Feedback & Reports

Went over hill to downstream below wood. River lower and slower pace from last month when we were there. Banks not so muddy or slippery. Could of done with a bit more water on the river. Fish caught on vortex cko and krill boilies. Taking the footpath from the corner of playing fields up over hill the better option this time. Tough day. But river came alive at dusk.

IT was good to return to this part of wye again it was lovely autumn day. we did see some varied
Wildlife but we where surprise to see cormorants doing a fly pass in great numbers up to 20 which definitely not a good thing to see. Back to the fishing we all used a few different baits but in the end
IT was one make of pellet that we had are fish on resulting in as follows SG 6 CHUB MH 2 BARBEL
And 3 CHUB SM 9 CHUB. WILL RETURN

Fished in the field below “Heart attack” hill and very quickly lost a very good barbel that went on several long runs before unusually kiting into near bank trees and splashing around before snapping hook length off in the over hanging branches. Gutted!
Ended up moving couple of times with no joy then going back to original swim for the afternoon. A couple of barbel just under 6lb and 2 chub around 2.5-3lb slightly made up for the earlier lost barbel that felt much much bigger.
All fish caught on either dumbbells or 8mm pellets with ground bait feeder.
Watched kingfisher fishing and loads of long tailed tits before a late sparrowhawk swooped into the trees right next to me. Walked back over the hill in the dark to the sound of tawny owls all around.

Most enjoyable day at a lovely venue with my mate , only had three Chub and a small Barbel between us but that’s fishing. This was our first time on the Wye more used to fishing the upper Bristol Avon , will definitely give it another go while we both can.
