Feedback & Reports

Constant rain all day and very heavy at times. Fished the lower section opposite the two houses, baited and fished 5 swims landing 2 barbel to 6lb. Between us we hooked a number of fish that we lost. In the evening we moved to the top end of the beat and between us landed 3 larger fish all on pellets.
The rain made the access track very slippery we stopped short of the river on level ground (with out blocking the track) as the slope back up would have been difficult.

5 Barbel

Day 2. Another early start 7.30. Weather humid but overcast all day, slow start, with a couple of chub, and 1 barbel early on. Fed two swims close to the style on upper beat, and one by pump station, fed all very heavely with Barbel Blitz groundbait and loads of hemp, hair rigged Large Elips pellets, also 12mm glugged Halibut pellets. Fishing really kicked of from around 5ish, virtually a bite a chuck. Fantastic afternoon had upper beat to myself (and the bulls & swans ). All fish in good condition biggest Barbel 7 1/2 lb, biggest chub 4lb 9oz chub well spawned out. Many thanks to Wye & Usk for a fantastic couple of days in beautiful suroundings, "BRILLIANT".

9 Barbel, 14 Chub

Fished lower beat, fish seemed to be very localised. Used blitz boilies with a feeder.

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

Another lovely day on a wonderful stretch, all fish on pellet. Thank you Wye and Usk.

Fished all of the lower part of the beat. One barbel late on opposite the two big houses plus a perch on a spinner in margins. Too bright today but a superb beat much improved since last visit. Day 2 of 3.

Had a great day and a lovely beat, hooked two barbel and lost both!! We are still trying to work out why? Although plenty of activity and we didnt manage to bank a fish but we still very much enjoyed our day on the river. Many thanks WUF for all your work.

Fished a variety of swims during the day for 1 barbel and 1 chub. Moved late afternoon and had a barbel and chub in successive casts as had my fishing partner. Nothing else until suddenly at 8pm it was one a chuck. Had 5 barbel and 3 chub in an hour. Packed up at 9 but they were still feeding. Partner had packed up at 8!! All but 1 barbel caught on sweetcorn. Will return to this stretch another time.

Wasn't able to fish upper /deeper part of beat (nice chap already ensconced). Fished the mid section, not a sausage. Couldnt stay too late which may have been the key to that stretch at that level of flow.

Great river conditions but weed is building up now, caught the same chub twice, it had fresh bite marks on its tail. I suspect it was done by an otter that I saw 3 times. An enjoyable day thanks.
