Another nice day at Sugwas Court. Two of us fished one swim and shared one rod for the majority of the session as it was a tight one but we knew the fish would be there.
Fished double 10mm elips pellets, size 8 hook and 1.25 oz lead, 10lb line. Very basic set up. No feeders today, feeding pellet with the catapult. The fish came steady through the day with the odd longer wait for a bite. Best barbel weighed 8lb12oz.
One of my favourite beats. Heard a cuckoo today for the first time in a couple of years too.

Great day at Sugwas. Fish were a little spooky, however everyone managed to have a good haul.

Fished early and late 6am ~ 11am and then 6pm ~ 9pm on lower section of beat. Found top section upstream of orchard through the woods impossible to fish.

Not the best day's fishing we've had on here. Plenty of fish visible but we just couldn't them feeding consistently. A recommendation for the Portway Inn, an ideal base for the WUF waters NW of Hereford, good food, comfortable & reasonably priced rooms and Wye Valley bitter at £3/pint!

Day one of our 5 day trip found the river low and clear with an unseasonably cold wind blowing. Fish were difficult to catch but a few were tempted by various pellets and boilies in the field downstream of the wood.

River was clear but looked great. I had barbel up to 9lb 1oz which was one of the best looking barbel I've ever caught. All fish apart from one barbel were caught between 9.00am and 6.00pm. Ledgered boilies and pellet.

Another new beat for me after lower carrots yesterday. After a delayed start began fishing in the field below the orchard in a swim slightly above a big house on the opposite bank which turned out to be quite snaggy and eventually managed to catch 4 big chub all over 4lb an 8lb+ barbel and a shad that grabbed my pellet hook bait on my final retrieve which was a first for me after never even seeing one before. A very enjoyable day in beautiful country side and once again a big thank you to W.U.F for making it all possible.

Fishing difficult on a low clear river but what a wonderful stretch with everything you need fast gravel runs deep sections and deep gulleys under trees. Tried touch legering and feeder fishing on both upper and lower sections but only a couple of Barbel to show late afternoon. Day was very hot and bright which did not help but still really enjoyable. My fellow angler had a kingfisher land on his rod tip which made his day. Lower section is very snaggy so lost and couple of feeders. Thanks again to WU for a wonderful stretch.

A great day on the river with the Barbel in great form. The fish were caught on boilies and pellet and ranged in size from 9 lb to 5 lb. All fish were in good condition. The lower swims can be prone to snags with a fair bit of tackle lost. With this being the second day of the season most swims had been cleared but, a few still needed to be cleared so it would have been useful to take a machete early in the season. An otter and a mink were spotted on the beat.

Fishing was a bit slow, all fish came on feeder tactics with pellet hookbaits. Some nice fish in great condition, the barbell ranged from 4lb to 9lb and the biggest chub went 6lb. Another lovely days fishing.
