Feedback & Reports

First time fishing the Wye had a fantastic day, all fish caught on pellet and ground bait feeder caught from lunch time onwards with a lull about 3. Had 2 barbel at 8lb 4 around 6lb 2 at 5lb and one around 4lb; chub from 4lb to 2 1/2 lb. A great day as I've never caught barbel before. Will be back again, lovely place to be and fish. Water was clear.

Fished stretch few hundred yards below the island, caught all fish to pellet and groundbait feeder. 2 barbel around 7lb, 2 barbel around 6lb, 2 barbel around 5lb, 3 chub all around 3lb. Was a quiet first hour, then several fish in quick succession, a lull in the afternoon and finished off with a few in quick succession again. Fantastic day in beautiful surroundings; will definitely be back.

River low and dropping and Barbel 4lbs to 8lbs caught very late in day. EP had 6 chub on trotted breadflake ranging from about 1lbs to 4.5lbs-a proper way to catch fish!!

River low and dropping with a hint of colour. Fishing very slow with all fish caught after 5pm. Chub ranged from 3lbs to 4.5lbs, barbel 9lbs. Tried a variety of baits but all fish fell to Halibut pellets. Plenty of wildlife-kingfishers, buzzards and a red kite.

A difficult day, blazing sunshine and a stiff breeze that was a bit chilly. This is a fishery I know well, so after the previous day's sport at Foy I had high hopes of a bumper catch, however apart from one chub in the morning, absolutely nothing until 5-6 pm when the barbel started to come on the feed. The barbel were of average size i.e. 6-8 lb on feeder/pellet. The colour was dropping out of the water together with a slowly falling level and I suspect the sunshine kept the fish away till late... . But it was another great day out.

A very tough day in tough conditions (very bright all day with a strong/cold easterly wind, lower than expected river levels running fairly clear. apart from a couple of hard earned chub nothing prior to the sun going down. Had 1 barbel around 6.5/7lb on last cast.
(my friend who was fishing with me in the same swim also had 3 barbel at the very end of the day with all the fish coming in the last hour or so). If we could have stayed longer I'm pretty sure we would have carried on catching..

This was our first visit to the Creel and can see why it is such a popular venue for those of us that fish the Wye on a regular basis.
A beautiful stretch and a glorious Autumn day added to the uplifting experience of fishing there..all we had to do was try and catch a few fish to cap a perfect day. We had no success float fishing in the strong flow but groundbait feeder found the Barbel and also our first double...a fantastic fish weighing 10lb 4oz!!
Needless to say but we look forward to returning next year and thank the WUF for their assistance once again.
