Feedback & Reports

Arrived at 5pm for an evening session. Slightly overcast and breezy but warm. Fished the upper end of the beat alternating between feeder with pellet and touch ledgering with meat. Eels and chub on the meat but no sign of barbel. Moved swim for last hour and had a take on the first cast from a barbel 8-9lb followed by a good chub.
Still lots of weed drifting downriver.

First time fishing on the Wye, unfortunately didn’t catch a Barbel but managed to get 3 reasonably sized Chub 3-5lbs which saved the blank. Used ground bait and 4mm pellets in feeder with luncheon/pepperami on the hair. Lovely surroundings and very quiet. Look forward to returning.

Eels were about on the meat. Lots of small Chub on the float in the woods. More swimmers than canoes!

Arrived for an evening session at about 5.30. Beautiful evening, water had good colour and looked promising. Only one fish about 7lb for the session on feeder using big pellets for hook bait. Fair bit of weed about but not too problematic really.

What a beautiful place to fish! Fished from "the manhole" in the meadow, as suggested in the excellent notes. Arrived at 0500, fished until 1500. Five chub, one eel and a single barbel of 6.5 Kg (14 pound). Facebook tells me that's a big barbel! Fought like mad. Lost 4-5 chub (I suspect) early in the day. All fish caught on large spam baits.

Water slightly coloured, fine algae-like strings building up on line. Not a problem. My first time river fishing since 2011-2012 I think. Awesome! I'll be back!
