Feedback & Reports

River low and clear as expected although did rise by around a foot in afternoon which seemed to coincide with more bites. Single Barbel of 6lb from lower pool plus 4 Chub with a further 5 Chub to pool in middle of beat all fell to meat bait either rolled or ledgered.

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

Fly only. Fish seen by me but none caught. Ray the Guille could not have been more helpful.

River in great condition after some rain but fishing was hard...only four chub despite fishing every swim on the beat.

Dreadful weather with strong downstream wind pushing torrential rain. I quickly gave up and sat reading in my car until the promised break in weather. This arrived at about 3 pm. I quickly raced back and saw rising fish above the bridge below the rocks.Initial offering of grey duster refused but a quick change to klinkhammer immediately brought two trout of 15" to net. A third trout of 9" soon followed but so did the strong wind and heavy rain. The eye of the storm had passed in less than 45 minutes.

Very wet, cold and windy; river very low; one 9" and two small trout on dry fly.

Rain for most of the day. No fish rising but caught 10 trout on nymph patterns. Glad to get out of the rain in fishing hut! If you are taking your car down the track
off main road for the first time go slow!.. drops straight down to river and not much turning space at the bottom, but wading harder than the parking. Felt soles a must.
Enjoyed the day and a great stretch of river.

Fished Tuesday 16th & Wednesday 17th September.
Tuesday - S.W opted to fish the maggot and Hemp by the gallon. The result was a bite a cast, all under 1/2lb, mostly chub but also minnows, bleak, dace, roach, perch & brown trout, all on feeder with 10lb hook link!!! No barbell so a bad tactical decision but worth a shot. In cooling temperatures it has worked well on the Severn before.
D.S opted for boilie, pellet & pellet ground bait combination and moved swims in response to local knowledge to bag 14 good chub to 5lb and a last gasp 7lb plus barbel
having lost two good barbel earlier in the day in the top of stretch swims.
Wednesday - the previous days rain impacted on the stretch seeing over 2 feet of cold dirty flood water hit the river at about 10am. D.S had a 5lb chub and 7lb barbel in first two casts but that was last of action until last thing when he managed two more barbel in flood conditions.
S.W. lost one Barbel on meat, but there was no other activity other than bleak, dace & chub on float.
All in all a challenging two days, but as always on the Wye a pleasure to be there!!

Stunning location, fish taken on dry and nymph. Enjoyable day fishing even though it rained continually.

Another good day on the Wye. One of the chub had a deformed upper lip, in that most of it was missing, very odd to look at. All of the fish were caught on a feeder and pellet method, river very low despite it raining most of the day. Thank you WUF for making the fishing possible, keep up the good work.

Salmon of around 15lb took a boilie on the retrieve but broke the hooklength after a few minutes of fun. Lots of chub but barbel still not feeding in earnest.
