Feedback & Reports

River in perfect condition after some rain plus overcast. Fished 5 different swims, caught just 1 Barbel.
Extremely hard. Just did not seem to be any fish around.

1 Barbel

No fish during the day. Had to leave at 6pm before the best time to catch

Water slightly coloured and faster following some rain upstream but fish didn't really switch on. However a nice quiet day with canoeists in the main quite considerate and polite. Feeder and pellets produced the fish we did catch

River low, weather variable (sun, heavy showers). The swims are a lot more overgrown than last year but just about fishable. Tried as much of the upper half of the beat as feasible. Just the one Barbel from the top most swim.

1 Barbel

Second day on the beat, started out in the rope pool for a few hours which proved hopeless, moved up to the upper part and started catching well through the afternoon.
Weather was awful so only myself out of the 3 of us braved the weather but it was well worth it.
Fish were all between 7-9lb

4 Barbel

Tough day, fished the upper end of the beat in several swims but couldn't locate the fish. Spoke to the gille and he said he had spotted an otter there two days beforehand so probably didn't help.
1 Barbel caught on pellet.

I have read some reports about swims and there not being many. I can say there are 4-5 well cut out swims in the upper section, the middle section has a couple of good swims but the bottom section there are none.

A very nice beat

Another hard day on the Wye before heading home. Managed 2 barbel and although conditions seemed ok the fishing this weekend has not been as good as normal. Got home to find that we had left a net at middle hill court. I'm assuming that it will be long gone but if anyone fishes there and finds a net I would really appreciate it if they would let the Wye and Usk know so they can contact me. Back again in a few weeks and hopefully the river will be back on form.
