Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find the river high but fishable, weather was very bad with high winds and rain,
expensive umberela smashed to bits. Caught 1 barbel each but had to finish early due to a bad hail storm, rearly like this venue just a shame about the weather.

Not a great end to the season for us...we arrived with limited expectations due to the state or should we say spate of the river which continued to rise during the course of the day.A cold wind and showers blowing into our face all day did not lift the mood much either!! A couple of tentative bites missed resulted us in blanking on this productive beat...our lack of experience in these type of conditions probably to blame though....But we consoled ourselves with a great meal and night in the Cottage of Content up the road and decided in the morning to cut our fishing weekend short and make the long trek back home.
On a final note many thanks to WUF and owners of all the beats for allowing us the opportunity to fish on the magical Wye...and to all our fellow anglers who take the time to post a report...just hope it is better than this one for you!!!

3 anglers fished in atrocious conditions with gale force winds, rain and high coloured river. 1 chub and one barbel caught (early on in day). Fishing hard. Not fun!!

Did not fish

I expected a bit more water in the river and a bit more colour. A very quite day with a strong cold wind absolutely no action until very last knockings when had two chub on consecutive casts.

All I can say is what a day! Never expected the fishing to be this good for the time of year. 1st time at the beat and certainly won’t be the last. Barbel to 11.3lb and the chub to 3.5lb, all fell to pellet.
