Feedback & Reports

Had a great day fishing for barbel on the Wyebank beat, conditions were not easy with the water level up, running fast and plenty of colour. I caught 12 barbel with the biggest being 11lb 12oz, a big long lean fish.... Would like to catch it at its winter weight! Also had 4 chub. Booked an extra rod for a friend who caught 5 barbel and 6 chub. All fish were caught on halibut pellets and feeding a mixture of sizes in PVA bags, fishing in the deeper runs and slower water. Very enjoyable and look forward to my next visit.

The river was running a little high however my friend and I still managed to catch six barbel (Three each) and five chub. Barbel from five to seven pounds in weight. All caught on pellet, fishing the barbel bomb method. All fish came from fishing up close to over hanging bushes. My first barbel came within ten seconds of fishing, fastest caught fish of my life! We had an absolute fantastic time fishing our first time on the wye. We both look forward to coming back to fish the Wye very soon.

Booking spot on as usual - no carp seen or caught today -
2 bream caught, much to my surprise, 4.5lb on bottom
fished boilie and 5.75lb on pop up.
son ended up as the eel specialist with 5 caught - biggest just over 2lb.
looking forward to next visit.

Great day on a really nice river. 7 WBT including one at 15"-18" long: lovely fish. Will go back.

3 barbel. 1 eel.

Trout x 5 on spinner & worm. Excellent staff, very helpful.

A pleasure, as always, to fish this beat. We caught 16 Barbel over the two days from 3lb up to just under 9lb, so a solid if unspectacular result. Strangely no sign of any Chub at all (I'm not complaining however!).
The river rose quickly on Sunday afternoon, which seemed to switch the fish off completely. As soon as it stopped rising a few hours later the activity resumed.

2 rainbow trout on worm, float.

2 x Rainbow Trout, caught on worm near the eastern, middle parking spot. Approx weight of fish would be between 1.25-1.5lbs.

Two small brown trout (approx 6 inches)caught on parachute adams, both returned. A number of other takes on a size 20 GRHE, but nothing successfully landed. Conditions very difficult due to strong wind. Despite this I observed some limited hatches of various olives and a few rises.
