Feedback & Reports

If any springers did get up here on the recent high water, they didn’t want any of the copper and brass tubes that I put in front of them .The trout were a bonus though, both quality fish of 15” and 16” that took a small Red Devil tube, both returned.

River fining down nicely now , not as cold and wet as forecast and a pleasant day .

2 Trout

3 x trout 12-17 inches, team of 3 spiders, all Waterhen Bloa. There was a hatch of large dark olives about 1 o'clock, but in a very cold and strengthening wind the rises were very few.

Barbel of 11lb 6oz. 3 small chub

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

Great day fishing swims in the first field below the woods. Rotated between pepperami, spam and pellets with the former doing best on the day. Both Barbel ca. 7-8lb caught in the last swim by the gate into the second field. One at 10am and the other as dusk fell. The Chub were all in a swim closer to the woods. Thanks Wye and Usk and the landowners.

Just one chub. Water only 7c that's probably why the barbel didn't show

1 Chub

Tried a variety of fishing methods today - pellets (large and small), meat, maggots, corn and bread but only managed 1 Chub. The river was at a good level and things looked good although it was very cold and the South Easterly wind made fishing a challenge. This is a lovely beat and I will be back again in the new season.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub
