Feedback & Reports

Arrived with my friend at 7am and fished till 6pm. We tried halibut pellets,spice pellets,luncheon meat. We didn't catch any barbel. I caught just 1 chub. The hill is steep, but not very long and we didn't have any problem with that.
There is not much space for fishing. I would say just first 200 meters and even that is not good. I will never go back to this part of the river. I think you should not charge £15 but maybe £5 per day. My plan was, if we don't catch any barbel in few hours, we will move further, but where?!!Not happy with this.
At 5pm came two I think Polish speaking men. At 6pm came another two. I asked them if they going to fish over night. They said Yes. I think they were poachers. Because if there is no night fishing, why would they fished over night? Also they had cans of beers with them.

11 trout caught mostly 9" to 11". Beautiful beat well worth a visit.

Very straightforward booking process. I didn't arrive at the beat until half past four.
By the time I had walked the beat (avoiding a family of picnickers and swimmers) and decided that the inviting looking Corner Pool was unsafe to wade far enough out due to the height of the water and the uneven bedrock and boulder combination footing. I didn't start fishing the Lower Flats until almost six. I did enjoy this very beautiful and interesting beat though. Inspite of abundant hatches of various Olives and Sedge I was surprised by the lack of rising fish in the evening. I only managed to land one wbt of about 3/4 of a pound, caught on a quill body Olive dun imitation.
Thanks very much for a very pleasant evening's fishing, I'll be back next year.

1 x Grayling which was returned. Caught on a Grey Wulff.

Another fantastic beat on what was probably not the most productive day, as it was bright sunshine all day long, although not complaining! 15 Barbel to 9lb 8oz and 1 chub. We stayed at the Cottage of Content and had a great time, Thanks again W&UF!

First ever day Barbel fishing (generally go trout / salmon fishing) and the guys in the the fishing shop in Ross gave sound advice! 11 barbel landed and a few lost on swim fed hallibut pellet, to 8lbs with several over 5 lbs. Relentless canoes all day but didn't appear to affect the feeding fish so not a problem. Will be back, but doubt conditions will be so perfect every time

A beautiful day. Nil catch.

2 Barbel, 7and 9lb and one chub 4lb. The canoe problem is just so bad that its difficult to fish the water at all between 10am and 4pm.

Nice sunny day with slight breeze. River low and slightly stained. Fished a Copper John with indicator. One 5" WBT downstream of the river and 3 more upstream in one pool. Missed a couple of takes. Did not see another soul entire day. WUF's directions to the beat are spot on.

Lovely day and river in good condition but bites hard to come by. Ended on three barbel between us, the best 7lb 6oz. A disappointing return for the amount of effort but at least M got his first Wye barbel.
