Feedback & Reports

Despite the improved river level it was a tough day fishing wise and add into that the horrible weather and consequent super slippery banks then it made for for 3 rather downcast anglers. This is a great beat and Stefan has done a great job in improving access all along the beat but he can't do this alone. There has to be a greater effort from the landowners to improve things for coarse anglers to justify the prices they charge and to improve safety. Yes, I understand the Wye is a SSSI and I know it's slippery when it rains but when it comes to agricultural matters, the landowners seem to have considerable license in what they do regarding the river banks, cattle do far more damage to river bank flaura than anglers ever will. I've also noticed that other fisheries along the Wye have put some considerable effort into improving access and safety for anglers which has been done in harmony with the river bank environment. Is a little of that on this beat to much to ask?

A two foot rise at MHC for our trip giving it a lovely colour and pace and the recent drop in water temperature, plus mostly overcast skies suggested we might have finally hit it sock on. Two fished for 2 1/2 hours in the morning and had 2 barbel each and 4 chub, one top one bottom. Met the other two for a nice lunch in the White Lion and returned to fish 1400 to 1930. 2 more for one of the morning guys and 3 barbel & 10 chub for one of the afternooners both down the bottom. The top two had 10 each plus Chub. Most caught on gb feeder with 10mm halibuts but this died later with a change to glugged boillies producing 3 late fish for one. Nice chat with Stefan off to do some strimming ready for the forecast water rise. Keep up the great work. 12 was my number.
A very good day.
