day.

5 Trout

Low, clear water. Sunny day, with a cool, gusty, northerly breeze. Fishing was slow, but bites came in the shade, riffles and ripples created by the breeze.

Although the Barbel weren't playing ball for me I enjoyed trotting for a few Chub to 4lb and about 12 Dace to 7oz.
A very well managed fishery with swims cut out to provide easy access down the banks.
I'll be back.

River in poor condition weird brown stain to it. Ive seen it like this before and have never done any good. Today was no exception, no fish and couldn't get any bites. Tried all the favourite places. Enjoyed the walk and scenery and will be back again later in the winter.

Fished bottom pool in the morning and caught 1 barbel around 5lb. Conditions were tricky with the river really rushing through after the previous day's rain. No more fish forthcoming so changed tack to trotting maggots in the afternoon. We had good fun catching chublets and dace before having another crack at the barbel. We moved to the bench swim which was still pushing through but seemed a bit more manageable. Had a barbel within 10 minutes and caught 6 altogether and another chub. Biggest weighed in at 9lb 8oz and had others at 8lb 10oz, 8lb 8oz and 7lb 5oz. All beautiful fish caught on feeder and pellet. Best looking and fighting fish I've ever seen. Absolutely cracking day. We will be back.

The river was up a little and fairly coloured. I fished 4 swims but did not get a bite until nearly 3pm, then from 2 swims I had 16 barbel (4 and 12) from approx 5lb to maybe a little over 10lb. Access to swims was good. This was my first return to the Wye in nearly 10 years and I will be back! Thanks WUF.
