Feedback & Reports

Cold and damp relative to recent weather. North wind and little obvious surface action except for a short period in the early afternoon. Small black flies worked best. Good place to be even in bad weather.--Track much improved.

Our first time at Wyebank. River was a bit lowish, looks like a good fly water. Notable difference with Middle Wye as this has bed rock which can trap bait feeders. Met the fishery owner who gave some useful guidance, many thanks. Tried Halibut pellets but not a touch, changed to luncheon meat and we were in. We only had a small tin so went to the local shop who helped out.
Barbel were very strong for their size, two chub were over 5lb. The take was very tentative, wait for the rod to bend and you had lost it. Hold the line and strike on a tremor and your were in. Lovely day, thanks to Fishery owner and W & U. Roger & Callum from Tring & Ludlow.

2 Barbel, 12 Chub

Both chub caught on a dry fly and released. Estimated weights of 4 pound, and 3/4 pound.
White house glamping was perfect accommodation.

Despite heavy rain during the previous night and the day of fishing, the river remained low and fishable. There are some great pools on this beat but it cannot be accessed fully from one parking position, unless you are willing to walk a long way on a slippery boulder & large stone bed. At higher water, you would definitely have to come from the bank and access from different locations. We fished the bridge and the pools above, on the bend. There were a variety of different size and colour olives around but the fish took small dark emergers and dry flies. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the fish did continue to rise for several hours. We stayed at the Highside campsite, which is only a few miles from the beat and close to Middleton in Teesdale. Small friendly site, excellent facilities. We will be back to the campsite & the beat.

Beautiful stretch. Access along top of river great for driving long. Some very steep pegs along top section. Water level very low at moment. Saw several barbel in deeper sections bu couldn’t catch. Caught some lovely chub up to 5lb 6oz…and 2 large eels. Will return when levels are up

Chubmania!!
A dozen fish from the fast water on a heavy Avon style float then moved near the steps and cast a 8gr pellet waggler over the far side for a fish every chuck for the last couple of hours.
Great to be back on the wye.
Thanks wuf.

River was low, could do with some rain. Barbel didn't show but Chub fed all day and kept us entertained, most fish in the
2.5 to 3lb. bracket, several 4s and one 5lb. fish. Fish taken on meat, pellet and the majority on trotted flake .

75 Chub

Only one angler fished another beautiful beat on the Wye and Usk passport although rather exspensive Ended up fishing lower end below suspension bridge caught nothing on feeder so switch to the float with immediate impact caught steadily dropping down stream to pick bigger fish Ended up free lining meat catching 18 chub to around 4lb
