Feedback & Reports

Day 3: Yet more rain over night! The banks were very slippery so just getting in a swim was tricky. A had a chub of about 3lb on pellet and a roach around 1lb.

Day 2: More rain over night. Weather was cold and the river was high. Fished pellet and meat in a few swims, again without success.

Day 1: Arrived to find the river high and coloured. Identified a few swims and fished pellet for barbel or chub without any success. Back again tomorrow.

Went for a last go at barbel fishing, not much luck. One chub of about 2lbs caught early on using a swim feeder with maggots. Tried pellet and meat on the ledger and swim feeder neither produced anything. The river did seem high and the water was less clear probably due to the rain the day before. Looks like a good spot for barbel and is definitely worth returning when more barbel are feeding and the water is in better condition.

Three of us fished for Pike with baits and lures but did not catch anything. One large Pike was lost at the net at the very top of the beat. A very nice part of the river and the WUF service was great.

Tough day, river low and clear. Barbel not playing ball. A few pike on lures saved the day.

We booked 2 rods for the day, our first time ever fishing on the Wye. We took a punt on which beat to fish, we wanted Caradoc but its always fully booked.
We loved the surroundings but don't think we would fish this beat again. We found the swims very limited for a 1 mile stretch of river and found only about 4-5 swims that were safe enough to actually fish from.
The directions were also someway sparse and the fishery itself not enough basic info on the place not even the name of the beat/fishery anywhere to be seen and we had to check with the local farmer to check we were in the right place!
As said loved the surrounds, the fishing was quite slow we only had 1 small barbel at 6lb.10 and lost 1, bait that caught was a small pellet boilie with some paste wrap. Lovely looking mint fish.
Will defo fish the Wye again as the whole area is stunning, but we need to do some research as to where to fish and this time we would like to meet someone there that could tell us a bit about the beat.

2 x barbel to 9lb on pellet from the top end of the fishery. Not a touch after around 2pm. Very muddy! Thanks again WUF.

9 barbel between 7lbs 6oz up to 10lbs 2 oz. 4 chub up to 5lbs and 2 grayling.

River and weather in perfect condition, only problem was the leaves drifting down stream. After trying meat, corn, mini boilies and pellet all morning with no joy the concern was would we catch. Luckly the afternoon produced 5 barbel to 9lb, no surprise on pellet. What a great setting to fish in and will return.
