Feedback & Reports

After the heartbreak of losing 3 barbel on last year's trip I couldn't believe my luck when I caught a barbel weighing in at 9lb 6oz. Special thanks goes to my fishing mate Arran who gave up his swim to make this capture possible. It took me several hours to stop shaking with excitement! The barbel and the chub were all caught on boiling again, thanks to Arran for supplying me with bait screws and rig advice.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

no salmon seen or caught. Leaves aplenty in the river!

A lovely stretch of river with lots of access to the river. Started at the slower deeper sections and worked down the beat.
Found more bites in pegs with quicker paced water.
chub came first and was beginning to think no barbel would be seen - then 2 fish in the afternoon as the sun went behind the treeline.
both fish around 6lbs and very hard fighting - caught to feeder + pellet
*There are a couple of fences / a small foot bridge to climb over - i can imagine this being difficult if you are less fit!
** the very first fence and stile is broken and VERY wobbly - this could cause an accident PLEASE TAKE CARE
*** am not a dog lover by any means but a dog walker told of how her dog managed to eat a bait that was attached to a hook while the rods were left unattended. This happened some time ago in summer i think she said. She asked if anglers could ensure their hooks didnt have baits on while out of the water and you take a walk!

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

Hoping to finish the season off with a fish but no joy. Paddle boarders entered the river at Boughrood Bridge and travelled down through the beat. I told them they should not be there, only to be threatened to have my face smashing in. Not for the first time this season. Something needs to be done

4pm. 14lbs. Coloured cock. Top of Gutter / Tail of Boat. 8# Long-tailed Thunder.

1 Salmon

Nice conditions if a little bright. Lost a fish during the afternoon on a red francis.

Nyth & Ter Celyn - Lincoln Seligman- first Wye salmon - 10lb from Hoelvach at 11am. Congratulations!
