Feedback & Reports

12 barbel and a few chub caught. A fairly tough day for this venue with most of the fish coming towards the end of the day.

12 Barbel, 5 Chub

Very nice venue. River low and clear, only 2 barbel all day but another 5 after 7pm when they seemed to switch on. Will be back.

Lovely looking stretch with faster shallow water and deeper slower glides. Fished pellet feeder and waggler but struggled to catch during the day with only 1 chub and 1 barbel between us. Had 5 barbel in the evening once the sun was off the water.

The river was rising when we arrived and the fishing was very tough. We fished the lower section of the beat in the obvious swims. The weather didn't do us any favours with bright sunny periods and thundery heavy showers. A nice section of the Wye with easy access so would like to visit again.

Most fish caught on feeder fished pellet from the first swim in the second field up. Moved up to the swim where a tree has fallen in & rolled a boilie down the edge of tree to tempt another 3 barbel during the afternoon. River was low & clear with sunshine all day. I was kept entertained watching chub & trout in the shallow water. Stayed at peaceful cottage near Madley for a family holiday which is very close to the beats above Hereford.

Lovely stretch of water but limited number of swims if you don't want to negotiate a steep bank but that's wild fishing. Only 4 barbel between us but to fair we didn't fish early or late - blame the World Cup for that!

Started fishing at 9.30am, river in fine fettle with just a tinge of colour. Very hot(had to break for a couple of hours mid-afternoon) and no wind. Caught fish all day, barbel were all a nice size, two of the chub were big fish.
Great day on a great river, many thanks to Wye & Usk Foundation.
