Feedback & Reports

After a cold start to the day and a chilly north easterly we were thinking "Chub day". However they failed to oblige! The Wye "Double" remains elusive but three fine Barbel
of 8lb. 12oz., 9lb. 2oz. and 9lb. 12oz. fell to meat from the lower end of the woods. Just as the swim was coming to life the last hour or so was somewhat spoiled as an Otter
surfaced practically in the middle of the swim, that's life!! A tough day with only a half dozen bites all day but still a joy to be on the river.

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Nice sunny day but breezy at times making casting difficult. River gin clear but quite low. DC caught 2 small grayling and a small os wbt GC caught 5 small grayling and a nice 10" os wbt.
Still not very easy to access above the upstream weir which is a shame as there is a lot of water that cannot be fished.
Thanks to all at W & U for providing great places to fish.

Conditions not ideal with low clear water and bright sunshine throughout the day making fishing difficult. Spells of feeding in early afternoon and then towards dusk saw 3 barbel the best being about 8lb and a number of smallish chub. This is lovely beat with good access and plenty of areas to go at and will definately return.

Worm and spinner.

First time on this lovely looking beat. Great access throughout which is great as I'm recovering from a hip injury. Fished a number swims more to keep warm as it was bloody cold. All fish fell to pellet feeder tactics. The 2 barbel fell right at very last light with the chub coming at intervals throughout the day.

Fished the lower section - needed more water to succeed. Not a bite all day.

Fab day. A great lesson with Jonathan Morris, sorted out my salmon and switch casting mistakes. What a pleasant instructor with great knowledge of salmon fishing, gave me some very useful tips. After all that no fish seen or caught. On the 15th on the town water several moved in the fly fun, great to see.

No fish today river still very low I only fished for about 2 hours in the afternoon.

River low and clear with bright weather. No fish caught despite changing methods and baits.

Fished for 3 days x 4 rods river low but wonderful thanks to don for advice and help. Only managed 2 barbel, 7lb 6oz and 9lb 2oz. Back next year: awesome place!
