Feedback & Reports

Four of us fished today. One only for the last few hours. Conditions were not ideal. Low water and mostly bright sun. By mid afternoon only a few Chub had been caught, although the best ar 4lbs 3ozs was a nice fish. Don came down in the afternoon and following his advice we moved upstream and 3 of us caught in the last hour of daylight. 4 barbel between us, the best 9lbs 6ozs. One notable capture was an eel that weighed 2lbs 10ozs.

Fished the meadow from mid afternoon until dark. River still quite low and clear.

River conditions - low, with little flow. No activity during the day but things improved as the evening wore on. PB barbel at 9lb 8oz on pellet fished into the flow.

Originally booked Wyebank but due to the low water levels elected to look at then fish this beat which I fished last season. Fished the swims in the upper part of the beat. All fish taken at various distances from the bank. Fish were 11lb 5oz, 10lb 3oz, 9lb 4oz, 8lb, 8lb and 2 x 5lb. Great day and all bar 2 of the hundred of canoeists were brilliant and gave me lots of room. All fish to fell to 12mm dumbells and pellet feeders.

River still low but very little drifting debris to contend with. Fished in the meadow to the far bank to find fish and avoid mid-stream snags using standard pellet and feeder tactics. Bites came at intervals through the afternoon. Fish included a baby barbel and two chublets. Weather was mixed with occasional showers.
Generally a good day, as usual with virtually no canoe traffic. Thanks WUF.

River was looking in good condition and slightly coloured, sadly the fishing was rather slow managed two barbel on meat cast the the far side.

The three of us fished in the first field and we all struggled to catch anything on a low and clear river which had clearly been heavily fished during the summer, we all felt that the extra rods allowed has had an effect on the fishing, we had two small barbel a chub and two eels, but still an enjoyable day. We all fished feeder tactics.

River in excellent condition, slightly up and coloured, but the fishing was slow. All the fish were caught on feeder and pellets. Don the fella that leases the stretch came down and was very helpful and informative.

Nothing today on what was a challenging day. Lovely stretch again on the Wye. Lots of Kayaks about which I can handle but when 6 people turn up and start swimming in the river just above you shouting their heads off I gave up.

Weather hot, fishing poor.
