Feedback & Reports

Our second day of fishing on the Wye and we had great expectations from this beat from past experience. It was quite a tough day again for one angler but the other one found the fish in coloured, slower water.

Fishing quite slow and worsened as conditions deteriorated and the wind and rain arrived. The highlight was a feisty 5lb barbel caught in the fast water. The "other" was an eel.

Very nice stretch and nicely maintained. 3 fished on the beach at the bottom of the beat, feeder baited with halibut pellets. Also fished a swim mid way and caught 6 of the chub and a small barbel

After a very promising start, (two Barbel hooked, one lost to a hook pull) by 6am it was tough going on static baits but plenty of hefty Chub to roving tactics with the float, mostly to bread.

Late afternoon session proved to be productive. Most chub caught on trotted meat and the barbel later on at dusk on ledgered pellet and hemp. Largest Chub was 5lb and barbel were 2lb, 5.2lb and 7.6lb. Absolutely cracking fish. Once they started to feed it was all out attack. All were strong and healthy looking which was reassuring to see.
