Feedback & Reports

Arrived at 12, walked the stretch for one hour, fished side by side in swim. Left most tackle in car and travelled light, one landing net, one seat, one angler sat on the unhooking mat. Big mistake! Needed two landing nets as we often had fish on at the same time. Fished pellet feeder, biggest barbel 9lb, biggest Chub just over 5.4lbs. What a great afternoon and what a great fishery. Sorry the report's late but only got home on Sat after a fantastic week on river.

First time here, lovely stretch. Fished 2 sessions early morning (Legg) and evening(Wooded area). Fish difficult to catch today, barbel to 7 lb. Will return.

Fished on July 6 and 7, and caught 3 trout and 3 grayling on each visit. Came across a large dead lamprey in the shallows. Would highly recommend the fish and chip shop in Builth Wells too.

TENKARA DAY. Excellent informative day. Good course.

Thanks for another great and well organised day on the river. I really enjoyed the Tenkara day, learned a great deal and have ordered some tackle! No real complaints or niggles. Better maps, or grid references would help, or even photocopies and laminates of OS maps/directions to the beats, though this is minor for me being local! Thanks again, Nick.

Spectacular day on the Wye! Started fishing around 7am with the first barbel falling to pellet and groundbait within minutes. Despite sunny conditions with a downpour at lunchtime, followed by yet more sun the barbel stayed in the swim and seemed to find our pellets and sweetcorn irresistible. Simultaneous takes on both our rods occurred on two occasions.
After a break for a well deserved lunch we returned to the swim at 3pm when a PB barbel of 11lb was landed! Over 150lbs bagged on the day! Total of 20 barbel. Oh, and 6 chub... What an incredible day. Thank you WUF! We will be back!

No catch but will definitely come back to try again.

Lovely beat but fish were just not feeding. Very hard going so packed up early. Will be back next month to try again.

Great days fishing in a lovely setting. Conditions were good. Took my Dad along who has never landed a Barbel and he was over the moon with is tally of 8 Barbel all weighing between 5lb 6oz - 7lb 12oz. He also had a 3lb Chub. I had 2 Barbel (5lb 12oz - 6lb) and 4 Chub (2lb - 3lb 10oz). My mate who came along late, caught a 1lb Chub and cooked up some lovely hot dogs! All were taken on hair rigged pellet or boilies. The only negative comment was there were not many accessible deep water swims. Saying that I will return....
