Feedback & Reports

Came here last minute as our booked beat was not fish-able due to flood. River high and boiling when we arrived, fining down through the day. Tried trotting but difficult in fast water with much debris. Caught several small chub down the edge in slack water using maggot under heavy chubber float. My fellow angler stuck it out all day on ledgered pellet and was rewarded by barbel late afternoon @6-7lb each.

Lovely beat, good access, pump on briefly but didn't cause us any issues. Rang office about closed road to farm and the matter was dealt with quickly and professionally. Watched the buzzards and saw plenty of salmon jumping which was a pleasure. River very low and clear despite 3 nights of rain. All fish taken at dusk on pellet/boilies. Far bank was fairly busy with anglers. We will return.

River conditions as sunday, but a bit more cloud. 1 angler fished trotted maggot all day from the concrete path to the right of the pump. Hooked 4 small barbel and landed 2 plus many small dace. Another fished concrete pier (croy?) to the left of the pump with pellet feeder for 1 chub, 4lb.
The 2 others fished the shingle beach further downstream on pellet/meat feeder for 4 barbel up to 3lb 8oz. Canoeists, courteous in the main!!! A very enjoyable day.

River low and clear. Weather bright and sunny. Method used stick float and maggot. Other fish caught were dace. 4 barbel hooked and lost sadly.

Water very low and clear, upstream from the entry point mostly unfishable as the accessible bank was at least 10ft above the water level. Fished the stone beach, nothing to feeder tactics but trotting maggot produced many small dace and chub plus one small barbel about 2lb. This fishery would obviously be much better with higher water levels.

Brilliant day! All fish caught trotting except a 2lb eel caught on meat. Barbel from 2lb to 7lb others consisted of small dace and chub. River low with a tinge of colour. A pleasure to fish here. Stayed at the Pilgrim Hotel, can highly recommend. Well done Wye and Usk.

Fishing poor, barbel nowhere to be seen, river very low with lots of weed coming through.

1 Chub

One barbel about 6lb caught at 7.00 as the light was fading.
