Feedback & Reports

Fished in front of second picnic table, meat corn and pellet on feeder, 4ft tail to size 14 with two pellet bands or a bait spike. 4 barbel, lost two more, 3 chub and 3 dace. Quite snaggy anywhere more than one third over due to lost braid/nylon from previous anglers but couldn't get a bite closer in. Moved to upstream end swim and trotted meat and corn close in for 14 more chub up to 3lb but mostly 12oz to 20oz, some good dace and a perch. Mind the tripwire 4 inches off the ground at the top of the bank in this peg. Short stretch but lovely and peaceful. An hour's work with a pole saw would would improve the middle swims no end. Would definitely fish here again as long as it was during a dry spell.

Three fishing. Pretty hard going. 1 angler had almost all of the fish from the upstream swim.
Watch out for the goat!

Great looking venue but hard fishing despite good conditions. All but 1 barbel caught by 1 person at the top of the beat.
PS - the big goat looks terrifying but pretty harmless

River very high.

Rainy wet conditions. Slippery banks. Chocolatey coloured water making the fishing hard with the fast current. Margins were the only area which were fishable using a 5oz lead in the slack to just about hold bottom. Lovely peaceful day for our first time on the wye. All fish caught on pellets.

Beautiful small beat, steps cut into bank were great. River in perfect condition, managed 6 barbel and 2 chub.

We took note of comments by previous anglers and left the car inside the top gate, in hindsight a good decision given the rain towards the end of the session. We doubled up in the second peg up from the downstream end. Given past feedback comments we decided against using meat as bait in order to avoid the chub as much as possible. All fish were caught on a mixture of dumbbell boilies and pellets. We hooked 12 barbel but lost three of them and also landed 12 chub. A rope and dogspike are recommended especially in wet weather. It was great to find that steps had been cut out in the steep bank. A thoroughly enjoyable day on a new venue for us.

Great days fishing. The banks were treacherous in the morning being very wet. There are steps cut out in every swim which make it easier to get up and down. The river was pretty high so only 1 swim which was easily fish able. The river was falling during the but still pushing through nicely. Chub were all 1lb to just shy of 4lb, mainly caught using big chunks on luncheon meat. Both barbel were around 6lb and both caught on luncheon meat. 4oz feeder was just holding bottom in the slacker water. Other baits that worked were glugged halibut hookables.

Great little venue with loads of wildlife !

River low and clear though suspect that will change with all the rain forecast this week. No sign of barbel today though all the Chub caught were of a good stamp between 3 - 5 lb. All bar one were caught trotting meat.
