Feedback & Reports

My first visit to any WUF water and a very successful one. Directions to the fishery were great and luckily I seemed to be the only angler present that day. Arriving at 1pm and having read the catch reports here, I'd already made my mind up to fish the Powerlines swim. To begin with I fished a groundbait feeder with hair-rigged corn in to the middle of the river (as I'd taken note of the "tackle graveyard" comments previously posted). I was biteless for an hour or so and around this point I made a bit of a hash of a cast, which ended up only going about a third of the way out. A lucky mistake on my part because five minutes later I was attached to the first barbel of the day, which I landed at 6.12lbs. Nine further barbel followed (all from the same spot) and three were lost. Sweetcorn and two different sizes of hair-rigged soft pellets all caught fish. In fact, I would reccomend switching hookbaits regualrly as this often seemed to bring a bite. Didn't try meat as I never seemed to have enough time to get the tin open! However, I didn't really have any issues with tackle loss? Anyway, a real red-letter day - my heartfelt thanks to all at WUF for making this possible, the entire process (booking, directions etc) was excellent.

1 x 10" grayling caught (and returned) on a size 16 klinkhammer. A westerly gusting wind made casting conditions tricky, and reduced the number of fish rising. But a terrific beat with some lovely water.

River very low and clear coupled with a hot, bright day meant we struggled!! Fished all the swims using a variety of methods and baits, result - 1 chubb. We never sighted or saw signs of barbel, very disappointing.

Another bright clear day with the river still low and clear. However we were catching fish within seconds of casting with 3 barbel coming to my rod in the first 3 casts but as always after an astonishing start things slowed down and we ended the day with a total of 7 barbel and 6 chub - (best fish at over 8lb). All fish came to either meat or pellet.

Wonderful day, we had fished these beats during the 90's so quite a nostalgic trip! and my husband remembers meeting Mr Pashley Just one point the turning to the gate is 2.3 miles from the Prince of Wales pub ata little triangle in the road.

12lb freshish salmon on Tyr Celyn at 12.35pm

Perfect day, fished a windless sunny morning downsteam opposite the pylon. Barbel every where, caught eight fish on meat to 7lbs between 8am and 10am which is a personal best for me. Track not a problem. Thanks WUF.

Good salmon lost in the neck of rectory pool at 11am. Only fish all day.

Nil catch.

First time on this beat and very impressed. Varied, challenging water and great scenery. Lost a decent fish in Rock pool at 8am and saw another fish move in Rectory but nothing except a half pound trout caught. Looking forward to returning next Tuesday.
