Feedback & Reports

Very few swims to choose from. This could be a good length but requires considerable effort by the Foundation to cut out places. I wouldn't recommend anything but a 4 X 4 to gain access

Fished a few swims on a dropping river but no bites

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

No fish

River was at a good height - not flooded like previous week. Used a pork/ham mixed luncheon meat on hook and a breadcrumb/meat mix in the feeder. Fish came in an hour spell at 10.30ish. Beautiful and powerful fish.

Fantastic stretch of water, very high, coloured and powerful. No fish but I'll be back...

Braved the torrential rain on Home Fishery and got rewarded with my new PB of 11lb! 1 bite, 1 fish and my first ever double. Caught in slack water on a spicy sausage boilie wrapped in my homemade cheese paste.

Chuffed is an understatement - been a real struggle on my home turf (River Severn) so this more than makes up for it.

Fishing karma struck later, rushing to open a tin of spam. My hitch hiking career is over

Arrived at the Home stretch of the River Wye just as it was getting light. It was overcast, raining hard and the river was carrying a slight tinge of colour and had a good pace to it. Within twenty minutes of starting to fish we had our first fish of the day and we continued to catch over the course of the day resulting in seven barbel (6lb 1oz, 6lb 4oz, 7lb 9oz, 8lb 7oz, 8lb 10oz, 9lb 8oz and 9lb 11oz) and a chub (5lb 7oz) between us.

All fish were caught on running leger rigs with paste wrapped hookbaits and PVA bags of pellets.

Very pleasant day but quiet fishing with little interest despite trying a range of baits and methods.
