Feedback & Reports

River fining down but still heavily colured. 10 barbel to around 9lbs and 1 chub to meat baits from lower pegs.
Excellent fishery but WUF directions would be improved if they stated 'Take second left turn to Breinton' rather than the current instructions which say ignore the fist left turn to Breinton and bear left at Swainshill.

Not much to report today unfortunately. Nil caught, not a bite even. River was well up and like chocolate with logs etc coming down though. First time on this stretch and I must say it really looks good.

Total catch was 14 Barbel and 4 Chub all caught on pellets from a coloured falling river.
This was our first visit to the Wye and we were very impressed - the fishing was great and the countryside beautiful.

4 Barbel and 6 Chub all caught on pellets.

Caught 4 barbel.
Access to swims was quite difficult in many places.

River at normal summer levels with a tinge of colour. Despite fishing early afternoon to dusk, fishing was extremely hard work with very few bites or other signs of fish. We managed 4 barbel & 3 chub between us despite varying tactics and swims, very frustrating.

Fished 4 hours 11am - 3pm. 3 chub to 4lbs 10oz and 2 barbel to 7lbs 12oz, all on pellet.

Rainy day, ended up with 7 barbel to 8lb on pellet from the lower end of the fishery.

Both rods fished below the orchard and caught 5 barbel between 5 and 8 pounds, 3 chub, two of 4 pounds and one of 3 pounds, and one trout of approx 1 pound. The barbel, one chub & trout were caught on luncheon meat, and the other two chub on sweetcorn. All fish were in very good condition as was the river.

A much harder day than I have been used to on the Wye. Two anglers managed one barbel each plus chub and one managed five barbel. All of the fish were between 5 and 7 lb and were caught on pellet.
