River brownish algal tinge and fish just weren’t on it. Absolute bedlam down there surrounded on both sides by swimming parties, screaming kids and regular barking dogs fetching sticks, balls or whatever else could be thrown in. Quite ironic given the no dogs rule which meant my impeccably behaved black lab wasn’t sitting quietly by my side as usual! Real disappointment, very overpriced and one Eel between us to show for the 350 mile round trip - lol!

Beautiful place, canoe traffic atrocious.

2 trout caught on the fly using a nymph, one 18 inch one 20.5inch

Two of us fished using cage feeders with 8mm banded fish meal pellets on the hook, very slow with just one barbel between us.
River slightly above normal also with what looked like some algae bloom

We came in search of the Wye Barbel but the conditions were warm and the river fairly low. Regardless, we had that great faith that all anglers have, which keeps you coming back for more ! Unfortunately we didn't get the catch we wanted, but what a lovely place in the height of summer to spend your time with family and friends. Lots went into the planning; with plenty of laying down bait & tactics/kit in many swims (hemp, garlic hemp, pellet, halibut mix, garlic hemp, spicy krill, paprika luncheon meat and luncheon meat; all in different mixes). Used cage, longer and shorter hook lengths, PVA bags, . The easiest pegs to get too are the ones nearer to the farm but go all the way round past the Weir (roughly about 6-8 good pegs for fishing). It is a great venue, we just weren't good enough on the day! We'll be back !
