Feedback & Reports

This was our first visit to the Creel and can see why it is such a popular venue for those of us that fish the Wye on a regular basis.
A beautiful stretch and a glorious Autumn day added to the uplifting experience of fishing there..all we had to do was try and catch a few fish to cap a perfect day. We had no success float fishing in the strong flow but groundbait feeder found the Barbel and also our first double...a fantastic fish weighing 10lb 4oz!!
Needless to say but we look forward to returning next year and thank the WUF for their assistance once again.

Despite good water conditions I fished through the beat once and didn't see or connect with any salmon. A very nice well maintained beat.

River was high but on the way down. Fished from 9am till 7pm. A few barbel early on and then the usual middle of the day quiet period before it picked up again later. Only four swims as such to pick from. A beautiful warm, sunny and enjoyable day!

I arrived at this picturesque stretch mid-afternoon and spent the first hour wandering and baiting a few likely looking spots. Weather was sunny and clear with the river looked great. I started fishing at 2pm and caught a small Barbel first cast, quickly followed by a Chub. After this early success the swim quieten off so I fished a few of the swims I'd baited earlier, although without any success.
Returning to fish my first swim an hour before dusk, I lost what felt like a good Barbel as the light started to fade. Packed up as night fell and headed off into Hereford for my tea followed by a night sleeping in the car (I must be Mad). I would be back the next day....
Both fish were caught on pellets having bait dropped pellet and hemp 30 mins prior to fishing.

Had a great day here a month ago but arrived to find river really high and flying through. Settled into the meadow area but very difficult and could only fish close in. After some advice from the ever helpful Don we managed to winkle a few out late in the day under the rod tip.

Fly fishing, river in good condition, directions could lead to confusion as a layby near allotments with gate the track is further on past the houses and track on left minor pull in on left after track. Nothing caught on the day, fishers should take note my wife was attacked by a pheasant, seems to be lot about in the area. Fishing was good easy wadding
