Feedback & Reports

Fished from 5.30pm. All fish caught on 10mm pellets with freebies catapulted in periodically. First barbel of the session lost and then action steadily through the evening. Best fish included ones of 9.2, 9.3, 9.9, 10.2.
One of our favourite beats. Nice to meet Rudy.

Bright with a cold wind. The water was gin clear, so long leaders were the order of the day. Had one nice fish early on swinging a small black spider. Picked up a couple of smaller fish through the day on small tungsten nymphs
As the light started to soften there as a small flurry of hatching insects that got the trout moving that produced 3 fish in about 20 minutes to a size 16 CDC & Elk.

Rather warm sunny day, used the swims approx 100 yards past the woodland walk. Gorgeous accessible swim, wonderful wildlife on display. Challenging swim, lively flow and much weed on bottom. Needed to be able to cast past halfway across river, not clear enough to target areas of clear gravel,therefore an element of luck in avoiding the weed. Used standard feeder tactics as trotting would not have been possible in this swim, used boilie hook baits. Challenging to discern the bites sometimes (as opposed to weed effects on the line)and lost some good fish in the weedy conditions but were able to land 6 barbel (to 9lbs). The most experienced and expert barbel angler in our party was able to cope with the conditions better than the rest of us and out-fished us. Thank you for a glorious day.

Great little beat. All caught on nymph. River crystal clear and fish in good condition. First Usk trout. Will be back.

a day in the Herefordshire countryside is special even if the fishing was a struggle

Found the river a foot up and with a tinge of colour. Expected the bright conditions to make the fishing a bit trickier than normal. Excellent days sport, stunning surrounding. Couldn't really ask for more. Thank you WUF

Thankfully we opted for a lift from the farmer (Mr Richards), that is money well spent as the walk would be a nightmare!!!!! we started off at the top end of the beat, my mate had one small barbel around the 4lb mark. I struggled for bites so moved had 1 chub around 2lb my mate had another barbel 6lb , I moved again downstream near the drop off point which really was the last fishable swim as most of the lower section is so overgrown with no swims cut out or any evidence of where they once were.. in the end I ended up with 4 chub the biggest going 5lb 6oz (p.b) my mate ended up with 6 barbel the biggest going 9lb 3oz (p.b) ...A truly beautiful place to fish with plenty of swims with easy access on the top half of the beat, the lower half unless you take a strimmer forget it!!!!!! .. Lovely days fishing with pb's for both of us , cant wait till next time!!!!
