Feedback & Reports

1 perch, 1 small brown trout - both returned.
Booking system fine, but requirement to print details not always possible if on holiday. Would suggest you recommend electronic capture instead.

Fished top section upstream from A465 to Ponstcill. Beautiful river. 10+ Wild brown trout to 5oz. Amazing condition with fantastic colours. Totally absorbing! Will be back.

10 Trout

Only one rod fished from about 8pm to 10.15pm. Weather warm, still and bright. Nothing moving until about 9.45pm when a rise began and small fish were taking from the surface.
Disappointing.

Low water levels, but very enjoyable for a visiting angler. Trout caught were all under 8 inches and in excellent condition. All fish were safely returned. Directions to the beat were excellent.
Apologies for this delayed return - I had trouble finding wifi!

5 Trout

Chub 3-4lbs, barbel to 7.5lbs. My favourite stretch of the Wye!

2 Barbel, 19 Chub

Great day float fishing pellet. 5 barbel to 7lb 6oz and a couple of chub to 3lb. One bonus wild brownie. Water slightly clearer than down stream seemed to help.

1 Trout, 5 Barbel, 3 Chub

Bright and sunny day. Again water level same as yesterday.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Enjoyed my day, some really nice streamy water. Some of the meanders however were rather dull. Lots hatching including mayfly. Caught loads of tiddlers using a variety of small pattern dry's, nothing else though - where were the bigger ones?

Only managed to fish for about an hour (work really gets in the way doesn't it!). Dry fly only, had a couple of takes on a grey wolf but nothing caught. There were plenty of fish there though. Will definitely do this one again though.

Had a real grueller yesterday despite starting the session around 4.30am and fishing straight through to 9.30pm. Lost a fish early on but blanked otherwise. My friend saved the blank at dusk with a sinlgle 5lb barbel but generally very difficult. Conditions looked perfect and we both took the usual pellet/feeder approach (varied hook sizes/lengths, used range of pellets 8>11 mm). As we are both new to this water any suggestions (from seasoned Wye fanatics) as to why this might be (semi polite only) MUCH appreciated.
AMAZING venue, thanks WUF for opening these beats, long may you prosper!
