Feedback & Reports

1st July
Lovely stretch but we were disappointed. The upstream section has the best water on the far bank with pools and croys but no swims cleared on the side that WUF have so you can't cast across! Dowstream section again has good water on the far side but it was rammed with anglers maybe 7 or 8 guys over a 200 yard stretch.
Only decent spot was the one croy on WUF side where dense vegitation prevented anyone fishing opposite. Caught 2 barbel both on corn using timebomb filled with corn and 4mm pellets. Good access.

2 Barbel

Fantastic days fishing for the three of us never fished Wye before - beyond our expectations. All fish caught on double hair rigged pellet and cage feeder. All fish caught downstream of pump which ran most of the day. Thanks Wye and Usk.

10 Barbel, 10 Chub

I'm afraid no fish caught. I think water pump on all day did not help, need to invest in hearing aid now! Lovely stretch but not even a bite, still, weather was great thanks.

Chub 3-4lbs, barbel to 7.5lbs. My favourite stretch of the Wye!

2 Barbel, 19 Chub

Great day float fishing pellet. 5 barbel to 7lb 6oz and a couple of chub to 3lb. One bonus wild brownie. Water slightly clearer than down stream seemed to help.

This was my first visit to the Wye and it won't be my last. The White House stretch is in a beautiful setting and provides a variety of swim types - from shallow glides to deeper runs and holes. Although we enjoyed moderate success, it was a blazing hot day with full sun most of the time. The fish seemed to feed better at both ends of the day and when the sun was less bright. We stayed at the White Lion in Ross which was ideal - very friendly and comfortable and run and frequented by anglers. Booking the tickets from the Wye & Usk Foundation was very straightforward and the staff were extremely helpful.

Nice stretch of river. 5 chub and 1 barbel approximately 7lb.
Be wary of nasty snags in the lower section. Although I took three good size chub from here it cost me in tackle. Definitely returning to this beat.

First 500 mile return trip of the season to the Wye and as usual worth it
7am start and 3 Barbel in the first three casts, followed 3 chub. Went quiet until 10:45am when the biggest Barbel of the day was banked (8lbs 11oz) quickly followed by another smaller one and another chub. Then the sun broke through and it quickly became hot and all bites stopped. Not another touch until 8pm when three more Barbel were caught along with another Chub.
All fish taken on pellet and feeder, mainly halibut pellets. All fish in excellent condition. Fish seemed to be in the deeper water farthest away from the car park (Anglers on the far bank also caught).
Fish ranged from 6lbs 3oz to 8lbs 11oz
Back Soon!!!

8 Barbel, 5 Chub

3 barbel, 6lb 13oz, 6lb 5oz and one about 4lb, plus 1 chub about 4lb. All caught in the late afternoon/early evening from the woods section on sausage pellet.
Well worth the 170 mile round trip, will be back.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Water pump was very noisy and irritating, on for seven hours a day. Only time for fishing was early morning, or evening.
