Feedback & Reports

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.

Really attractive and peaceful stretch of this wonderful river. Spent the morning fish spotting & baiting up. Started fishing soon after lunch and had 15 or so chub averaging 3-4lb with a best of 5lb 3oz on trotted sweetcorn feeding corn & pellets from a swim about a third of the way down on the left bank. River had risen about 6 inches overnight and had just a tinge of colour. Then roved around for a few hours and caught chub from most swims wading and trotting corn. Finished off trotting corn and pellets in pre-baited shallow swim on right bank near trees and had 8 barbel approx 3-6lb in less than 2 hours.
A good days fishing in marvelous surroundings and great fun on the float.
Had the beat to myself. It would have been difficult to fish the way I did had there been another angler on the water. Can't wait to return!

Three chub - 1lb, 2.5lb, 4.5lb. One Barbel 5.3lb. Lost one Barbel. Standard halibut pellets. Lovely fishery really easy to find and the pegs are well kept with excellent access.

Fantastic little beat - a dozen chub up to 4lb. The barbel are there if you can get through the chub.

Not fishing today but merely enjoying a fine afternoon along the Wye. Amazed to see huge shoals of Shad making their annual pilgrimage upstream. In thirty minutes many hundreds, if not thousands, passed my viewpoint. Also spotted a very large Pike with her escorts, and to cap it all off a Perch that must have been nudging three pounds. Wow, what a river we have.

2 barbel, 2 chub.

A quiet but enjoyable start to a few days on the Wye. Just two barbel (approx 5lb and 6lb - ish) and several chub to about 4lb.

Drove down from Lincolnshire in the morning, and it rained heavy all afternoon. Foy bridge is a nice little beat for 2 rods for a few hours sport. We caught 3 barbel of 4-5lb and several chub all on halibut pellets.
