Feedback & Reports

The river was very low and over the three days was rising and falling by about 18inches. All fish were caught using pellets.

No fish seen nor caught, nice location. I chanced upon a canoeist putting in at parking spot 2 despite river not at allowable level.

No fish caught - 1 take

Another great day on the beat. The river was just fining down and still had colour. Some good barbel caught to 7lbs.
Barbel fed best at the normal 2 hrs before dusk.

Great stretch to fishing, started off by the seat a couple of swims in, caught 8lb barbel on pellet. Later moved to the bottom pool a further 5 barbel 2-6lb all on pellet.

1st time on this beat and it's absolutely stunning. River was a good level and nicely coloured but was only able to pick off the odd fish from roaming around.
Used the taxi service, which I would definitely recommend and fished in front of the weir garden where most of the swims are concentrated. Would have no problem recommending this beat.

Dry fly river level up. Mostly small fish with one of two pound last thing using a small adams.

With the river up over a metre, the barbel proved to be a little elusive although chub knocked away at our pellet baits and occasionally attached themselves to the hook. We were restricted to the top end of the beat and had the frustration of a lot of weed coming down.

Fished the woods from morning till 3 taking a 1 hour rest in a swim in the second field. The river was coloured and coming through at a fair pace. All three barbel came within an hour and a half the largest was 5lb 10.
Beautiful fishery and very strong healthy fish. My first visit to the Wye and I'll definitely be returning.
