Feedback & Reports

A warm bright day. The river was quite clear. I started at the top of the beat in the deeper water and had a chub of 1 1/2lbs quite quickly, then nothing so early afternoon I moved right to the lower end of the beat where the shallow fast water deepens and there had another chub of 2lbs and my first ever barbel at 5lbs. All were taken on boilies. Lovely beat and shall return.

7 barbel, best 8.5lbs

Although told to expect other anglers it was disappointing to find 3 other anglers on our booked beat, they were also pretty upset to see us thinking they had booked the beat exclusively through the farmer. Another disapponiting day with only 1 good chubb caught.

Bit of a tough day. We both had a couple of barbel but the downstream wind of 25 mph didnt help much. I find this beat very peggy and one where if you get fish you need to invest time and effort to maximise results. Sadly we didn't really fish it that well and the results showed. As always its great to be on the Wye. Thanks to WUF.

First time to white house,river like tap water and bright sun. Had a chat to local lad on concrete walkway he said conditions were not ideal. Had a walk down stream but so clear and no deap holes to speak off to have a go at. The local lad left mid afternoon and said fish would show later,so i went on the walk way and had 1 chub 3lb and 2 barbel 6lb my mate went on the concrete wall past the hut and had 1 barble 6lb,never went up stream but as most places you need to get to know the venue. Elipse pellet super glued to the hair seems to be as good a bait as any for the barbel on the Wye.

1 nice Chub and a small Barbel. 3 anglers got permission from the farmer to fish the afternoon (after a dreadfull tackle-losing morning on WUF Kerne Bridge) though I was the only WUF booking here, and successfully landed a 9lbs 5oz and a 7lbs barbel and a few others from the fast water swims off the concrete walkway. Caught on spam and light tackle and no Wye experience before. Well done them as it was 2ft up and really pushing. I plonked in after they'd gone early and remained biteless into dark. A 5oz pellet feeder needed with constant bits of weed a real pain in the flow and elsewhere. I suspect an effort to get up off my elsewhere and walk the top deeper slower beat (though now with more pace) would have been productive! The Wye got the better of my laziness.

Started fishing at 9:30am, two of us fishing, caught my 1st barbel within 30sec (7lb,8oz) followed one hour later by two more 5lb 7oz and 5lb 4oz, then moved to upper stretch. Caught four more between us all between 5lbs and 7lbs 8oz and missed one. Good location/access and swims to fish.

I blanked on the day was getting bites but kept missing them. I was in a slower swim upstream, a very warm day.

Bad day at the office, nil Caught

Excellent day on this long stretch of the river not far outside Ross.
Started at the lower end in the faster water on the stickfloat taking a net load of chub from 8oz to 5lb with the odd dace thrown in.
Switched to groundbait feeder tactics for barbel late afternoon, still in the faster water and got an instance response on corn. 6 barbel to 8lb in 2hrs then let my mate fish the swim who had another 3 and a big eel.
Great beat when the water level is right.
