Feedback & Reports

Lovely stretch with good access. The day started well with 2 chub and a barbel, with a bite a cast. All went rapidly downhill when I returned to the car for my camera to find the front passenger window smashed and the sat nav stolen. Thankfully the thieves ignored the expensive camera kit!

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

First time on this beat and not a very successful day, did get to meet the beat owner however, a very amiable gent who took the time to have a chat and put me right on a few things, wish I had met him earlier in the day. Thank you.

Barely a bite in 6 hours. Were under the rocks, where you can't really get when the water level is higher. Used pellets and sweetcorn, feeder and float. It was quite windy, and cold for August.

No fish seen or caught, a poor days fishing.

Arrived at a low river on a hot and sunny day, not ideal conditions. We mainly fished the float and had lots of chublets, I caught 24 all about 6oz - 8oz on Hemp and Tares. That part of the river is full of them, which is a good sign for the future. We also fished Pellet for the barbel but no show. Between 4 of us we had 1 good chub and 1 barbel which both came on the feeder.
There was a downside as up to 300 plus canoes came through from 10am till 4pm, unfortunately you just can't fish properly when this happens, which is a shame.
WUF Note: Heavy canoe traffic is, unfortunately, a fact of life on the Wye during the summer holidays, especially at weekends. Please see p37 in the Passport for advice on minimising the impact of canoe traffic, including revising your fishing times.

No fish but that will be down to my lack of fly fishing experience. Great location.
