Feedback & Reports

The river was very low and clear and the weather sunny and bright.
I booked Tim Lennon for the day as my guide. He showed me his methods, which I hadn't used before and within half an hour I had my first barbel. We used pva bags with 6&8mm pellets in the bag and 8mm pellet on the hook. We ended up with 10 barbel and 1 chub.
Had a really great day and would like to thank Tim whom I learnt a lot from and the wye and usk foundation.

10 Barbel, 1 Chub

Lovely day, lovely conditions, never saw a fish until late afternoon when there were fish moving in the Cockpit. Otherwise very quiet but felt very good indeed. MUST TRY HARDER!!!

Lovely day. Water clear and low (4" on Brecon gauge)and 60F. 3 fish caught, best 2 3/4lbs, 2 on nymphs and one on dry fly. There was a steady trickle of LDOs and smaller olives. All fish returned.

3 Trout

8 Barbel

River still very low and clear, hence most fish came in the morning and evening. A standard feeder and pellet approach accounted for all fish (fishmeal groundbait / 8-10 mm pellets / size 12 short hair), from the slower deeper area positioned in the middle of the beat. Directions to Middle Hill Court were excellent and access to the fishing good. Yet another top class fishing opportunity provided by WUF. We'll be back for some Autumn/Winter sport in a few weeks time.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

River a little low and sun very bright. No sign of fish rising, tried a range of methods, NZ with a bright gold head resulted in a number of small finger length trout. Think I need to practice a bit more. This is a super place to fish and will return next season, hopefully when more water in the river.
