Feedback & Reports

River fairly low but maybe a touch of colour. Happy enough to get 4 barbel under the conditions. All between 6lbs and 8lbs, all fighting fit and all to small pellets or boilies with PVA bags.
Enjoyable day on a very nice fishery. Thank you WUF.

4 Barbel

Best Barbel was 8lb 12ozs and the chub were caught to 4lbs 8ozs. All fish were caught on various combinations of feeder fished pellet from both ends of the beat. Excellent days fishing.

Cold start to the day but the weather soon warmed up. Best barbel was 9lb 11ozs and biggest chub was 5lb 1oz. All fish were caught on feeder using various combinations of pellet.

Had a good day, weather perfect in the morning, rain and drizzle, hot and sunny in the afternoon but still managed to catch all day. 10 barbel, 3 over 9lb, all caught on pellet feeder. A really nice beat, my only complaint, not enough swims. More need to be available to anglers if 3 or 4 turned up. Anyway, a great day it was a joy to watch loads of salmon jumping.
Just a word on accommodation. We stopped at the Inn on the Wye at £65 a night for 2. Good value.

River up a couple of feet but didn't start catching until evening.

3 Barbel, 3 Chub

A delightful stretch of water which I selected in the hope my dad would catch his first barbel but the fishing was slow with only a couple of chub falling for meat that had to be bounced in the flow (they weren't interested in the static bait). 2 barbel came out at the top of the beat early evening around the 8lb mark. A great venue that I know produces quality catches on its day.

The fishing was in a very beautiful surroundings but very slow fishing.

1 Chub

Very nice stretch of the Wye. River levels were up slightly following a few weeks of very low levels (from what I read on previous reports) with some colour to it.
Conditions were overcast at first with a bit of rain, however this then turned to bright sunshine for the rest of the day.
Caught 4 Barbel to 8.5lbs and 8 Chub to 4lbs between us. All fish were caught using open ended feeder with pellet/groundbait and CBS River Monster hook baits.
I was concerned about the Water pipe/hump on the track that people have reported on. This needs attention as a lower vehicle could bottom out/ cause damage to undercarriage. My A4 Avant was OK over it but only just.
