Feedback & Reports

Lovely beat with plenty of pegs, however there could be lots more cracking pegs dug out without too much effort.
Weather all over the place with sun, rain and wind, usual methods tried. 3 barbel in total, 1 very small at about a 1lb, 1 about 4lb and 1 about 7lb. Nothing else apart from a dozen very small chub and dace on the stick float on sweet corn.
The whole river is fishing bad at the moment and this stretch is no different. We fished from 8am until 6pm all for 3 bites between us!!!
Will return when the river picks up as it's stunning with buzzards, kingfishers to keep you interested while the tip never moves!!

The river was low. It was an overcast and misty morning but we had a sunny afternoon. We fished swimfeeders with elips pellets of various sizes, meat and sweetcorn.
We used various hook lengths and hook sizes. The only fish came in first half hour after that no one had a bite all day. Fished from 7.30am to 5.30pm how bad is that only catching one fish! It was a nice place.
The barbel caught was 6lb 12oz.

With the water level extremely low and the sun shining brightly it was always going to be a tough day, and so it proved. The few bites that came were short and sharp, it was clear that the fish were being very shy. Two Chub came on float fished corn but the Barbel were nowhere to be seen. Never the less a lovely day on a beautiful venue, thanks once again WUF.

Water very low. Beautiful venue, one of my favourites. Fished hard all day, biggest chub 3lb. Difficult conditions - extremely warm day with bright sunshine. Will be back!

Second day, started at first light and concentrated on the bottom end of the stretch for the day. No action throughout the day, had hopes of a couple of barbel in the last couple of hours (like the previous day) but not to be. Didn't catch a thing. Low river and sunbathing weather didn't help.

Conditions bright sunny river very low and crystal clear.Spent the morning on the feeder without a single bite. Broke out the trotting gear around mid day had a couple of Chub and about 30 Dace (lost count really). Swithed back to the feeder for the last couple of hours and caught a small Barbel right at the end of the session.

First day of a 3 day trip to the Wye (2 days at How caple). First time on this venue, started at midday following the drive from Essex. Caught 2 barbel in the last 2 hours 6lb and 7lb 8ozs. Both fish caught on feeder set up with pellets.

River level was pretty low, and combined with warm sunshine most of the day, made the hopes of a barbel or two very slim. With the water levels being low we chose to fish the deeper and faster flowing areas in order to try and locate the fish. This only resulted in 2 chub, with no barbel seen.

A very quiet day, slightly spoilt by the hot weather and even though it was mid week a lot of canoeists, most of whom were very polite.
Will be back next year.

Still low water conditions but caught late afternoon.
