Feedback & Reports

First time on this beat, a hard day but it worth the visit, good swim clearance which was good.

Low clear river, bright conditions. Barbel up to 9.4, caught from 2 swims towards upper end of beat. Around 15 decent chub up to 5.4, rest chublets. One eel. Feeder tactics with boilie, paste or pellet produced. Plenty of swims to go out, well cleared. Lower end of beat limited a little by anglers on the far bank, most fish were caught further upstream though. Good opening day!

My first 3 Barbel ever between 5 and 9lbs, overcast chilly day, light breeze from the south. Feeder fished hemp and halibut groundbait with halibut pellets mixed in and either Halibut or Spicy sausage pellets or luncheon meat on a hair rig fished approx 10yds out from the bank near the bottom of the beat.

Fishing a little slow due to easterly/high pressure but great being on the river for the day.

River up and coloured. We rotated swims down the inside line along the whole stretch, but the fish weren't really in the mood. Used flavoured luncheon meat and paste wrapped boilies as bait. Always a good day out on the Wye, even if the fishing is a bit slow. A Bullock in the bottom field got very frisky as we were heading back to the car, so we were nice and alert for the long drive home!

Another great days fishing on a great beat and a lovely way to finish the week.
