Feedback & Reports

I had 5 chub to around 4lbs they were all covered in argulus fish lice. Only fished to around lunch time. There was a lot of fish activity where they were crashing around as if trying to rid themselves of the fish lice but not feeding as well as one would have hoped.
The next day we were on the Lower Carrot and Luggsmouth Passport beat, where again there was a lot of fish activity, mainly barbel splashing about as if trying to rid themselves of fish lice.
With the very low water levels it seemed strange that there was a large agricultural water abstraction unit working at the point where the Lugg joins the Wye all the time we were there.
Thanks

4 Chub

Heavy Showers and river carrying extra water. 9 WBT to 19" also had a 16" fish. Two lovely big brown trout! Also fell in, not recommended but who cares when you have just caught two big wild brown trout.

River at bare bones level, at least I could check out the make up of the deep pools for future use. Trout very wary, caught 7 up to 7" from the now short faster streams. All on small paras.

River low, only fished the top part of the beat from about 7:45pm to 10pm. Managed to catch two fish on small sedges, fished mostly dry. Had two other takes. There were only a few fish rising. Good session overall.

Bright warm and breezy day one rainbow trout caught on a sinking line with a muddler.

All trout were caught on a small trout spinner on light gear with average size around 8 inches. Good sport for my 9 yr old son. river gentle flow, gloriously sunny...with some big fish teasing us all day jumping near us but not interested in the spinner.
A great day! All fish safely returned.

Our first time on the Wye, so we wasted a fair bit of time fishing swims that looked fishy but weren't. Eventually we found where the fish were and were happy with the results. River was lowish but with a little colour - downstream wind a bit of a nuisance. Barbel came to meat or pellet (around 7 lb each). Lovely spot and will certainly try this stretch again.

2 Barbel, 10 Chub

River still very low and now with a green algee colour in the water. Angler 1 hooked 3 barbel but only 2 landed and angler 2 had 1 chub.
