Feedback & Reports

9 Chub 1 WBT all on bread. River level was as low as it has been all season and the fish were hard to find. We fished every swim from the bottom field to the top wood and found fish in 5 of them. 1 dead Pike and 1 dead Barbel around 8lb on bankside. Lots of signs of Otters on the banks.

1 Trout, 9 Chub

River in flood and unfishable.

4 Chub on bread.

17 Chub on bread and Cheese paste. River level low and clear. Fished several swims but couldn't find fish in the usual winter spots. Caught fish from fast shallow water.

First ever trip on the Wye targeting pike but my mate went for chub/dace etc. He blanked and I managed a jack. River was flowing faster than I'd of liked but enjoyed it. Many thanks.

River about as good as you would expect in winter. 2 rods after Pike using deads and lures. Not a touch all day.
One rod per person severely hampers the ability to explore a stretch of this length and becomes overly expensive for one rod over time. I appreciate the desire not to over pressurise pike but with four anglers only on the entire beat at any one time (and from catch reports the overwhelming majority of those in search of Barbel and Chub) that is hardly likely to happen. Won't be back here for Pike and it might be an idea for Wye/Usk to review their policy.

River still high but falling. Coloured but clearing. Probably caught river a day too soon but had no other dates available to us so gave it our best shot.
Pike fishing lower stretch, no shortage of swims despite high water. Adopted a roving approach using deads. Disappointed to land just one pike, a low double, but then conditions were hardly ideal. Glad to be on the banks after weeks of interminable rain and stretch looks nice. Will have to come back when levels are lower to assess its full potential.

Caught the river a day or so too early. Although falling was still running high with a lot of colour. One low double Pike on deadbait between us. Difficult to assess beat as we were undoubtedly fishing swims that will not be there when normal levels are resumed but nice looking stretch and our impression is that the beat may well be better suited to barbel/chub anglers. Will be back in better conditions to try our luck again.

Nil catch today. Had to admit defeat at lunch time when the river came over the bank and we were stranded in the top field. Had a long walk around flood water and back down the road to the bottom car park.

Well what a cracking stretch of river the fishing started off slow not a touch on halibut pellet but all changed when luncheon meat was on. The best chub of 6lb was my new pb and made my day. We will be definitely going back there cheers
