Feedback & Reports

The swims in the woods at Fownhope are a great spot to get out of the SW wind and rain. Took a while to get a bite but steady feeding of hemp and meat got me 4 hours of regular bites and a decent stamp of fish. Everything came to meat on the feeder, had 5 fish over 5lb ..and plenty of 3s and 4s. Played around with a few baits to try and tempt a barbel ..but had to make do with a chubfest....Great day's fishing

Fishing with grandson Henry, his first time on the Wye. On his second cast he caught his first ever chub weighing 4lbs 10oz, what a great start. In spite of the weather, we had a very enjoyable day finishing up with 5 chub and a grayling. His last chub caught was the best, weighing exactly 5lbs. Certainly a day to remember for us both.

No fish today. Conditions seemed good however no bites. Very cold weather.

Just fished for an hour pm after a great lunch at the Corners Inn. Kingsland. At 81 years old I'm finding some beats very challenging for my limited mobility.

1 grayling about 1lb - should have been more! Lovely beat and friendly farmer.

A quick afternoon session, the water temperature was 5.4, so I wasn't optimistic about my chances of any Barbel. I fished a large piece of spam and netted a Chub of about 3lb in the first hour , I didn't get a knock for the second hour, scaling everything down to a 14mm pellet on a 14 hook hooked into the first Barbel as a was putting the rod on the rest and the second a few minutes later. MHC is a well kept beat a few of the swims have received a batteriing from this winters floods.

2 beautiful grayling on size 14 hears ear. Very difficult fishing with lots of over hanging trees and little bank access but great little river. If going in these temperatures would highly recommend as many layers as possible as it’s very cold.
Overall great day out.

2 x grayling 10-14 inches, 1 x out of season trout 10 inches, Pink Shrimp. This was more of a visit to the Dog at Ewyas Harold with a bit of fishing thrown in - very cold.
