Feedback & Reports

Fished for only a few hours morning and evening - weather turned hot and canoe traffic became heavy during the day. Just the one Barbel to around 6lb and four Chub to around 3lb, all to feeder and pellet tactics. Overall enjoyable day on a scenic beat, very picturesque at dawn and dusk.

Hard work today very wet, problems young cows wanted to sit on your lap or get under your brolly which ment you spent more time watching your gear than fishing but that’s cows for you, the main disappointment was tried to fish the woods but it’s was like a little village full of wild campers and all the nice swims was full of kayaks and all there gear, so we couldn’t fish the woods at all so couldn’t get away from cows, had to use spike and rope to get out of some swims, definitely recommend one in the wet, hill was fun to drive on way out.

New venue for us, interesting access to the beat.
Mixed weather of sun and overcast but no rain, ideal day. River height looked good but very coloured. We are more used to the middle Wye beats with fast shallow and clearer water. This has deep runs with a slower river pace. We had some good weight chub but the barbel deluded us. We tried a variety of baits that have been previously successful, just one of those days.
The location is stunning, a beautiful part of the Wye Valley.

First time we've fished this beat so walked most of it to find not many obvious swims but enough. River was up a foot with some colour. We had high hopes but couldn't make the most of it. Biggest chub was 3lb and the barbel a baby. One big fish was lost but that was it. Commitments meant we couldn't fish past 6....
