Feedback & Reports

My first time on this beat and the weather could best be described as 'dreich'. Despite this, having read the recent catch reports, I was hopeful of a good day. But, it wasn't quite to be - I fished the beat near the hut and ended up with just the one barbel of approximately 4lb. Maybe a more mobile approach would have paid off. I started the day off with a visit to Woodys in Hereford - a proper tackle shop, lots of friendly advice - definitely worth a detour if you're visiting the Wye.

6 Barbel caught. Levels dropping slightly and fishing i.e. holding bottom etc quite easy. All fish caught from half way down the beat on pellet. Water was very cold.

Had a nice day on the Courtfield beat with lots of sun but the river was high and fast and the only catch was two eels.
One was about 3lb though, he had tried to tack my half Mackerel dead bait on my pike rod, but spat it out just before landing.
Will have another go when the river is lower. I always catch Barbel when fishing on the Wye. I knew they were there, just could not get them to feed that day.

Great day on a beautiful stretch of water. 8 grayling upto 1.5lb and a 1lb WBT. All fish bar one caught on dries.

It was a beautiful morning, very misty & still with a light frost. The river had come up 2-3 inches overnight. A very slow start and with only 1 barbel of 10lb 3oz caught within the first 3 hours we decided to move further up to the top of Vanstone. This proved as unfruitful as the morning with no further barbel showing. However lots of quality dace fell to maggot. Not the fishing quantity of the previous day, but yet again the stunning surroundings and wildlife made up for this. All barbel caught in our 2 days were of pristine condition & super hard fighters....great sport!! Can't wait to come back. Once again, well done WUF!

Unfortunately no fish caught, but excellent & friendly advice from the owner of the fishery, will definitely book more fishing on same & other of your waters. Thanks for the very prompt & efficient booking. Best regards pww (Andy). P.S. Have a wonderful Chistmas.

Just one barbel caught on pellet and one nice pike taken on deadbait, river level dropping down well during the day, fantastic scenery, wildlife, and the colour change Another nice day on Wye, thanks Colin & WUF staff for your excellent service, roll on next weekend!

Complete blank. River very brown. Seemed quite high, but it was my first time on this river so not sure what are "optimum" conditions.

Another good day on the Wye, caught 5 chub on pellet and finally caught my first barbel at the fishing hut, not a bad size at 5lb 10oz. Defo coming back.

Back again, this time the weather was abit more favourable! We fished from 7am to 4pm in the meadows stretch before the woods for 8 Barbel to 9lb 14oz. Bait was fishmeal boilies with 4/5oz leads to hold bottom. We had to cast at least once every 10 minutes at least because of the weed but the fish didnt mind!! WILL BE BACK ASAP!!!
