Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find the river roaring through and the colour of strong tea.We realised it was going to be tough to catch.Was using 4 and 5 ounce leads and could not always hold bottom.After trying different methods through the day we did manage to land a 5lb barbel, so all was not lost!
This is a beautiful quiet location-we will be back.

24 Barbel to 8lb plus and approx 10 Chub to 5lb plus. River up and very coloured following recent rainfall. A tackle eating area when you can't see the bottom!

Really great place to fish but the weather was against us - driving rain and wind. Started at the top end (could have done with a slight addition to the notes to indicate that this was where the hot spot for trout was - we had to take a chance that the ranunculus beds were at that end). Worked the shore as hard as we could but after a hard wet day only managed one 8 oz brown - hard won, but half a brace is better than none, particularly considering the conditions.

River was about 4 feet up over summer level and heavily coloured. We fished off the bottom end of the island and had a fantastic days fishing. The fish fed all day and we ended with a total of 31 Barbel and 10 chub, best fish was 7 1/2 pounds.
Thank you to the Wye and Usk foundation and to Colin for strimming the swim.

Arrived at the river which seemed a nice height but was the colour of drinking chocolate! Washed off and will return another time.

Caught 4 barbel, all on pellet.
Foundation's service was very helpful and efficient.
Thank you.

Salmon seen but unfortunately none caught.

9 barbel between us, biggest 8lb. River up and pushing. All caught on spicy pellets upstream of the hut. Don't leave the track in the wet weather as you can get the car stuck!!

12lbs silver cock fish from Llyn Em Pool on 3/4" tube best described as a Stoats Tail with attitude. (One of KT's specials). Very little black hair with added flash - when you think you have enough sparkle, double the quantity and double it again ! Brief contact with another fish in Middle Caban.
