Feedback & Reports

Overcast and drizzle day. River not high. Three chub between 3 and 4lbs, 1 barbel just after sunset at 9lbs, and 1 other lost. Fish caught on pellet and meat. Quite a trek up and over the hill to venture downstream of the woods! Had a visit from a cheeky otter.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub

My second visit to this stretch river lower and clearer than last time. 1 barbel and 2 chub came in 20 minute spell around midday rest of day no bites. Friday is pheasant shooting day a friendly lot but not sure 6 blokes blasting away in field above me and dogs jumping in river helped the fishing.

River still fining down from high levels of previous week, so good height and colour. Strong winds overnight meant a lot of leaves in the river compared to day before.
Bites very difficult to come by in field below wood. Rang the changes with maggots, pellets and meat in each swim. Quick check of the beats catch reports on this website convinced me to sit it out below woodland and it paid off. Bites came in last two hours, mainly to meat. At about 8lbs, my biggest barbel for a few years too. Even caught a swimfeeder to replace the one I lost to a snag today!

A very pleasant four hours on the Wye with the Ross gauge showing c.0.8m on a falling river, and with improving water clarity. I had only four distinct bites, with three barbel caught and another lost to a hook pull. Pellet and meat were both successful.
