Feedback & Reports

Thank you WUF for a wonderful days fishing. Tried fishing the upper section in waders and trotting sweet corn, but besides catching a couple of resident chub, no barbel could be seen. Went down stream and saw a large shoal flashing in fast shallow water. To only get to them by wading. We caught 1 barbel of approx 7lb and then lots of 4-5 chub which was nice but not our target quarry. It was a beautiful day and we had some adventures. Thank you.

The river was low and clear and, despite being overcast it was a hot and humid. Fished the downstream (field) stretch morning and afternoon (4 chub; 3 Barbel). We then fished the orchard stretch first thing in the evening (1 chub), before returning to the lower stretch for the last hour of fishing (2 barbel). Largest fish: chub 4.5 lb; barbel 9lb.

Very sunny, river low. Roving approach proved to be key.

All fish caught on pellet , barbel showing most of the day in the ‘going swim’ 2 barbel lost due to someone’s old snagged line left in swim (2/3rds across river ) . River very low and slow moving , hard going but lovely stretch.

After two difficult days on the Wye we finally found some fish.
This beat was very difficult, water very low and clear and zero flow but we found a lovely stretch in the top wood with a small gravel beach where there was a decent amount of flow running down a gully on the far bank.

2 barbel of around 6-7lbs and 3 nice size chub between us.

Didn’t fish today after three frustrating days on the wye. Think we need to wait for some rain.
