Feedback & Reports

Early morning start. Due to the terrain and distance to walk I carried minimum of tackle to mid beat. Water level up approx 2ft and chocolate coloured, so decided to fish top end of beat in deeper slack water. Wading not possible. Rewarded with 3 chub to 4 lb and 3 barbel to 9 lb.
The downside to this good beat are the very steep tracks leading to the waters edge unless you have a 4x4 vehicle.
Choice of swims limited, banks could benefit from work to improve this situation.

Thank you WUF - most enjoyable day.

Arrived to find river up but starting to drop off. Caught 35 barbel to 8lb, 12 chub to 5lb plus 1 eel over 4 days.Bad thunderstorm and heavy rain thursday morning put paid to fishing Friday. All fish caught on pellet, lovely settings, swims, comfortable access and directions perfect. All fish caught top end of fishery. Thanks Wye and Usk, we will be back, bring on Aramstone in September!

2 today 9 and 6 lbs on FC with 1 hook!

Stream clearing after spate. Few fish rising. 6 BT on Adams & Mayfly.

1 fish caught between 2 rods (12 inches), returned, and 3 missed. Klinkhammer, emergers and goldhead damsel nymph best. Water level was high and falling all day and colour improved following flood previous day.
Tricky wading - wading staff essential.

Water looked good and cleared markedly mid afternoon early evening. Of salmon, none seen, heard or connected.

This was satisfying as this was a free day having been washed off earlier in the season - made more satisfying by catching a 10.5lb Salmon. A bronzey colour appearing suggesting it was one of the 2SW from early May?

Well had one of the "those days" on this beat. I arrived to find the river about 5ft above normal. It had peaked on the Saturday about 10 ft above normal. I soon found a swim in the meadow with a good walking pace flow. During the morning caught 13 barbel to 8lbs 11oz plus 3 chub.
Moved swims after getting to this uncomfortable number. Second cast in the new swim produced a barbel. This was followed by 5 more to 9lbs 2oz. The fish certainly fought well in the extra flow. All the fish were caught on pellet. So 19 barbel and 3 chub was indeed a "red letter day". Looking forward to my other sessions I've got booked. Thanks as ever to Don for a beautiful fishery.

River still at 5ft above normal level so fishing the meadow the only option. First swim fished produced 1 barbel around the 3lb mark so moved mid afternoon to a lower swim, this produced 2 Barbel best 9lb 8oz and 1 Chub. All fish taken on halibut pellet. Thanks to Don for his advice.

A total of around 12 brown trout to 1.5lbs were caught using nymphs. All were returned. A small number of up-winged flies were seen but the trout were not rising to them. The river was clearing but full and running with some force. The weather was dry and mild.
We would like to thank you once again for bringing this quality of fishing into the public arena. Your booking system is second to none. Thank you , we will return. Rod Dibble.
