Feedback & Reports

Fished all of the lower part of the beat. One barbel late on opposite the two big houses plus a perch on a spinner in margins. Too bright today but a superb beat much improved since last visit. Day 2 of 3.

1 Barbel, 1 Other

Had a great day and a lovely beat, hooked two barbel and lost both!! We are still trying to work out why? Although plenty of activity and we didnt manage to bank a fish but we still very much enjoyed our day on the river. Many thanks WUF for all your work.

Fished a variety of swims during the day for 1 barbel and 1 chub. Moved late afternoon and had a barbel and chub in successive casts as had my fishing partner. Nothing else until suddenly at 8pm it was one a chuck. Had 5 barbel and 3 chub in an hour. Packed up at 9 but they were still feeding. Partner had packed up at 8!! All but 1 barbel caught on sweetcorn. Will return to this stretch another time.

8 Barbel, 5 Chub

Wasn't able to fish upper /deeper part of beat (nice chap already ensconced). Fished the mid section, not a sausage. Couldnt stay too late which may have been the key to that stretch at that level of flow.

Great river conditions but weed is building up now, caught the same chub twice, it had fresh bite marks on its tail. I suspect it was done by an otter that I saw 3 times. An enjoyable day thanks.

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

Very hot and bright, water now very low and weedy. However 3 fish, 2 barbel both around 7 1/2 so no complaints.

Fished afternoon, 2 barbell. River started to rise as I was leaving. Wish I was fishing tomorrow.

2 Barbel

Fished from 11am through to 8pm on lower beat. Largest barbel 7 1/2 pounds. Cut weed constantly coming down river throughout the day which was a bit of a problem. However still managed 7 barbel. It was another great day on the Wye and Usk, thanks again.

7 Barbel

Nice beat with good access. All fish between 5 and 7 lbs on pellet/boilie.

Fished Wye for the first time. River low and very clear, weather was hot with some cloud at times through the day. Fished from 7.30 a.m to 3 p.m. but I could not get a bite all day on the lower part of the beat opposite the white & yellow house on far bank. The swim looked ok with a few feet depth of water in front of me. Used feeder with pellet bait & tried luncheon meat on the hook also. Moved to upper section just above the orchard and started to get bites off far bank to luncheon meat from about 5 p.m. but still no bites or proper takes. Very disapointing and I hope the Creel gives up some fish to me tomorrow.
