Feedback & Reports

We had been advised to leave the adjacent fishery the day before, due to flooding, and a forecast of another meter of water expected, so decided not to fish

First time on beat,tried right bank at first .Good access and directions but accessible swims at bottom end of beat and my buckaroo days are in the past. Walked the length of the beat and spotted an opposite bank swim that looked good. Didn’t realise Goodrich left hand side is Middle Hill Court upper end.???? When eventually got to swim, IMPRESSED !! Strimmed off , steps cut into bank, even straw scattered on bank!! Great day all barbel not a single chub! Three proper ones , a couple of barblets ..may even had a double figure day.. can’t remember. Fished a mixture of baits all day and only caught on one obscure bait… weird!

Good day, tried upstream right hand side bank at first, good access and directions. Walked the length of the stretch, river pushing through. Only swims at bottom accessible/fishable. My Buckaroo days are behind me, but spotted swim on other side so tracked over to there.Half hour later..... Being dull didn't realise its the top section of MHC, dooohhh!!
Well , the swim had been strimmed, steps cut in, large , flat area over laid with straw. IMPRESSED!!!!!
Had a great day, for me anyway, three proper barbel, some beautiful miniature torpedoes(barblets). ....and a couple of mediums. It may even had been a double figures day...if I could count. Strangely not a chub all day.....go figure??? Tried a few baits but only caught on one strange concoction, only on a lead not on a a feeder??
Fishing is ......a funny old game...love it!!

Great day fishing. River was up, tea coloured and pushing through but plenty of slower water in the margins. Fished the left hand bank on the bottom with the feeder and had very quick success in the morning with two barbal and two chub. Swim went quiet at midday but came on again later in the afternoon resulting in one more chub. All fish were fin perfect, let them rest up for a good while before they swam off strongly back into the river.
Great communication from the fishing passport team, had a great day and look forward to booking on again in the future. Beautiful scenery on this stretch, kingfishers and lots of song birds for company

River very coloured and rising on arrival with lots of debris coming through. Found a fishable peg and had a testing but most enjoyable day on the bank with a lovely barbel each. Definitely return next year to the beautiful river wye. Thankyou all.

Nice to be able to park next to the river, seamed to be quite a fast shallow stretch, found one swim with some deeper slower water which I started in, caught a Chub after about an hour then decided to explore the rest of the beat, the other swims were difficult to access some with steep banks all with fast shallow water, returned to my original swim to catch another Chub. Glad I was the only one on the beat & was able to move back into my original swim. Fished the RH bank as you look upstream, fish caught on Robin Red pellet

The river was pretty low (1.5m on) and very clear today and with bright sunshine all day not ideal conditions. I blanked. I tried groundbait feeder and pellet, also had a go on the maggot feeder to try to winkle out a chub. Only found three swims that could be fished. This stretch is very overgrown and with virtually no access to the river. However for a tenner in winter it’s not the end of the world. Not sure I will rush back though. Middle Hill Court next door is a better beat.

River high and rising, no fish today

A for me very productive short (4 hours) session and my first on the Wye all to feeder and meat boile My first barbel at 8lb 6 oz and a pb Chub of 4.5 a good day :)
