Our first time on Fownhope and we arrived to find the river very high,fast and cold.

Having made a long journey we decided to give it a go with "Somehope" but not surprisingly struggled and only managed to catch just one good Chub just shy of 5lb and 3 small ones in the 8oz bracket.

But no complaints from us after reading the efforts of M.W. of Stalybridge on March 3rd...That must have been a nightmare of a trek in the snow to catch a Chub...but demonstrates the passion some coarse anglers have for fishing on the Wye. Bravo guys!!

A days Chub fishing using just good old bread and mash on a perfect winters river. Started at the top of the beat and despite several moves I only had one bite which promptly snagged me solid! A move into the wood and the bottom of the beat produced 6 Chub up to near 5lb. A further lost fish which I just could not stop reaching a bush upstream left me wondering what it was, after a lot of thought I think it may have been a Carp. A lovely day on the river, very enjoyable.

A perfect day on the Wye with good flow, a little colour and a mild, cloudy, still day. I caught barbel at regular intervals throughout the session on pellet/feeder. Most were in the five to seven pound range with the largest at 7lbs-11ozs.

Couple of hours after work produced a nice double figure pike on a mackerel tail from the upper end of the beat, lost a fish also. River low-ish and clear water, warm sunshine for the time of year.

It's a shame that WUF cannot offer a discounted half day ticket, as to pay £23 for 3 hours fishing seems rather a lot.

Fished top field only one bite all day ,save a few dace on the float but it was a chub over 4lbs.
Think there were more fish to be had but first visit here and enjoyed the day.
