Feedback & Reports

I only fished the morning and even then I had a break to join the other half for breakfast. Started at the top end of left bank but no bites, moved down to lower end and had a barbel of 6ish first cast. Returned after breakfast and had 3 chub in quick succession, all quiet then until I was thinking of leaving, then had one more barbel a little smaller than the first. A lovely short stretch for the time I had available, all fish caught on pellet.
Thanks again WUF!

Early afternoon to evening session, fished left bank which is having a lot of work on it opening up more swims. Caught 5 Chub to 4lb 8ozs and a barbel of about the same weight. All on pellets.

Fished 3rd and 4th September two rods, first day caught 8 Chub to 4lb 13oz most 2-3lb, 1 small Barbel approx 1lb 8oz, 2 Gudgeon.
2nd day 7 Chub 2-3lb.
Fished bread and luncheon meat over hemp and crumb, water was clear and low which allowed access to bottom of bank in a few swims, waders would be needed to fish all swims and if water is higher.
Nice stretch of river very enjoyable.

Only 3 fish from 2 rods, a nice small chub & 2 juvenile chub. The conditions seemed perfect and we caught the first fish within an hour using a feeder & sweetcorn on the hook. It is an attractive piece of river & I'm sure has good fish in it. Wished we brought waders as the majority of the swim is inaccessible. Weeds are also a problem so take ledgers & feeders that are less likely to snag. We will be back, but with different tackle.

Fished 3.00pm - 9.00pm, caught 5 Chub and 2 Barbel (5lb 1oz and a baby of about 2lb), both trotting and static ledgering. Water low and clear; I was glad I brought the waders as this opened up a lot more of the water to me. Attractive beat, not many canoes but lots of swans.

Web booking faultless - directions and beat description good. First time on the Wye, Foy is a nice short stretch with about six swims more available to wading. Caught 2 barbel and 5 chub lost about 8 fish to weed and hook pulls. DOH! Fishing tailed off in afternoon and evening as the sunny conditions made conditions difficult in shallow water. Bait used was pellet, sweetcorn, and meat. Overall good fishing nice scenery and would go back hopefully with more water on. Thaks WUF

No Catch. The first time I've fished on the Wye and the first time I've fished for Salmon. The river was high and fast. I struggled to cast from the banks and the casts were swept away with little time to sink.

The owner was discussing improvements to the banks with a colleague and he helpfully advised me on the salmon runs but even that could not help me today. I should probably give it another go when there has been less rain.

WUF Note: To maximise chances, we recommend that those inexperienced in Wye salmon fishing contact us for advice on water conditions and suitable beats before making a booking.

Thought we would have a go on the middle Wye. Arrived in heavy rain, so chose the easy walk to the right bank. Fished the large swim in the middle of the length, but after a couple of hours, we did not have any bites between us, so decided to fish the left hand bank. I eventually settled in the last swim, below the rapids. Fished halibut pellets on standard barbel rig, and although I had to share the swim with 23 juvenile swans!,had lots of bites from the off in the shallow water but only managed to hit 6 of them, 6 chub to 4 1/2lbs, and lost a fish that pulled the rod off the rest, and snapped the line. Tony fished the deepish swim below the bridge, and only had a dozen bites on luncheon meat but managed 7 chub and 2 barbel to 6lbs. Was nice and sunny in the evening.

5 chub to 4lb and one barbel 6lb. Sure the site was much shorter than the 600yds stated and I struggled to climb the banks in the few swims available (very slippery after rain). But eventually sorted myself out and found a few fish.
WUF note: Both the website and the beat document state the beat is 220 yards of double bank fishing. Improvements to bank access will be made over the next couple of months.

Just a couple of hours spent here. 1 good barbel each, around the 7lb mark. Found this beat OK for an evening and would be better with around 2ft extra water maybe.
