Feedback & Reports

Difficult day so glad the chub fed periodically. Warm day with a mix of cloud and sun.

I have fished many of the Wye and Usk beats and have never posted a negative report until now, access to the river upstream of the parking is ok but the flow is slow and deep not ideal for Barbel. Downstream of the parking where the shallower faster water is all overgrown with no access to the water. There is also no marker upstream to show the end of the beat and it would be very easy to encroach on to the Goodrich Salmon fishery. In my view unless work is done clearing access to the downstream part of the beat this fishery is a waste of money.

Weather hot and sunny, though the river was carrying a tinge of colour that helped. Fished from the car park to the top beat limit. Checked the lower half of the fishery and must agree with other anglers comments that it is virtually unfishable due to the overgrown banks and lack of accessible swims. I would not recommend this fishery to anyone a bit unsteady on their feet.Majority of fish caught on meat with a couple of Chub on pellet.

I managed 1 barbel of just over 7lbs at 8pm , wall to wall hot sunshine put the fish off.

first time fishing this beat , fishing very hard as very hot and sunny
fish taken on meat
NOW FOR THE BITS I HATE TO DO
COULD ONLY FISH TOP SECTION OF THE CARPARK AS NO ACCESS TO THE RIVER AT BOTTOM SECTION ALSO
COULD NOT FIND TOP MARKER POST AT TOP THAT MARKS END OF BEAT. ALSO SOMETHING TO BARE IN MIND ON ENTERING THROUGH THE GATE TO THE CARPARK THE FARMER IS RUNNING PIPE THROUGH THE FIELD SO HAVE TO GO OVER A HUMP WITH A METAL GURDER IN IT SO WILL CATCH THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CAR IF YOU DON"T HAVE ENOUGH CLEARANCE

We had a rove around in the afternoon and had one barbel and two chub on bomb and pellet then settled into a swim for the evening.
The barbel didn't come on until 8.15pm, chub very active before that.
Best fish of the day was 9.10

Very Hot conditions and bright sunshine made fishing difficult. most fish caught early am near car park area. Not many swims or access points to river to enable wading. Downstream from car park. Could do with some clearance to offer access into river and more swims.

All fish caught on pellet/feeder.

Scorching hot day, river carrying a bit of colour. Had two fish from the top peg, then made my way down to the rope pool where I had a further five plus some chub. Blockend with micros and 6mm pellet on hook, fished close in under the downstream bush.
