Feedback & Reports

Due to traffic problems, only fished for 3.5hrs from 5pm. A very expensive blank no signs of fish.

Very enjoyable beat to fish, easy access to most of the pools, saw 1 salmon show. Caught a 9lb pike. There were a few canoes coming down but no where near as many as some of the lower beats I've fished & being a Bank Holiday weekend.
Many thanks again Wye & Usk Foundation for ease of booking & an enjoyable days fishing.

1 Pike

Similar to the previous day on The Creel, very difficult.
Had two small barbel 3-4lb early on then nothing. The previous two nights had been cold (even got an ice warning from my car on the way up! This is August?)and was very cold when the sun went in so perhaps this was having an affect. The river was clear but with a good flow but apart from the first few casts absolutely no sign of barbel at all.

Fly fishing - a few fish moving but didn't hook anything.
River rose very quickly on Friday with cold water, not great conditions. Nice part of the world.
Catch records suggest a better chance with a spinner.

Lovely beat spoiled by dog walkers with dogs swimming in pegs. Numerous cars up and down all day, understandably getting the road ready for the show. I did not realise it was a public byway and after paying over £90 for two anglers expected a bit more peace and privacy.

2 Chub

Nice beat, found some fish in the fast water. Very slow, all fish caught on swim feeder with pellets. Lots of cars up and down getting ready for the country fair need some rain.

We had 20 people taking their dogs for swims and swimming in the swims suitable for low level Summer fishing all day.
Disastrous.

Feeder fished for barbel. Caught first fish within 5 minutes, 7lb. Other fish between 5lb and 6lb. River low and clear, bright sunlight. Fished different pegs and only caught on one peg. Really enjoyed the day, looking forward to returning in the near future. The access to this stretch is excellent as you can drive your car to any peg along the river. Highly recommended.

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

A nice cloudy and damp morning period resulted in 2 barbel to 8lb 3oz. Returned at 6pm and caught 1 barbel and a chub.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished the croys from early morning to 11am, and caught 5 nice sized chub to 5lb 1oz. Returned at 6pm and caught 4 barbel in 4 casts, up to 7lb 5oz. All fish caught on pellets.
