Feedback & Reports

I caught 1 barbel and 2 chub on fish meal pellets (8mm). I think the river was quite low.

I am a novice barbel fisher. This was my first barbel.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Tried float and feeder to no avail

Fished the wooded section. Fished pellet, meat and boilie for one trout and eels on meat, no barbel or chub. Tough day, I'm sure would fish better with some more water on. Absolutely stunning scenery, I'll definitely be back.

Low water level. Water temp. measured as 21 degrees. Barbel caught while legering, allowed to recover more than usual as a precaution.

Lovely stretch of river and nice day to be out on the banks of the Wye. Contrary to other comments there are lots of places to fish probably 8 spots in the woods and at least 3 in the field and we tried virtually all of them. Water level was low so you could actually get down to water in several places. The fishing was very hard just a couple of very small chub and eels. It was hot but not sure that was reason it fished so hard but we never got a bite from anything other than eels and chublets. Unfortunately there was a mass of green weed coming down the river that covered your line, hooks and feeders and made fishing pretty much impossible. It was a kind of silky weed not the ranunculus that Wye used to be full of. Not sure why this weed is coming down the river this time of year isn't it is too early for it to be dying back water has a slight brown tinge to it so maybe the recent rain washing it through? It did mean you were never confident your bait was fishing properly and constantly had to reel in to clean it off.
