Feedback & Reports

Despite rain earlier in week river still low and clear and dropped a further few inches on the day. Chose to spend day on lower section with majority of fish coming late in day to meat and pellet tactics.
Barbel to 8lb and chub to 4.5lb. Tried all pegs from cattle drink downstream. Back in October, hope for more colour to water.

All fish fell to feeder tactics. No better way to spend a day.

Another bright and sunny day on a low and very clear river. Only 3 barbel from the middle pool at the bottom end of the beat. 15 good chub, mainly caught on waggler and hair rigged pellet.

Lovely days fishing on a fantastic piece of river. Only thing that spoilt the day was the amount of angling litter left on the banks it was terrible, I filled 3 carrier bags with meat tins, hemp tins and empty pellet/ground bait bags. The people who have left the place in such a state should be ashamed to call themselves anglers.

Only managed one hour of fishing with the kids. Very little flow and no signs of any fish.

River very low but gave us a chance to see the rocks in the river where we loose our tackle. Set up and watched the otters swimming bye then when we moved swims. Had to clear up rubbish left by morons tin cans paper rappers all harmful to the cows in the field and the large friendly bull. We could not understand how some people could pay £22 plus booking fee and leave litter.
Back to the fishing, bait was pellets, sweetcorn and meat with swimfeeders, ledgering, freelining. The barbel were 8lb 10oz and 6lb 4oz and the Chub were from 3.5lbs to 4.9lbs. In the evening about 8.30ish 3 Otters swam into the swim one of us was fishing so we called it a day. We had a good day despite the storms, it's a lovely part of Herefordshire. Thank you Wye & Usk Foundation, we will be back.

An early session (6am-11am), river a bit higher than my last visit a couple of weeks a ago. Caught a barbel first cast, almost on the drop, then several more at regular intervals throughout the morning.
