Feedback & Reports

Another lovely day fishing on the Wye. Caught 3 Chub and just the 1 barbel, 7lb. All caught on pellet. Thanks.

The river was perfect when I arrived - coloured and up but very fishable. Once I found the fish, they came steadily throughout the day. 8 barbel to 8.8lbs.

A nice beat but a nil return unfortunately. I didn't see any salmon but I believe the owner had a fish later in the day.

6 grayling to 30cm.

9 x grayling 8-16 inches, 7 x out of season trout 6-10 inches, mainly on dry Red Tag and Grayling Steel Blue. Sunless and suddenly cold, although the water was dropping to a good fishing level and clearing during the day. Just a few small Olives from midday but only the occasional fish rising and they were "picky." Met my pal DC of Moccas halfway up and he seemed to be doing better with the duo. The best grayling actually came to a heavy nymph along the bottom, just before dusk.

Short evening session. 10lb cock fish on red/gold Flying C. Coloured but in good condition. Safely returned.

7 Barbel to 9lb 14oz and 4 chub to 4lb 7oz were landed by us on pellet.

A cool day at 11 degrees, and the water even colder at 9 degrees. Winter is on its way. Will wear the thermal LJs from now on - brrrrrrr! Some olives on and off from about 11 a.m. but not too many fish rising to them. Mainly fished duo (but only two fish came to the nymphs) or just an emerger. Had no joy bugging. Finished the day with 8 grayling and 5 trout. Best trout 13-14" but most about 8-10". Had two 16", each about 1.75lb, and one 14" grayling; the rest 8-12". Rising or non-rising fish either took an E H Caddis or a small dark olive Duck's Dun. A really nice day on this lovely bit of water.

8 fish caught, a combination of Chub and Barbel with the largest Barbel being 7lb. A big Pike lives on this beat. The access road down to the fishery from the car parking area is in a poor state, park up and then a 15min walk to the beat.

River a couple of feet up and holding. 11 barbel (from 3lb to 8lb) and a couple of chub caught. All fish came from either the pool at the bottom of the beat or the well trodden peg in the middle before the line of poplars. All fish caught on halibut pellet.
