Feedback & Reports

Did not fish. We booked Foy and the Creel. The River was extremely low and this stretch is full of streamer weed. Very limited access to any swims, banks are very overgrown. We simply could not get down the areas we wanted to fish so did not even bother. Waste of money. Would not recommend fishing this stretch unless you have waders and a box / platform to get out in the river.

Booking Office Note: The River Wye is a SSSI protected river, which makes cutting swims very difficult - although some swims have been cleared along the beat. The streamer weed (Ranunculus) is also a SSSI protected species, so it can't be cut and cleared, but is also very important habitat for the fish. The low river will also make access more difficult, and we do always encourage anglers to take waders or wellies with them to suit all circumstances.

Legering with meat, the river has good colour, the levels are on the low side slightly

River was on the up with plenty of colour. Managed just the one barbel before the heavens opened. Lost 2 good fish that came unhooked so felt a little unlucky. Main method was feeder and pellets. Fished the main swim half way down the left bank.

Lovely spot. Fished early morning and evening. Barbel on legered pellets. Chub on trotted bread. River at good level with some colour. The newbie was particularly chuffed with his barbel! We stayed with our families at the fantastic “Anchor and Can” cottage in Hole in the Wall which is walking distance

Hard days fishing, bites came at first and last light. Slow during the day as sun was out all day, luckily we had airb&b 500yard from this stretch to go and freshen up. Last two swim were the most productive.

Frustrating day as cloud cover did not materialise so got cooked watching a stationary quiver tip. Main swim produced one bite but the fish found a snag after a few minutes and that was the end of the barbel action . A late move to the faster water brought 3 chub and 1 eel. If only I had moved earlier? River looked off colour( brownish tinge) and where are the swallows and swifts this year? All fish caught on curried meat .
