Feedback & Reports

Fished Legg Meadow for three days from Tuesday until Thursday. River conditions not ideal, very coloured and running 4ft over normal level. Had 29 barbel between the four rods averaging around 7lb with two going to double figures, the biggest being 11lbs 2oz. Also managed around a dozen chub, the biggest at 5lb 6oz.

16 Barbel and 19 Chub caught between all 4 anglers. Excellent days fishing, although it rained all day. The banks were very slippery and could do with improving. We can't wait for our next visit to the Wye.

3 barbel. 1 eel.

River up 2 1/2 ft and very coloured. Finished the day with 12 barbel and 5 chub, the majority coming in a crazy 1 1/2 hour. This beat is probably the best I have fished for access to a large number of swims. Don, the owner, very helpful.

I tried the bottom of the wood beat to begin with but found it still pushing through too fast for comfort and after an hour and only one 3lb Chub I moved up to the first swim in Legg Meadow. After a couple more Chub, the Barbel moved in and I finished with nine of them to 7lb 13ozs all caught on Elips pellets.

Another great Wye day. Arrived to find the river 4 foot up and coloured but dropping.
Fished pellet/feeder and caught consistently throughout the day ending with 30 fish between us to 10lbs 1oz.

Unfortunately the river had risen by approx 2feet and carried a lot of colour, the fishing was hard and only two fish were landed both Barbel the first to Roger and the second to Paul which weighed in at 8 pounds 12 oz and in fine fettle. we called it a day at around 4.00pm and went to the pub.
Fished Courtfield before and will fish it again.

Fished peg 2 from early morning until approx 2:00pm when all my bait was used up! During the day I landed 7 barbel to 10lb 6oz ( a personal best. All other barbel were in the 7-8lb stamp. Also had 3 decent size chub. All caught during torrential rainstorm. Don very helpful and informative. Can't wait to go back.

7 barbel to 7lb and a small chub. Spent to much time looking for the parking at the Severn Trent water complex, it is now Costain (builders). As with all 5 beats we fished, we felt a few signs would help. Nice stretch, will be going back.

Fished in the meadow stretch as we had been advised by Don that the river was still a little high for the woods swims. River fining down and looked almost perfect but fishing was very slow compared with yesterdays results. Finished with 6 barbel and 11 chub topped by a 9lb 13oz barbel at about 7pm. A lovely looking stretch of river in a very tranquil setting. Will certainly return. Thanks again to Don for his help and encouragement.
