Feedback & Reports

River dropping but stretch unfishable, swims few and far between and all under water. Tree growth was unchecked. We have fished this stretch over the last 15 years and every time there are fewer and fewer safe swims. Didn't risk fishing at all. Wash off claimed.

River was up and over the croys but still very clear, there was meant to be four fishing again, but one still missing with man flu, DM and JM caught a decent Chub each early and called it a day due to work commitments. GW dug in the trenches hoping for more ,only to rewarded with three minnows. Hopefully get back next summer. Had a great few days thanks to the Wye and Usk.

2 Chub, 3 Other

Difficult session, two fished but very few bites and only one chub on the bank. Tried various baits and all swims.

Our first visit to this stretch and what a stunning and beautiful location it is. Took a few hours for either of us to get a first bite. Fished the mid section of the beat and just looked for a steady glide. All fish to pellet and or paste. River had dropped back to normal level after being well up a week ago and was surprisingly clear again. Fished bomb or feeder with a longer than normal hooklength because of the clarity. Banks very slippery would advise taking a rope to assist getting up and down from the water. Barbel weighed 9lb 7oz and all chub were around 2 to 2 and a half pounds mark. Wildlife a plenty made it a memorable day. A privilege to just be there.

A hard days fishing but eventually found the fish in far field. Caught on meat and pellet. Fish switched on around 2pm.

I would say with all the recent wet weather. The banks are dangerous and would be advisable to have spikes and rope for safety. For this reason this will probably be my last visit this season.

River dropping and looking good, swims few and far between and tree growth was unchecked. Only found two swims that were safely fishable but party was 4 in total..None at the Orchard end at all. We have fished this stretch over the last 15 years and every time there are fewer and fewer safe swims. At least the Cattle are no longer present. Considering the price it isn't very satisfactory.
