Feedback & Reports

This is the first time we have fished this beat and although we caught 12 barbel from 5lb to 8lb and 8 big chub, I would not recommend this beat if you like to rove about as the only pegs worth fishing are at the bottom end of the beat apart from one at the very top end of the beat ( a very long walk for one peg ). All fish were caught on 1 or 2 8mm halibut pellets

Lovely session at Foy Bridge. Pellet feeder in a number of different swims brought 4 Barbel and a number of chub.

This is a great stretch of river and had a really enjoyable morning Session with all 4 of us catching 2 Barbel, one of which was close to double figures. Once we had walked down to the river we turned left at first but halfway down the track the nettles and undergrowth stopped us from getting to the end of the stretch. These were above head height in places I would strongly advise good heavy duty clothing is worn if you want to attempt to get past this. All in all another beautiful stretch of The River Wye. Would Fish the stretch again.

Enjoyable if not tiring day on an exellent venue. Caught plenty of roach, rudd and perch on the float. The carp outwitted me though, I lost three decent size fish off the surface in the evening.
Many thanks again to the WUF for making such a lovely secluded lake like this available.

Nil return apart from one trout. Maybe the dirty little rise of water overnight upset them or I could losing my touch.

The river was full and carrying a little colour. Nothing showing in the afternoon. Fishing nymphs I had several tugs before bringing one small trout to hand. In the evening the odd fish could be seen feeding in the slack sections. Two trout to a black suspender, the best being about 12”. A tree has fallen across the river about 50 meters downstream of the weir.

Five barbel and three chub on hemp and pellet. River full and fast with a bit of colour. Enjoyable day.

Fished from 3pm to 5pm. River flowing strongly with slight cloud. No fish rising and no fly. Two small trout on Black and Peacock Spider. A nice stretch which I have admired for years every time I crossed the bridge. Wouild advise chest waders though to reach all parts. I fished the gamefishers Lugg below Pilleth from 12pm. The Lugg looks at its best with strong flow. Only two small trout though. Can you please get the guage at Ddol Farm fixed soon. It is invaluable for getting river level before setting out from Worcester. Also where have all the grayling gone in the Wye at Rhayader only caaught 1 this season? Also where is the new stretch on the upper Wye? Sorry to ask so many questions!

WUF note - The new main river beat Craig Llyn is a few hundred yards below Llanwrthyl Bridge. Beat information will be available later today 24th Aug via email by request.

Nothing moved or seen apart from a small brown trout, despite the river looking really good. Fished down through with the fly a couple of times before the boats started. After lunch I took 9 barbel to 8lb from the bottom pool in quick succession so all was not lost.

Great days fishing again. The river was low and clear which was a surprise. Caught throughout the day on pellet. The rain fell very heavily and the banks were treacherous in places. In one swim it was so bad it was impossible to fish without a risk of falling in. The barbel were feeding really well however it was much too dangerous.In total 11 barbel were caught to 7lbs 6oz and 5 chub to 4lbs 10oz. There is a definite pattern to feeding at the moment. But I'm sure this will change. Looking forward to fishing this lovely stretch again on Monday and Thurs next week. No problem with canoes, I think us anglers are more upset by them than the fish.
