Feedback & Reports

A very bright day with water conditions low, so we knew it was going to be difficult to catch barbel. We managed 12 chub between us to 4lbs on mainly pellet tipped with sweetcorn and fed pellet. It was not until the evening that the barbel responded to the pellet and managed to bank barbel up to 7lbs.

We had a great day and look forward into fishing Middle Hill Court on September 1st, a big thank you to Wye & Usk Foundation.

Me and my mate fished the beat for 4 days taking 20 barbel up to 8lb and 16 chub up to 5lb. We fished method feeders with 17mm halibut pellets. A little slow during the day when it was very hot. All in all a very enjoyable 4 days fishing.

Fishing in the wooded section and starting fishing at first
light I can only describe this as a real red letter day on this fantastic stretch of Wye using a pellet feeder with elipse pellet and paste on the hook. Within the first hour 2 barbel and 2 chub came to the net finishing the day 15.30 with a total 10 barbel with wieghts between 7 and 8 pounds and 15 chub between 3lb with the largest going 5lb 1oz.
After 37 years of barbel fishing this ranks up there with the best and one other great part of the day was meeting Don a real good guy.
who realy cares about the fish and this river.
