Feedback & Reports

A replay of last week - one salmon lost in Bathing Pool. River a bit high and coloured but was clearing nicely by the end of the day.

Nice stretch of water and a good rise to olives occurred in the pm. Caught 4 brown trout in total, best around 13 inches. All fish returned and were good condition. Rose several fish to CDC olives but only got one of these to the net. Remainder caught on gold head hare's ear nymph.

Another amazing day on the Wye, lovely beat! 12 barbel caught and my last fish was an elusive Wye double and my new personal best at 10lb 4oz. This was to be my last day of this stint on the Wye and out of my 4 days fishing I landed 37 barbel in total and 4 chub. A truly amazing place and can't wait to return. Thanks again WUF for allowing this great fishing possible!

River well up and racing through. Only managed 4 eels, one was 3lb. Enjoyable day.

River level was dropping making it hard to get into a swim but managed to fish 4 swims. Total for the day 6 barbel and 2 chub. We will be back.

1 rainbow trout caught on fly.

Started at 3pm. River looked good - maybe 3ft up with a fair bit of colour. A slow start with one barbel in the first 3 hours but an excellent finish to the day as I caught 7 more in the last 2 hours of light. All fish were taken from the pegs closest the hard parking on the top section of the beat. All were taken on pellet - tried other bigger baits but with no success.

3 Barbel to just over 8lbs, only bites of the day.

River level just above the Croys and dropping. Three of us fished the meadow section and caught 5 barbel 11.25lbs, 10.5lbs, 8.5lbs, 7.5lbs, 5.5lbs and 1 eel. Bait was Boilies and meat, the larger 2 fish caught on Luncheon meat. Very few canoeists all very considerate.

Unable to fish due to hight of river. Wash off has been agreed but not sure if I can get there again before season end. Did fish Chainbridge on Usk but nothing caught.
