Feedback & Reports

13 barbel between 6 and 9lbs, 3 chub to 3lbs feeder fished pellets. Great days fishing inspite of the large rafts of cut weed coming down the river.

10 barbel to 9lb 5oz.

I can confirm that I fished Lower Carrots on 12 july and caught 1 barbel (7.75lbs) and 3 chub to 3.75lbs.

Caught a few small fish. Lost a couple of better ones. River low and clear. Nice beat.

Caught 1 brown trout, on a nymph.

The water level was quite low. Not much feeding activity.
Rain most of the day.

Made the booking via a very informative, helpful telephone call. (Not sure if it was Allyson or Wendy that recommended the beat during the call. In any case many thanks !) Once again, the paperwork provided was first-class. Directions and supportive information all helped to get us to the bank for a prompt start.

Our anticipation heightened seeing the river in excellent condition, the beat providing several very attractive swims, and also being blessed with fine weather.

We weren't disappointed. Despite some canoeists being less than courteous and having total disregard for us or our swims, the beat provided an unforgettable day. (In fairness, some canoeists were polite and did everything possible to minimise disruption to us).

BP's fish -
One Chub 2lb 8 ozs, Six Barbel weighing 5lb, 7lb, 7lb 10 ozs, 8lb 14ozs and 9lb 6 ozs

salmon-0 trout-2.
River dropping, light rain plenty cloud cover, ideal fishing conditions, rain became heavy at 6pm, no salmon sighted.

6 chub from 1/2 lb up to 3 1/2 lb, 2 barbel 6lb and 7 lb.
Morning fishing - poor weather, too bright, afternoon went overcast and the fish started to bite finally. Started catching after plenty of grounbait on sweetcorn.

1 x 12lb salmon, 1 x 3lb chub, 1 x 2lb brown trout.

All on fly, all returned.... do I get another extra large sweat shirt???

WUF Note: Yes, and a ?10 Sportfish voucher for releasing Wye salmon after June 16th!!! For more details see: http://www.wyeuskfoundation.org/projects/salmonconservation.php

Fished this beat for the first time today and was really pleased to have got a decent days fishing at what can be a difficult time for trout anglers. The day started slowly considering the good cloud cover and recent rainfall, only a single fish rising to my adams parachute right at the bottom of the beat. I moved to the Brecon end of the beat shortly before lunch, partly to try and escape what was becoming a difficult downstream wind, partly to try and find some fish. It was here that I tried some nymphs for a while but with no success. I changed to a adams wolff and persevered against the downstream wind bringing 4 fish to the net (1 x 14Oz, 2 x 10Oz and 1 x 6Oz) and about a dozen to the surface. All fish being returned.

I only had a short time to fish this beat today and unfortunately I have nothing to report, I may try again next week depending on weather conditions.
