Feedback & Reports

River had good colour & was pushing through looked like it had dropped overnight as banks were treacherous started in the cattle drink swim & hooked a Barbel after a couple of hours witch came off, cast back to the same spot & hooked another one soon after which put up an awesome fight all quiet after so moved down to the bottom field where the Chub were in residence, a lovely sunny day, love coming here stayed until sunset in the hope the Barbel would feed again, all fish caught on feeder tactics with Robin red pellets

1 Barbel, 9 Chub

Was a bit concerned about the beat reading past reports about the swim access .
Must of hit river right as after first flush through it opened up all swims in first field and could fish the whole stretch at 1 mtr
Fished from 9 until 4 not the best times but the chubb we’re definitely on Having 25 between us all good average biggest 5 lb 3 oz on all baits
One small barble with a lone bait away from chubb fishing

Fished two spots attempting to find the barbel and avoid the smaller chub. Standard feeder and ledger methods. Caught 8 chub all around 3lb to 4lb in size.

Warm, difficult day. Access to water was better than thought, but there were only really 5 accessible pegs across the stretch. One of which needed a little gardening and but for a 3 metre landing net, would've proved an impossible place to bring them in. Bank and vegetation were dry, a completely different proposition on wet day, and not for the faint hearted.
That said, there were some very interesting stretches here, and the potential for some large fish. Water was low and clear throughout. Plenty of Ranunculus about, which was good to see. Visible fish included Chub (standard Wye fare) and some very big Perch, one of which was easily a 4lb fish.
Pellet, meat and boilie rewarded, of which meat seemed to be most successful. Nothing consistent. Think fish here may have been easily spooked. Good fight from all Chub. Largest of which was about 5 and a half, Perch was about half a pound. Pike around later on. Seemingly rather large.

6 Chub, 1 Other
