Feedback & Reports

I fished the bottom pool with feeder and pellet and had 18 barbel with one special fish of 9.6lb, a real brute as most of the fish are in the 1 - 3lb mark , Ian fished off second cribe with the same method we both felt we should have fished the float and would have caught more , canoes were more than ever and have never seen the water that low.

Expensive days float fishing as my platform was wiped out by a canoeist and I lost all my bait and landing net .
Luckily I managed to retrieve my rod.

Another good day on wyebank . Two anglers fished not one as stated. Twenty six barbel ( mainly small) six chub and one two pound eel . River very low , all fish caught in fast water and lots of time given to recover . Please remember if you are returning fish in shallow water make sure they swim off . We had plenty of fish but oxygen levels very low . Thanks w+ u

Fished from mid afternoon until late but a couple of very small barbel and a few dace were the sum total of the efforts of the three of us. It's the first time we've fished here and the very hot and bright conditions didn't help and neither did the canoes on such a shallow stretch, there were hundreds of them. We've been fishing the Wye for a good number of years now and this was the highest concentration of canoes we've seen in any area.
A couple of points worth noting. The "blurb" tells you that access is good and, in Wye terms, it isn't too bad but it's still quite difficult particularly for anglers who may not be so spritely on their feet, the path is undulating and steep in places and there is plenty of rocky terrain to negotiate. Parking is good and close to the river but the info provided fails to tell you that the car parks are locked at 8pm so if you wish to fish late at this time of year you have to move your vehicle and alternative parking is not so plentiful.
Not a particularly good beat and definitely not worth the £25 each that we paid.

Fished evening session in bottom pool very low and weedy, one proper barbel of 5 lb. Lost another when hook pulled. Biggest chub 3 lb. Always pleasant fishing here.

Another hot day! Better flow here and all Barbel caught were under 4lbs in weight. True what they say about this stretch.....a nursery for the barbel. Great day, and great to see some of the younger barbel for a change......bodes very well for the future. All fish caught on pellet and feeder tactics. 1 Eel
