Feedback & Reports

Parking in the church car park is convenient, however the walk down the track to the river is overgrown & tricky underfoot. The bank from the track up to Foy Bridge is completely overgrown making access to the wwater difficult. Thanks to the sheep maintaining the bank downstream access is better and I would agree with other anglers that if there were 4 rods you would find space limited. Canoeists were a problem later in the day but this is common at this time of year. All fish caught on pellets using the feeder method.

All Barbel caught on halibut pellet/feeder tactics.Chub caught on either feeder or trotted pellet. Thanks to the WUF.

Yet another beautiful stretch of the Wye. Access is OK although would not suit the physically less able. Weather was spot on, overcast. Fished the second swim up from the bottom of the beat. Three cracking barbel to 9lb and a 4lb chub in a short evening session, all fell to classic feeder and halibut pellet tactics. Oddly the smallest barbel put up the strongest fight.

We actually fished two days. The 8th. July we fished a stretch just below the Fairview Guest House, where we stayed in great comfort, with the very knowledgeable and great river angler Dave Harrell, who was our guide for the day. On this day it started off very well then we had a tremendous thunderstorm and torrential rain which definitely affected the fishing quite badly. despite this we caught two barbel and 16 chub.
The next day we fished the Lower Carrots and Luggs Mouth stretch,on our own but with a lot of advice and accumulated knowledge from Dave Harrell. We had 6 barbel up to about 8/9 lbs. and 15 chub up to 5lbs. plus, all good fish. All fish were taken trotting down using Dave's special floats and rig suggestions. It was lovely having this whole stretch entirely to ourselves. A most enjoyable trip!

Fished two afternoon sessions. The river level was good with a slight ting of colour on second day. Eight barbel, two chub and two good perch caught over two days.

Low river no sign of running salmon, wet fly used nothing caught. River clarity was good.
