Feedback & Reports

We arrived at the lower end of the fishery parked in the lay-by and walked across the field to the river which was up and coloured. David caught two 7lb Barbel on hair rigged sweet corn and I caught two 11b Barbel on maggot feeder, also a Roach and a Gudgeon. Thanks Wye and Usk.

Arrived to a overcast mild day with the river carrying a little colour and looking in perfect condition. We started on the middle to upper stretch alternating between feeder fished maggots, caster and hemp and trotting on the pin, many small chub and dace present. A switch to pellet feeder at midday bought the barbel on the feed with several fish to 9lb falling to our rods, all were in fin perfect condition and looked like they had never been caught before, a solitary chub at 51b 2oz was a welcome addition.
A switch to big rubber lures during the last hour of light provided two perch at around the 2lb mark.
Yet another really enjoyable days fishing on the brilliant river Wye.

Started off in the top field and followed instructions on parking. However after starting fishing I heard some crunching noises behind as the cows and bull were headbutting my car with Significant damage caused to several panels. Shocking. Please other anglers beware here.
Moved downstream for a few hours and caught a couple of chub and a barbel.
I can't say I will be returning after having my bmw trashed.
WUF note: We were very sorry to hear about this incident. Cattle are, unfortunately, a potential hazard to both anglers and their vehicles. Our "What to Do" guide we send out with every booking advises anglers never to leave vehicles in fields in which cattle are present, even if that is where we have suggested you park. Cattle are always moved into a field without us being informed so please check carefully before parking to ensure that none are present.

Bright clear day. Water levels quite low and very clear. Dave's first Wye barbel at 6lb 14oz. Plenty of wildlife, a mink, swans, kingfishers, bats and a rare albino pheasant.
Very enjoyable afternoon. All fish caught on pellet.

River low and very clear fished most of the stretch and found the odd fish the best barbel went 7lb along with a 5lb fish,the best a chub around 4lb. This was the slowest day out of five booked so far, we have had a very good run this season. Another pleasant day on the bank.
Thank you

Very hot conditions as we arrived, also the otter was just finishing off what looked like a barbel not a good omen. River was very clear by noon and the fact that there was numerous anglers on the other bank spoilt the peace and quiet. Never found the barbel but at least a few chub played ball. Saw a mink chasing a duck on the bank, a great venue but will book double banks from now on. The group on the other side had a couple of barbel but made a lot of noise. A couple of cormorants about as well but all in all a good 2 days. On a weird note, a near naked man in a dinghy full of beer came down stream looking for the main road to Hereford!? Thanks WUF
