Excellent Pike fishing on a mild day. Spent 3 hours dropping into likely looking spots along the entire length of the beat. Lots of swims with ready made steps in place. Didn't have a touch, so decided to fish 3 of the more Pikey looking spots with deadbaits. Caught 3 Pike, one at 16.5lb, one at 14.5lb and a jack. Thoroughly enjoyed the day!

One pike - 18lb 4oz, legered deadbait. Lost one pike est. 15lb. Great place to fish, I'll be back.

No fish to be had again today after a hard frost and the river still up and flowing hard. It is hard to find places to fish when the river is like this. The only obvious swims did not produce.

River low but still lightly coloured. Weather relatively mild for the time of year - on the whole things looked promising. In spite of moving about and trying boilies, pellets and meat, only 1 barbel caught of about 8lbs, plus 7 or 8 chub up to maybe 3.5lbs. Looks like the barbel have shut up shop for the winter, but still a lovely place to spend a day.

River running 2 ft lower than a couple of weeks ago. Some colour in it but not much, no rubbish coming down. One barbel of 3lb on pellet in mid afternoon and 2 chub on meat at dusk; very slow day but good to be out nonetheless. Back next week for another go.

I took the advice from Mr.Fisher and fished the Rope Pool. The river was tanking through, and the colour of soup, but the steps swim offered a nice cast to the edge of the flow. I caught 4 barbel, biggest 6lb 2oz.

3 Barbel @ average of 6lbs each (returned).

River looked perfect. We tried just about every bait in our bags and only managed to catch 1 barbel of about 7lb. Very disappointing that the chub did not want to feed either.

It was a beautiful morning, very misty & still with a light frost. The river had come up 2-3 inches overnight. A very slow start and with only 1 barbel of 10lb 3oz caught within the first 3 hours we decided to move further up to the top of Vanstone. This proved as unfruitful as the morning with no further barbel showing. However lots of quality dace fell to maggot. Not the fishing quantity of the previous day, but yet again the stunning surroundings and wildlife made up for this. All barbel caught in our 2 days were of pristine condition & super hard fighters....great sport!! Can't wait to come back. Once again, well done WUF!

This was the first time me and my partner had fished the Wye and we weren't to be disappointed. After lots of overnight rain the river had risen but was running off nicely by the morning. Within the first 45 minutes we caught a barbel of 6lbs and this was followed throughout the morning by a further 6 barbel from 6lb-8lbs. All were caught on groundbait feeder & boillie. However from 2pm it went very quiet and with only 1 lost fish between the 2 rods. All in all a brilliant day set in amazing surroundings with an array of wildlife. We were looking forward to returning the following day. Many thanks to WUF!
