Feedback & Reports

Lovely warm Autumn day. River very low despite recent rain. Fished the top end of the fishery. Not a touch until around 5pm, then 2 barbel approx 9.5lb and 8lb, both in excellent condition. Thanks again WUF and guide Adam Fisher.
There is a makeshift gate just before the top car parking area. I assume we can drive through this gate to the parking area?

WUF note - Yes, you can drive through this wooden gate to the parking area.

2 Barbel

Our activity was restricted to the lower section of the beat, more specifically to the pool lying below the fence separating the second and third fields below the access point.
Despite some colour, both anglers were blessed with an end of season fish. Both cock fish dressed in tartan, the first at around 6lbs and the second around 12lbs. A wonderful end to the season.
Wye! Oh, Wye!

2 Salmon

No salmon but very nice brownie about a pound from Maddox in the late afternoon. Very pleasant day on a lovely piece of fly water. Much work has been done on the access to the upper parts of the beat. Thank you. Just a shame the parking is now so far from the game fishing beat - Don't forget anything!

1 Trout

Arrived at 7.45am with 0.76m on the gauge and falling slowly. A little too much colour at first but by end of day had dropped 5cm and colour perfect.
Had a head and tail take to my Golden Killer (single hook) fly after 15 minutes and a 9lb colouring cock fish was duly landed and safely returned.
Fished hard for another 9hrs but didn't see a fish. The curtain came down on a memorable season fishing Rock pool in the company of L.T. from Creigiau with perfect water, a rainbow to our left and a beautiful sunset to our right.
Thankyou to the WUF and owner Barry for making all this possible. Here's to next season!

1 Salmon

Second of a two day trip. River still low and a bit sluggish. Loads of debris in the River due to the high winds no doubt. Tried a static approach and caught a nice chub early on, unfortunately it went quiet after that. Thought it would pick up late afternoon and into the evening but nothing happened, perhaps I should have moved around but tried that the day before to no avail so sat it out and left with just the one fish.

1 Chub

Caught a hen salmon from the Usk on the last day of the season. Fish was just over 10lb's and fell to a Silver Shrimp fly. Returned.

Weather nice for time of year, but not ideal for fishing; banks very slippery from rain earlier in week. Nice dace trotting from the Meadow; later move to Legg Meadow Crib produced a small barbel and some nice chub to same tactic on far bank run. Will come again.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub, 1 Other

River had risen slightly following the heavy rain of the past few days. Fished the middle of the lower section - amongst the cows - but the increased flow brought down a lot of weed and falling leaves were beginning to make life difficult. Moved to a swim out of the main flow avoiding most of the debris and managed 1 trout, 4 chub up to five pounds and 2 barbel, the largest just over 8lbs. Fed hemp and 4mm pellet and caught on hair rigged 10mm pellet.

Weather conditions mild and perfect, rained hard the day before, everything ready for a bumper fishing session! Didn't catch a thing, didn't even get a bite. Tried everything, pellet, meat etc, moved swims and I've fished it before with great success. Nothing, but that's fishing. Will be back to try again.

A few fish showing regularly on the beat but no takers. Great show, time well spent despite, only having pulls only from oos trout.
