Feedback & Reports

Arrived to river pushing through with half a meter on it slowly dropping off. Dropped a foot during session. Early session before shooting into town for breakfast. So 2nd cast at sunrise rolling meat big powerful thump then screamed of to middle. Eventually landed it a very strong healthy 9lb 2oz Barbel. 3 eels then joined the party. Weather gave 2nd hottest day of the year. No further action until evening 18. 00hrs thump on feeder krill dumbells on hair. 8lb Barbel, it looked quiet ruff possibly just spawned covered in lots of jelly lookin lice. Then another eel. Evening bites were looking good but had to pack up early as needed to check in at the Inn on the Wye. These digs are so central to lower Wye beats. So only 2 off Barbel.
But hey that's still a good day out in remarkable settings on a glorious day. 9lb 2oz backed up with a 8lb. I could fish 5 or 10 seasons down south and still not catch that in a day. Only 7 canoes came through.

John 4 barbel 3 chub & Iain smashed it in the beach swim with 9 barbel & 11 chub, we all packed at 3pm as it was way too hot! As always big thanks to Stefan for his help & advice, a switch of bait for Iain mid morning totally changed his day.

Still a very nice relaxing day spent

Good days fishing in very hot conditions, 2 barbel came in morning & surprisingly 2 in the mid afternoon heat all caught on meat or pellet, some nice sized chub came via meat & also a couple of eels,

The amount of fishable pegs on the stretch are minimal & the two nearest the water works are the only easily fishable ones, others are steep & trees/bushes could do with trimming back, I wouldn't attempt to fish many of the pegs in wet conditions as they would be pretty dangerous, this is a nice venue but could be a lot better with some work.

A few fishing rising in the morning, missed a take and lost a fish to a dry fly . The sun came out which stopped the rises so fished the fast water with nymphs and caught 5 upto 16 inches.
The parking details may need updating , was told by a resident of one of the properties at the entrance that you are no longer allowed to park your car by the brick fishing hut and pipe bridge and only park at at point M just inside the entrance gate if fishing the right bank.

1 Chub
