Feedback & Reports

Fished this beat up and down all day no barbel showing
one chub late in the day.

Feeder style fishing, using pellet and ground bait changing to meat. 4 chub on meat and 1 barbel late in session on pellet. The river was falling, windy and a few showers overcast.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

A very short visit after lunch and a lovely cock fish to finish the season - around 13lb on the length to weight chart. On a black and green micro tube on a floating line. Went back strongly. A great end to the season.

We enjoyed our day and meeting the two Salmon anglers on the beat. Plenty of room and options and easy to drive to the hut in a 4x4. Bites were finicky however as soon as we moved to touch ledgering we started to hit the fish after 4pm when the bites switched on. Fish caught on double hair rigged pellet and swimfeeder tactics. Great historic beat and fantastic service from the friendly Wye and Usk staff, worth every penny! Saw one salmon leap and you will see Kingfishers all along the stretch. Had a nice pint of beer in the Moon 5 mins away on the way home.

Great beat with the better pegs seeming to be towards the Lugg. Water had slight colour and a sunny sky. Fished with meat and pellets, very long walk if unable to drive down track but ok if dry.

River very low, clear & bright sunny conditions, fishing very difficult. Maggots caught small chub and trout and an eel fell to pellet.
First time on stretch and pleased with the variation of swims but no sign of barbel.

Warm and overcast day, river was at 1ft level (indicated opposite the hut where you can park). Myself and my Uncle (he caught the majority to be fair!) fished at two spots (Upper and Lower Sally's) adjacent to each other. We managed 12 Barbel ranging 2.5lb upto 7lb 2oz, along with 2 Chub around the 4lb mark. All but one caught on 8 or 10mm Halibut pellet with a feeder full of damped 3mm pellet, one Chub came to luncheon meat sent bouncing down the faster water just before the river Lugg (Pylon run).
