Feedback & Reports

Another lovely day for fishing the Wye although this time with a chilly wind blowing up the river. All fish came to feeder tactics for both of us anglers and one of us had a tremendous day with 7 barbel, all between 6 and 8lbs. The beat was busy though with 4 other anglers which made finding a swim a challenge.

Fishing Passport Note : Wyastone Leys is a 4 rod beat as advertised. 2 other anglers were booked in. 2 more would presumably be poachers. If you suspect anyone is fishing witthout permission, please contact the Fishing Passport booking office.

9 Barbel, 4 Chub

Had the beat to myself today,no anglers on opposite bank,strange?were they all football fanatics or did they know something I didn’t? Had a nice chat with Andy the keeper, started fishing at 11.30 by 1pm nothing to show for my efforts, not even a bite! Time for a change of plan. A move quickly resulted in 2 barbel and chub, then went quiet again, by constantly moving between 4 swims managed to have a good day in the end. Barbel 3.5 to10lbs3oz including an 8 & a 9 at last some bigger fish. Chub 2 to 4lbs
