Feedback & Reports

Fantastic opening day to the season! Arrived very early and started catching straight away. Between the 2 of us we had 9 barbel averaging 5lb and 5 chub between 2 and 3lb. Fished pellets with the open ended feeder produced more than pva bags although both caught fish. Fantastic work done to the banks creating comfortable swims.

9 Barbel, 5 Chub, 2 Other

Lovely opening day with decent chub, trout and a good barbel lost long trotting, M S ended the day with a couple of decent sized barbel to finish on legered pellet, best 8lbs.
Seven different salmon seen jumping through the day - plenty in residence in the pools.
Thanks Terry for all your help and advice.

Sun and cloud, warm, low 20's. 4 barbel, best 6lbs on pellet and feeder. 18 Chub up 5lbs on pellet. Beware of 3rd swim on road side below willow stump, there's a snag at 45 degree's downstream. I lost some tackle here.

Most of middle and lower beat unfishable because you cannot get to the banks. The undergrowth is 6ft tall! Disappointing day as a result.

Beautiful morning with the stream running clear. I fished early and caught six wbt around 4-6 inches. Nothing rising initialy so first few were caught on ptn. I then used a Parachute Adams as there were a few rises as the morning warmed up. That did the trick and I caught four and lost as many again. Donated a few flys to the trees as usual, its very overgrown on this beat.
A good few hours sport on a challenging stream.

Wow! Great bit of water but in a push to get home only gave it an hour but a heavy nymph hooked a 14" wbt, biggest of the weekend. Can't wait to return for a proper session. Thanks again Wye and Usk Foundation!

A lovely day but no fish seen or caught. The lower half of the beat had more promise but overhanging vegetation and inexperience with small streams rather got the better of us. Previous catch reports show plenty of fish so technique may well be the issue. Green spider and PTN had no success.
