Feedback & Reports

The river was a bit above normal level but perfectly fishable, we fished in the top section in the rapids, fishing very slow as can be seen by the catch return
Method used fishmeal and pellet feeder with either a drilled 8mm pellet hair rigged or two fishmeal "flatz" superglued on a hair

A lovely day on a venue we have not fished for many years. Despite the near perfect conditions the fishing was a little slow. However we were treated to a wildlife extravaganza, ducks and offspring of many varieties, kingfishers, buzzards, a red kite and very tame swans who were happy to just walk right past us on route to a sleep in the corn field.
The two Barbel were 4lb and 6lb but the surprise of the day was a rainbow trout 2lb ish which took a pellet. A glorious looking fish safely returned for another day.
A sunny day, wildlife in abundance, a few fish and the castle as the backdrop it is pretty hard not to have a good day.

All chub caught with static baits apart from 2 on rolled meat. All barbel caught on the float. 3 barbel lost through hook pulls. 1 eel caught on meat. Lots of barbel rolling and topping in the swim. Cleaning off after spawning? Great days fishing on a well managed stretch of the river Wye.
