Feedback & Reports

I suffered my first ever blank day on the Wye. Conditions looked spot on but for me the fish did not want to play. Yesterday at Middle Hill Court I had numerous knocks pulls and twitches, but today, nothing at all in any of the three swims I tried. Much the same for my mate . He tried 3 swims as well, catching in the last swim he tried. A chublet and a barbel of around 9lb late afternoon. Pellets were the going bait today.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Fished 11.00 until 3.00. All but one of the fish came at the end of the session. A few other half hearted trouty pulls, but it was eerily quiet for most of the day. No sign of grayling in any numbers.

Good days fishing had 8 chub through out the day the biggest being 5.5lb. No barbel to top the day off but think the river could do with a bit of colour to switch them on.

Lovely days fishing. Mild and overcast. Started off on the concrete slope halfway along the beat. Had to make two journeys so baited up with a handful of pellets and went off for teamaking stuff. Had the first chub before I could even get the kettle on. Moved down a bit later as it had gone dead, next swim down was better, quite a few bites with 2 more chub caught and 3 lost. My mate caught nothing upstream of the concrete ramp so he moved further upstream where he caught a grayling and 2 chub also losing a chub. I used peppermint all day and my mate tried maggots changing to pellets later in the afternoon.
