Feedback & Reports

Lovely day to be out on the river, tried several swims but could not get a bite, river was up & pushing through fast. Found a nice slack just above the island which l thought would contain fish but proved fruitless. Always nice to be on the Wye will return when conditions are more favourable.

On advice from Colin we fished below the island as the river was still up. Had great views of fiddlers elbow and birdlife. Also found some slacker water. Best barbel was on little 8mm pellet and lead, 6lb 8oz. Smaller ones on the feeder and boilie. Quite a few pike active. Fished backed off during the day downstream under trees. Final swim before gate became most productive. Nice beat will be back in the summer!

6 Barbel, 4 Chub

Almost a wash out. 1 Barbel at the end of the session.

Returning to normal levels but strong flow made holding bottom difficult. Only 2 Barbel on pellet between 3 anglers plus a few chub. A surprise 14lb 6oz pike stayed hooked after grabbing a small chub.

First time on this accessible and interesting stretch - perhaps more of a low water venue than when we fished - about 6' on. Plenty of swims with nice creases but we struggled for 3 chub, I roach ,1 dace and an eel. Colin the keeper really helpful and friendly. Would love to return in the summer.

3 Chub, 3 Other
