Feedback & Reports

I picked a real “Phew what a scorcher” day to fish and was rewarded with a seemingly non-stop flow of boat traffic, with a good number of badly burnt oarsmen and women….ouch! This and the very low level of the river added up to a lot of chub between 8oz to 1lb plus a barbel around 6lb. Fished pellet on the hook and in the feeder, and moved around a lot as there were very few anglers on the beat.

Many thanks to the landowner and The Wye & Usk Foundation for a enjoyable day’s fishing. A stunning spot and will definitely return in the Autumn to more water and less boats!

1 Barbel, 22 Chub

Due to the very high temperatures only fished from 7pm until 10 river very low and minimal flow tried several different baits but no fish caught.

Lovely morning fishing with my son

Fishing was ruined by people swimming in your swim all day .

To hot ...blanked

Day cut short by nasty head injury sustained when I tripped going down the bank and a small tree that I grabbed for support snapped. Fortunately my wife was with me and got me to Brecon hospital. Very grateful for a good pair of sunglasses which survived the impact of my head with the bedrock and probably saved one eye. Other than that had some good sport with a DHE on the lower beat despite the heat and had just walked to the upper beat to get away from the many swimmers. Lovely beat which I hope to fish again in better circumstances.
