Feedback & Reports

Lovely sunny day but the river was running very low and clear. We fished at the lower end of the beat and after a slow start the fish eventually came on the feed. We stuck with the conventional feeders and luncheon meat or sweet corn baits. We did lose a fair amount of end equipment on snags but that is the Wye for you. A great day with 2 of the chub exceeding 5 lbs and the barbel up to 9 and half pounds. Saw plenty of wildlife including the kingfisher on his territory. This environment on a well maintained beat is what fishing is all about and as ever Colin the bailiff was full of helpful advice.

Very good day for both of us. Many barbel and chub, but without specimen fish (chub average 3-4 lb, barbel 5-7).

Lovely section of river with fantastic access to the water. My son Sam and I enjoyed a fabulous day stood in the river trotting for chub with corn. We took it in turns to gillie for each other and even managed a nap on the bank. Will definitely be back to this beat, well worth the money.

River low and crystal clear with bright sun. Not the best conditions but a beautiful day to be on the river.

Fished from 07:00 until 19:00. Took all the fish on pellet from the far bank margins on feeder. Great setting. Caught up with Colin, who is as always provided useful info on how and where to get those extra fish. Fabulous day. Will definitely be back.

Good Days fishing on this beat. We both had a nice day and caught 8 Barbel and 15 Chub. The weather was perfect, overcast and a little bit of wind to keep us cool. Met and spoke to Colin again who was very helpful. Can't wait for our next visit in October.

Third visit to this fantastic beat. The river conditions were spot on up over two feet from the recent rain with a good bit of colour.
I fished one of the croys early in the day with little success only a few chub caught (my wife preferred this area it was warm and sunny) can't complain she brought the picnic nothing better than smoked salmon bagels and glass of something sparkling sat by the Wye in the sunshine. I then moved to the favoured part of the beat and wow I didn't stop catching for four hours barbel and chub every cast, feeder fished pellet was the method it was pushing though to much for me to present a bait on the float I did try and couldn't get them going.
It was nice as always to have a chat to Colin and thanks to him for his help and advice.
One of the best days fishing I have had in many years. Looking forward to next time.
Thanks to the WUF for providing the best course fishing beat on the river
