Feedback & Reports

The first of three days on Wyebank. Arrived to find the river very low and clear. Didn't start to fish until late afternoon but after a short spell trotting a float through some nice looking areas with some minor success (2x small chub) starting fishing the now famous bottom pool. This time of year this area can be fantastic and it didn't disappoint. Every cast resulted in a fish. A complete cross section of different sizes, all immaculate and hard fighting. A particularly nice chub at just under 5lb and barbel ranging from 4lb to 8lb. All caught on homemade boilies or pellets using feeders and long hook links.

5 Barbel, 7 Chub

Plenty of small trout and some nice fish in the deeper holes. Caught some nice fish up to 11 inch.

I pretty much picked up where I left off a week ago. An afternoon and evening presenting an Adams, sometimes to a rising fish, at others into likely looking spots. I’ve no idea what the fish were feeding on but the Adams certainly worked. Ten fish to hand (5"-11") and many more lost or missed. Once again this magic little beat produced terrific sport. The river was low and clear making stalking all the more challenging with those little ‘sentry’ trout scooting up a pool to alert their larger brethren.

10 Trout

All fish taken on surface flies (dry midge pattern). 1 fish taken (36cm in length). The rest were undersized and returned.

Got to the river first thing and had two chub first two casts. Then the sun came out and bites tailed off, became very hot and difficult but managed a small barbel at midday then another chub and a barbel weighing roughly 6lb about 6 o'clock plus an eel. Lovely beat.

2 Barbel, 3 Chub, 1 Other

M R - 4 chub - 2lb 12oz, 3lb, 3lb 8oz, 4lb 4oz, all on breadflake either trotted with stick float or rolled.
J S - 3 chub - 2lb 8oz, 3lb, 3lb 8oz, all to trotted flake.
P R - no fish. River seemed low, having never fished the river before, it is difficult for me to comment further.

7 Chub

Despite the near perfect conditions we only caught 2 small trout. Very few fish showing which was a shame after the reports of the last few days. Stayed late but no rise, great location wading was good under the bridge and on
The camp site bank, will definitely return to try to catch the evening rise. Thanks to fishery owner Barry who phone us to give instruction on the beat.
