Feedback & Reports

The swims in the first field were ok but further downstream access to the river is poor. The opposite side is a non starter

Water levels and colour were very good,only fished the woods area, the others were all eels, they were a problem all day, any meat baits they were on it. I would say to fish most swims you need a 3m landing net pole, very difficult to land and release fish from most swims.

Not a huge amount of swims to choose from between the 2 of us. River looked good, nice colour, maybe flowing a tad fast. Not many bites, but no blank. I think the sudden change in over night temperature effected the fishing. Other was eel.

6 on trotted luncheon meat 5 to feeder tactics. Loose feed hemp & sweetcorn. Again sadly no barbel, 4 visits to the Wye so far this year, 3 different venues and no barbel. A very enjoyable day.

Nice to be out in the September sunshine, and I can only offer that, and the very low water levels for a blank day. My first visit here this year, there are a lot of big fallen trees in and across the brook. But then, it’s a wild stream.

Quite a slow day for bites which I think the forst had affected the river but did manage a few chub and 1 small barbel each

The beat was carrying some extra water which made for some adventurous wading. I didn’t see any rising fish all day except for one towards evening. I caught on nymphs mainly in the morning before the mist burned off but then on and off through the day.

Slowest I have known white house. I think the colder water did for it.
